How do I make a mini wilderness survival kit?

Answer 1

How mini?
For a single item: a good fixed blade knife.
Second item: a knife sharpening tool.
Third: method of producing fire. Some prefer waterproof matches or stick matches in a water proof container. I always preferred a "flint and magnesium block" which when used with the knife above will produce more flames even in the wettest conditions.
Water purification tablets.
Salt or bullion cubes.
The other items depend upon the location you travel and your personal abilities. In no particular order:
Safety pins (assorted sizes including Diaper pins)
Kevlar line (SpiderWire or other fishing line) best to have one light weight (5 lb) and one heavy (50 lb or greater)
Several sizes of fish hooks
Gauze bandages (and Band-Aids)
Precision forceps or tweezers
Pain killers (Acetaminophen, Ibuprofen)
Space blanket (aluminized Mylar)
Aluminum foil (also be used to make a signal mirror)
Sewing kit (several size needles and threads)
Clean white cotton handkerchiefs
Some find use for a compass, whistle, duct tape, multifunction tools including "Swiss Army knives" and bulk chocolate blocks.

If you have the room or weight limit high enough include an extra pair of heavy socks, an Ace (elastic) bandage, several feet of leather strip, allergy medication (Sinus relief) and some iodine.

A map of the area entered is always a plus.

With every day pass, our country is getting into more and more trouble. The inflation, unemployment and falling value of dollar are the main concern for our Government but authorities are just sleeping, they don’t want to face the fact. Media is also involve in it, they are force to stop showing the real economic situation to the people. I start getting more concern about my future as well as my family after watching the response of our Government for the people that affected by hurricane Katrina.

According to recent studies made by World Bank, the coming crisis will be far worse than initially predicted.
