Looking for advise on putting together a little survival pack for my 8 year old. What are the main can't do without things to put in it. I don't want to overload it because I know if it's too heavy and uncomfortable he won't carry it. Below are some things that I'm thinking about. What else do I need?
55 gal heavy duty bright orange trash bag
Bright orange bandana
Altoids fire starter kit with firesteel, fire starter straws, lighter
Knife-he has various Moras, Helle Odel, Opinel folder, and SAK that I can add and will probably have on in his pocket or on his belt.
Emergency whistle
Flashlight
Some high energy food
Small first aid kit
What's it missing? Remember this is for a kid and although I want it complete, I also want it light and optimized.
