Survival Kit

[Vargr Breath]

From Dr. Strangelove

Major T. J. "King" Kong: Survival kit contents check. In them you'll find: one 45 caliber automatic, two boxes of ammunition, four days concentrated emergency rations, one drug issue containing antibiotics, morphine, vitamin pills, pep pills, sleeping pills, tranquilizer pills, one miniature combination Russian phrase book and Bible, one hundred dollars in rubles, one hundred in gold, nine packs of chewing gum, one issue of prophylactics, three lipsticks, three pairs of nylon stockings. Shoot! A fella could have a pretty good weekend in Vegas with all that stuff.

Yep, or a seedy day in Moscow.

Other than that, I like yer kits - the first as a wilderness kit, and the second as an urban kit. Wasn't Dr. Strangelove a novel?

Thanks for the links, both this and the other set.

Now I have more reason to get a job and money, to solve my solvency and lack of VCR problems.

Great Links. In addition, here an M6 survival kit http://www.oldjimbo.com/survival/v-shrake/m6.html

And for people who live in a state where it's legal, you can get the original M6 with 14 inch barrels http://www.smallarmsreview.com/may.htm
