It just too close to "slim chance of rescue" ;)<BR/>Pablo.Pablohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03175224816828574328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8825273392145948457.post-69684503522806311562008-03-22T12:26:00.000+00:002008-03-22T12:26:00.000+00:00i couldn't agree with you more, a case in point is...i couldn't agree with you more, a case in point is the way the off the shelf kits contain matches, what a waste of space! a butane lighter is SO much more efficient in terms of volume and weight. <BR/><BR/>Looking at the list I was interested to see that someone had included super glue, something i would never be without. One summer when TNM and i were about to leave on our travels i smashed my fingernail while trying to lock the garage door - I super glued it shut (the nail not the garage door!)until i could get to a nail bar where for $3 i had a nylon nail glued on top of the damaged nail. It took about two months to grow out but never got infected and was pretty much pain free.<BR/>thanks for reading<BR/>SBWThe Suburban Bushwackerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09372690405902840131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8825273392145948457.post-28461492476487805972008-03-22T10:56:00.000+00:002008-03-22T10:56:00.000+00:00I've never been impressed by prepackaged kits and ...I've never been impressed by prepackaged kits and feel you are much better off to diy.<BR/><BR/>Buying a kit you may rely upon for your life from a market saturated with kits is risky - competitive pressure drives down prices (and therefore quality), capitalism drives up profits, and marketing hype spins sales.<BR/><BR/>IMHO better to do your own research with experienced outdoorsmen and through real world personal experience and make your own.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
