It's pretty slow around Indiana in the winter, so I decided to revise my hone pocket survival kit to make it a little more versatile. Again, the idea was to turn the sheath's hone pocket into a small, but effective, survival kit. The pocket now contains basic items for fire-starting, fishing/gigging, and navigation. Kit includes a firesteel, fatwood, arrowhead/striker, 7' of 100lb. micro cord, Royal Coachman fly, and compass (period correct, of course grin). All items are waterproof.

You have put a great package together. I think you have got the bases covered.

I must confess, I don't venture that far into the woods anymore. If I am outside of cellular coverage, I am in the boondocks!!!

Thanks James and Rod. It's fun to see how creative you can be with getting the most out of a small space.

Thanks, but I was going for more than just "looking pretty cool". frown Hopefully, I'll never need it, but if lost and all I had was this knife, I'd rather have these few items than a sharpening stone.

The fly has a split ring to accept the thicker cord. The fish around here will bite on anything. Bluegill and crappie love this pattern. 100lb cord is multi-use for fishing, constructing a gig with the arrowhead, or general use.
