a fire extinguisher???? most important piece of kit...the 4 1/2 ton truck to carry it all
no harm intended but as its a yank site im surprised they didnt include m16's and anti anthrax vaccines
what one earth would you need to survive for just three days (obveously deppends were you are) you could survive by chewing mud and sitting still for three days, not having a dig at the yanks but there websites or survivaists do bring to mind the words panic and paranoid,and overestimate the threat

Oh come on now
Sure sounded like a dig to me. I've been out in the woods with some of you GB folks too.
Hey, behave yourselves and stop calling our friends 'YANKS' it's derogatory and offends me, and I'm British. Lets be nice and not generalise about people. We have our fair share of 'Rambo's too in this country.
Ok folks, can we take things in context. You will notice that there are things like "fire extinguisher" and "tube for syphoning gasoline".
This survival kit is vehicle based so laughing about the vehicle that you require to carry it is pretty pointless as it will be in the vehicle anyway.
It is not paranoia to carry a kit like this, I have travelled in Kuwait and Namibia with kits that are not dissimilair to this.
The year before last travelling upto the Wilderness Gathering Neil1 and I witnessed a car with an engine fire, a fire extinguisher is (or should be) part of your breakdown kit and hat is not even anywhere really hot.
A gallon of water a day per person is not a lot, yes you can get by on a lot less, but there are plenty of studies (yes carried out on athletes) that show that physical performance is greatly reduced as people dehydrate. I have also seen people collapse in the UK due to dehydration.
Remember that not all the liquid that you carry is going to be carried for drinking, some may be for hygiene reasons (food and bodilly).
My doctor was telling me that I should drink 2 litres of water a day at least. 2L = 2 x 1.76 = 3.52 pints, that leaves a further 2.5 litres or so.
In the UK we probably won't need all that kit, but there is nothing to state that this kit is for use specifically in the UK either
