Here's a small personal survival kit that I've designed for my campaign. It's designed to fit
in the equivalent of double thick Altoids tin.
Pocket Survival Kit (TL8 Cr35)
“swiss army” knife with spearpoint blade, nail file, screwdriver tip, scissors, tweezers and whistle with wrist lanyard.
acrylic signal mirror (two-handed), 2.5cm x 5.1 cm, reusable protective sheet on face, nylon string lanyard
scalpel blade packed in foil
fire starter
5 loads of inflammable tinder for fire starter
5 wind and waterproof matches and striker (england)
wire saw
magnifying lens, (4.1cm x 7.6cm) magnifying area
18mm watchband compass, luminous face, nylon string lanyard
“keychain sized” white led lithium battery flashlight with nylon string wrist lanyard (12 hours on a single battery)
fishing kit:
9 small fish hooks
3 split shot
2 snap swivels
30 ft./9.1m monofilament fishing line, 15 lb. (6.8 kg) test, on bobbin
3 adhesive bandages, 1 x 3 inches (25 x 76 mm)
small tube liquid bandage (3 uses)
2 butterfly closure, medium
antiseptic prep pad
2 triple antibiotic ointment (1g packet; enough for 1 use)
2 pain relief tabs (24 hrs; like a strong analgesic)
2 electrolite tabs
10 water purification tabs (each tab will purify 1L of water)
rugged ziplock bag for use as water container, holds 300 ml
bouillon cube, chicken
heavy duty canvas sewing needle
30cm plastic electrical tape, 13 mm wide (wrapped around fire starter)
120cm parachute cord, mil-spec, red, 300 kg test (secured to exterior of container)
sheet of heavy duty aluminum foil, 30cm x 30cm
11m waxed dental floss
3.6m stainless steel wire (six 61 cm lengths)
3 large rugged safety pins
2 plastic cable ties
sheet waterproof paper, (10.8cm x 14cm)
6cm pencil, unsharpened
survival instruction sheet on waterproof
thumb drive with extensive medical and survival literature
fishing knots instruction sheet on waterproof paper
waterproof plastic box , (11.4cm x 8.3cm x 3.2cm), with latch.
TL9 Options
512GB+ thumb drive filled with survival and medical ebooks, along with diagnostic software (requires a reader that is not included in the kit) and entertainment software.
water purifier tabs purify 2L of water
cord holds 2 times the weight.
flashlight lasts 18 hours on a charge.
pain relief tabs last 48 hours.
TL10 Options (Kit costs Cr50):
Replace tinder with 5 fire tabs (strike on hard surface and will burn for 1 minute; wind and waterproof).
knife, saw and scalpel blade remains sharp nearly indefinitely.
case is also a media reader with built-in solar panel and rechargeable batteries (lasts 24 hours if no sunlight); contents of TL9 thumb drive are now built into case (also includes entertainment software, literature, etc., and a holographic keyboard for data entry). Also capable of short range radio communications (2 km) and can network with other devices.
water purifier tabs purify 3L of water and remove most objectionable flavors
flashlight also incorporates a laser that can work as a cutter. Flashlight lasts 24 hours. 1 minute of laser cutting uses 20 minutes of battery power (cutting speed through wood is 30cm per minute; most metal, 5 cm per minute; rock 3 cm per minute; cuts are 1cm deep).
matches are absolutely wind and waterproof and will work in almost any atmosphere.
mirror is as good as a TL8 glass mirror
TL11 Options:
case is nearly indestructible.
cord holds 3 times the weight.
magnifying glass is twice as effective and can start fires with half the amount of sunlight.
5 disposable diagnostic tests – a tiny needle that is used to obtain a blood sample, then is inserted into survival kit case. Software loaded into case will diagnose any medical condition that can be diagnosed by a blood test.
3 broad spectrum antibiotic tabs (1 per day for three days will defeat most infections)
pain relief tabs last 72 hours and are far more effective; can speed healing by 50%
antibiotic ointment and first aid cream replaced with 2 packages of general purpose wound cream (doubles healing rate when applied to a wound; dramatically improves coagulation; dramatically reduces pain).
laser flashlight lasts 36 hours.
water purifier tabs purify 4L of water and remove virtually all objectionable flavors
water bag holds 1L of water, contains regenerating microfilter which will catch most contaminants, including biological contaminants, and is good for 100 uses.
