    For Winter I usually just carry a firesteel and tinder, as long as I am warm and have water, my excess body weight would keep me alive until spring....lol
    Campfires are best shared with friends.

    My EDC consists of a Leatherman skeletool in a belt sheath which also contains plasters, a firesteel, a razor blade, some tinder and a match wrapped in duct tape. Oh and my paracord bracelet with a whistle buckle.

    One use for the Leatherman wire cutters would be cutting my dog free from a wire fence after he got his head stuck!

    I think survival tins are great fun and i always like to see how much stuff can be packed into a baccy tin Mines in my rucksack and gets opened and used on a regular basis. The knife in mine is a Spyderco Grasshopper. Cracking little knife thats razor sharp

    As valid a reason to have one as I have ever seen :-)
