Emergency Kit

I bought a small emergency kit last week to keep in my hiking pack. The basic kit is the Personal Ten Essentials RT made by Adventure Medical Kits, which I got from Campmor. It's got a basic first aid kit, firestarter, space blanket, and whistle. I also got some iodine water treatment tablets to keep in there.

I bought two other things while I was at it. A cheap plastic poncho, which is sort of an emergency item, and a strap for my glasses, which will be useful for other activities like softball.

All that stuff is stored in a ziploc baggie in my pack, with several other gallon baggies and a trash bag to stow my pack in in a heavy downpour.
