Below is a list of some items you might want to add on your own. Some can be found in your bathroom medicine closet. Others may be purchased locally (regional specific maps). There are also some items in the side bar that others have found useful in this kit.

Regional Road Maps You may be walking rather than driving if roads are impassable or clogged. Cell phones and GPS may not be working after a disaster, paper maps will be important. These will be helpful to planning your escape route.

Regional Topographical Maps Once you are off the road, these will be helpful in finding trails, fire roads, water sources and understanding the topography (climbs or steep cliffs) that you may be facing. Get to know symbols such as natural water springs, cattle watering stations, creeks and crossings that are marked in your area. You can use free resources such as Google Maps to cobble together custom maps. If you do be sure to print them on waterproof paper (sold in sidebar) and keep them in plastic sheet protectors or Alok Sak bags (also sold in sidebar) to preserve them. Practice your routes as a casual day hike, bike or weekend jaunt. It is wise to prescout trails, camps, and water collection sites.

Hard Candy and More Foil Packaged Protein Bars will provide high energy but are low weight and long lasting.

Personal Prescriptions and Medications Supplement the hard case first aid kit (there is room). Benadryl tablets, aspirin and more can be added as you see fit.

Firearms. This is a personal choice. Some small semi automatic .22 or .380 pistols or a small Derringer may fit in this fanny pack, though you may have to experiment.

Reading Glasses / Sun Glasses -- make sure you have the proper diopter so that you can read medicine bottles & other fine print. This often means a stronger pair than you usually wear.

Anti Bacterial (Hotel Sized) Bar Soap - Anti Bacterial properties are important to reduce risk of infections. Can be used as soap, a dry lubricant, even fish bait - yes they are attracted to it. Mix with a bit of water for quick emergency washing (in case of chemical or biological exposure)

Tips for Packing:

* Fry Pan from the Mess kit may not fit unless you creatively fill it with other items (wasted airspace).

* Pack items inside the Tea Cup and boiling pot to prevent wasted air space. The Fire Fixins and GI Can opener are logical choices. You can also fit small plastic bags with pills. Use rubber bands to secure lid to pot.

* Food - the 3600 calorie food ration should be nestled close to your back inside the pack. It is heavy and the weight should be close to your body.

* Knife - the buckle of the fanny pack fits nicely through the belt hole in the sheath of the knife. Wearing on the belt provides secure, fast, easy access to the fire starter and knife. We recommend storing the knife in the sheath on the packs belt at all times - ready to go.

* Take items out of their plastic retail packages for packing. Cut down any instruction sheets to their smallest size and tape them to the item to save space.

* Double bag DEET and Esbit tabs in plastic zip lock bags if possible.

* Store with water bottles full. Replace water every 6 months if using municipal tap water that has been purified with chlorination (recommended).

* Store items you may need in a hurry (pills, map, poncho) in the outside zipper pocket.
