Just thinking if your lost outside, you may need to be able to build a fire with which to keep warm.

on 9/4/2008 Key reminders: any required Rx (including contacts) for all persons. Make it an annual task to check expiration dates for Rx & first aid items (& batteries!) & restock promptly.
The best sources for specific item lists can be found at FEMA (yeah, don't laugh), ready.gov is very good & almost any amateur radio/emergency services site. The latter are especially good since they end up *using* their kits & have lots of experience.
