Survival Kits - geeky but handy.

I just wanted to make a quick post about this. I was keeping up on my geeky technology posts when I happened accross a link to this website. It was from Field & Stream detailing how to make a survival kit from an altoids container. Wow... just like a page out of my Cub Scout days. We had to make one of these things to earn a badge if I recall. Still... even if you don't care about earning badges these little things are handy if you spend any time in the woods. I myself, like to camp a lot and so this should be something I carry with me. Mind you, I don't do any back woods camping where you hike in with all your stuff. I prefer car camping where I pull up... tip the car on end and dump everthing out onto my campsite. I can't imagine needing a survival kit. Yet... those who end up lost and in the middle of nowhere are probably just as easily from the car camping group as they are the back woods variety. I think carrying one of these things around is a pretty good idea. Not too mention the geek factor is really high, so it resonates really well with me. lol. :)
