By no means is this my area of expertise...it looks pretty good but it is lacking water sanitation tabs.
I think I would also change the belt to this one.
S.O. Tech SERE riggers belt
Good find NDD!

Looks pretty well thought out, but whew I look at the prices for this stuff and it makes me wonder what is going on with the US dollar!
I would have put in a few more med items myself, but a lot of those can't be had across the counter in most (read western) countries.
The belt looks pretty nifty. But 40 bucks for a piece of webbing with a ring is a bit stiff too.

Good Idea!
It looks like an Eagle Creek All Terrain Money Belt (Click for link) with a bunch of goodies stuffed inside.
$15 for the belt from the friendly hippies from REI and then pack to METT-T... I mean, how many fish hooks do you need in the desert?

I like the SO Tech belt better too.
I've never used the fish hooks.

Do you find that the zipper on the inside of the SO Tech SERE belt to be uncomfortable?
Looks to me like given the infrequency of opening, cutting off the zipper pull and grinding the remainder flat would be a better wear, or just using velcro for a closure.
Just my .02, YMMV.

NDD, I don't know about the contents of the last kits you linked here but I saw those small Pelican cases at SHOT Show this year, Those little cases look like first rate rigging (kit). CRK and I use a big pelican to ship stuff back and forth between us all the time. It's never failed.

Not at all. I have had several leather belts made with the zipper as well. Never even notice its there.

I didn't see a more detailed description of their '5 piece fire starting kit', or '9 piece fishing kit'. Do you know what that includes?

I recently received two of THESE! . I put one in a waist pack and one in my admin bag after playing with them for a couple of days. GTG in my opinion. The bag doesn't stay closed very well though. Especially if you scrunch the kit up a little to put it in a pouch.
