This site was recommended to me by a friend I hike with. The content is based on U.S. Army Field Manual 21-76.
In spite of the fact that they sell Ranger Rick's "Special Ops Survival Necklace," I've found the site to be a good resource.

36"x36" Blaze Orange signal panel on a very fine silk or rayon type material, compresses down to about the size of a golf ball in its packaging. VERY visible, and VERY small when packed. Could probably fit in a film can or stow loose over everything else to minimize rattles.
Beats the heck out of a VS-17 Panel for personal survival use.
NDD, just kidding, and wondering where to get them and how much. But if you do start up the sweatshop idea, I want in!

New information for an old thread. It seems that Doug Ritter from www.equipped.com teamed up with the folks from Adventure Medical Kits to create a basic, pocket-sized survival kits that is commercially available. Its called the Pocket Survival Pack, and contains some very basic but essential items of very good quality. It supposedly weighs just under 4oz. and is contained in the same heavy-duty ziplock bag that AMK's pocket kits use. I've only found one source for it so far:
http://www.aeromedix.com/index.php?_...b29bb49668c9e5
Alone, its a bare bones kit, but with some user-added items (meds, iodine tablets, matches, 550, maybe a better outer container) its the base for an excellent pocket survival kit. The price seems a bit high at first, but when you consider the cost of buying some of these items separately (Starflash mirror: $6, decent compass: $6, Fox40 whistle: probably $5, Spark-Lite: $8, Fresnel lens: $2), you can see that its a pretty good deal.
Just wanted to keep everyone updated.

I know it's a necro-post, but:
Panel, Marker (the silky aviation one, not VS-17)
NSN: 8345-00-140-4232
$3.60 each
Class 2
Expendable
Ordered through normal supply channels. It's a great item.

Razor,
You can get that item from your nearest household water purification store. It shouldn't be that hard to obtain from them and also should be a cheap item. Remember my experiments show around here that the temperature needs to be above 60+ degrees for the chain reaction to work.

An excellent tip from the recon guys, and this panel breathes much better than the VS-17.

That looks familiar! When I was on active duty and wore BDUs all the time, I had a piece of orange cloth sewn into my patrol cap when I was home on leave. Ain't moms great?

This is the survival tin i use alongside one i made myself, im a keen fisherman and i find the fishing kits in survival kits poor to be honest , the hooks are blunt as coat hangers compared to a packet of chemically sharpened hooks bought from a fishing tackle shop, just my 2ps worth
