Nalgene Kit
 
1 Attachment(s)
This is a Nalgene Kit I've put together. It is a bit large and weights a few lbs but would be part of my BOB that I am also building. It's pretty large to be part of 2nd Line so I have it part of my 3rd line.

Contents include:

Nalgene Bottle
Mini Compass (on nalgene cap)
Red Photon light (on nalgene cap)
10 feet of heavy duty all weather duct tape wrapped around the bottle
18oz steel cup (boiling water)
Small medical array to include a scalpel blade, various bandaids
30 100mg ibuprofen, 20 benadryl, 10 Clariton, 5 200mg hydrocodene
1 chapstick
1oz tube of neosporin
1 large bic lighter
2x 50ft 12lb fishing line
fishing kit: (2 3ft steel leader, 3 18inch 15lb leader, various swivel and split shot, various J hooks)
Light my fire spark starter
1 heavy duty emergency blanket
1 bottle of water purification tabs
10 fire wicks
1oz Nu-Skin
1 heavy duty commando wire saw
1 spool booby trap wire
1 small tube of super glue
100ft daisy chain 550cord


Things I am thinking about adding: unlubricated condoms for water transport and a small utility tool (I've seen tiny leather-man's 3inchs and smaller)

Thoughts? Comments? Critiques?

You have the bottle. Make a small tote sack out off parachute type nylon with a gutted 550 cord draw string top just big enough to hold all that gear then stuff it on top of everything in the bottle.

If you do need to carry water you can put everything in the tote and use the bottle. Plus you know how much it holds.

The daisy chained 550 cord takes up a lot of space. Make 4 25' lengths. Take each one and make a loop roll the length of your spread out fingers and use the last 18"s to whip it into a tight bundle. Might give you enough room to stuff a couple more small items.

Good to Go
 
Thanks for the input Pete. Saved quite a bit of space and now have a tote bag to put all the contents in when using the nalgene for water! original thought was to put everything in pockets, but this will condense it and keep all the contents in one easy to access place.

And in one easy place to be lost. Make sure its a good bag and lanyard/harness, and go ahead and spread things out to your pockets except for bulky things to stay in the tote. You'll be in better shape if you lose your tote.

Thats a given
 
Didnt plan on having them all in one bag toted around while using the nalgene. Ill have them in my pockets etc. but in the event I do not have the privilege of pockets, the bag will serve a great purpose ;)

I like the frog gig, might put another lighter in "One is none two is one". perhaps some snare wire? That would be a great gift to receive!

I forgot to list the Snare wire but it's there. I have the Mag Bar and some matches, but another lighter wouldn't hurt.
Thanks..

Not enough.

Focus on what you know how to do, and not what might be possible.

Good luck!
