Survival rations
These not so tasty bars, three of which will keep a human alive for a day. Labeled for morning, midday & evening consuption. They don't taste good for a reason. You don't want people snacking on these things!
A condensing canteen. This device can draw moisture from the from air, filling it's one liter storage compartment in two hours in a standard atmosphere with a standard humidity. It also has a filter system water added in more traditional methods.
Firestarting equipment. Probably some sort of butane torch with a built in flint & steel backup.
A large honking knife. The kind you can chop down small trees with as well as dress a medium sized critter like a deer (insert standard K'kree bar-b-q joke here).
Some sort of simple firearm. Like a AR-7, or a double barreled shotgun with a combination of slug & buckshot rounds.

TJ, Maspy is right. You need to specify what level of survival this is for. The SAS have a three level survival gear mentality.
Level One-This is what you have in your rucksack. This includes food, water, shelter, clothing, ammo, mission specific tools, team radio, ammo, medical kit, ammo, special weapons, and ammo.
Level Two-This is what you have in your web gear. This includes one meal, two canteens of water, ammo, knife, compass, mini survival kit, flares, tactical radio, back up weapon. Maybe some other goodies
Level Three-This is what you have when you are dumped in the river, shuck your gear and come up deep in enemy territory. This includes what ever you have concealed in your coat and pant seams, secret buttons (a la OSS). Pocketknife, what ever is in your cargo pockets, bootlaces, dog tags and little else.

Jim, a wilderness survival kit is made to meet the bare minimum requirements to live in the bush. Technology really does`t do much except improve on the existing equipment. There are exceptions, for example the GPS locaters have revolutionized hiking and camping. However, those are sold separately. Any company that manufactures and sells survival kits will automatically assume your going to be ruffing it.
Of course you could take the super tecno survival method.
Hey, check out MY survival kit!
Arrogant Noble siting on his yacht.
Any way, here are two of your basic modern day survival kits, with a few additions. This is also a sneak peak at my next toys post, your so privileged.
Deluxe Survival Kit (about the size of a serving platter)
Polished Stainless Steel Box/ Signal Mirror/ Cooking Pot/ Eating Plate/....Well, you get the idea.
Personal Locator Beacon
GPS (if that planet has a GPS sadilight)
Whistle
Flare Gun, with six flares
Flash Light
Tarp
Hypothermia Blanket
Blade
Hatchet
Wire Saw
Whetstone- fine grade
Flint Fire Starter
Waterproof Lighter
Tinder
Button Compass
Fishhooks
Synth Flesh Bandages
Antiseptic Swabs
Plastic Bag 24 x 18 inches
Sugar Packet
Salt and Peper Packets
Sewing Needle - heavy duty point
Nylon Thread
Nylon Mesh Drawstring Bag
Titanium Foil. (A more durable version of aluminum foil. This stuff can be used, and reused, for cooking and food storage.)
Web Coil
A modification to my Web line. This unit produces a thicker more durable strand. The webs from the original Web line launcher will become brittle and turn to dust about an hour after use. Webs produced from the coil will last as long as your typical nylon rope. Rope has unlimited uses, from constructing a shelter to setting snares and hanging your food out the local wildlife`s reach. In other words, you`er going to need a lot of it. The coil has enough web compound to produce thirty meters of line. Notes, the web is strong enough to be used as a bow string but it will only last for eight +1D6 shots. The coil can be adjusted to produce a finer line, better suited for fishing. The coil is equipped with a counter so you`ll know when your running out.
Water Purification Unit
A small metallic cylinder with a color changing indicator light on one end and all the purification stuff on the other. Dip the purifier end in a container of water. If the light end turns green then you don`t need to worry the water is perfectly safe. If it turns red then the water is contaminated and you need to set the purification process. The indicator light will turn blue when it`s working. If the light ever turns black then the water will probably kill you and it is beyond this units ability to clean. Note, be sure to get one that`s calibrated to you race. If you bought one from a K`Kree the light could be green but the water will have you in the fresher for the next two hours.
Viper Unit
Nicknamed after the venomous Terran snake, the Viper is a compact poison detection unit. With a small needle like probe it can tell you if an unknown plant or animal is safe to eat. Note`s, be sure to check the whole thing. Some plants have poisons leaves but the roots are safe to eat. Likewise some animals are delicious and nutritious but the liver will kill you. And once again be sure it`s calibrated to you races chemical make up. Oh! and make sure that the animal is Dead before you test it.

Excellent post. You may want to contact TJ about franchising your outfitters to run next door to his CJ stands, get you get up and go, and then GO!

I'd like to know what an exScout would use. This is a general purpose kit, for habitable planets (i.e. a breathable atmosphere, and climate from [oh] the edges of the Sahara to southern Alaska). Why not use the SAS three-tier backpack thing as a base?
Edit: Plus, what is a "general" survival kit? (No, I don't mean the kind that the rest stand up, salute and yell "Sir, yes SIR!" at...)
