Now that we've designed our own Light and Lean Complete 5-Day Survival Pack , it's time for you to design yours! This pack has all the functionality of the original, but allows you to tweak it to fit your own needs!

No matter what configuration you pick, this pack has been specifically designed to provide superior survival and first aid items that are 1) high-quality, 2) affordably priced, and 3) compact and lightweight. Make sure that you have a SURVIVAL KIT instead of a SECURITY BLANKET!

Note: Most products have a link to a page dedicated to that product. We strongly suggest that you look at each item individually and watch any associated videos to get all the information necessary to make an informed decision.

This pack comes with the contents of our standard F.A.T. (First Aid & Trauma) kit and also includes:

• a Compact Assault Bag from Condor Outdoor: military-style MOLLE (“Molly”; MOdular Lightweight Load-bearing Equipment) backpack w/ hydration bladder pouch  - made of sturdy cordura construction, and with 1362 cu. in. of interior space, there's plenty of room to hold any extra gear you want to bring along! (Main Compartment: 18"x10"x5", Middle Compartment: 15"x8"x2", Front Top: 4"x7"x2.5", Front Bottom: 10"x8"x2.5"; also has interior pockets for organization)

• a five day supply of LifeCaps – a survival pill that gives your body all the vitamins it needs to more easily process your own body fat; allows you to keep a clear head while you take the time to locate water, set up a good shelter and fire, and then work on gathering food
  
• a hard anondized aluminum Space Saver Mug – superlight and large enough to pack other gear in, so it takes up virtually no extra room, but provides you with a durable container to cook and/or boil water in
  
• a Pocket Chainsaw – can cut through a 3” branch in less than 10 seconds and won’t break like a cheap wire saw
• a Gerber Diamond Knife Sharpener for your knives, saw and fish hooks
• 50 feet of paracord – rig a shelter, string up a bear bag, fashion a stretcher…the possibilities are endless!
• Your choice of Hydration Options:
  • a 2.5 liter water bladder w/ and a Seychelle In Line Hydration Bladder Filter - just scoop the water into the water bladder and filter as you sip!
  • a 2.5 liter water bladder w/ Katadyn MP1 Micropur water tabs (30 pack) and a Seychell Pure Water Straw Filter – use the straw for sipping whenever the opportunity arises, and use the MicroPur tablets to purify any water you want to carry with you!
  • a Klean Kanteen steel water bottle w/ Katadyn MP1 Micropur water tabs (30 pack) and a Seychelle Pure Water filter straw – same purification options as above, but in a BPA free, non-leaching, food grade stainless steel bottle!
  • a Seychelle 28 oz Flip Top Bottle (BPA free) – purify any water you want to carry with you in your BPA free, non-leaching bottle!
    
• Your choice of Light Duty Survival Knives:
  • a Mora Classic #1 - a survivalist favorite, simple and effective.
  • a Mora Companion MG - same Scandi grind, new grippy handle!
  • a Mora 2080 Bushcraft Triflex - differentially heat-treated to give the cutting and edge retention of a high carbon blade with the durability of stainless steel.
    
  • a Cold Steel Finn Bear - a versatile knife that can be used for just about any camp chore!
  • a Cold Steel Mini Tac Beaver Tail - a sharp and functional neck knife; low on bulk, high on performance
    
  • a Gerber Octane - a lightweight and functional multitool, it's trimmed down to the essentials! Great option for either wilderness or urban survival!
  • and last, the option to use a utilitarian knife you've already got! Or, if you don't have one yet, take a look at our other Knives and pick one you like better!
• Your choice of Heavy Duty Survival Knives:
  • a Cold Steel Kukri Machete - a brush clearing machine, this option is for those who expect to lay out some powerful strokes!
    
  • a Cold Steel Bushman – a well made knife with a hollow handle for storage, choose from either Standard or Bowie style
    
  • a Cold Steel Outdoorsman Lite - a well rounded outdoor blade that features a fine cutting edge on one side and a durable "bone breaker" on the other
    
  • a Cold Steel SRK in San Mai III - the spendiest option, but worth it to those who want a versatile, but tough knife that just won't quit!
    
  • and last, the option to use a heavy duty knife you've already got! Or, if you don't have one yet, take a look at our other Knives and pick one you like better!
• In addition to true stormproof matches and WetFire Tinder, your choice of:
  • a Light My Fire mini firesteel - good for over 1,000 strikes
  • a Light My Fire Army Firesteel - capable of over 12,000 strikes!
    
  • a Sparkie from Ultimate Survival Technologies - maximize your firestarting efforts by literally showering your tinder in sparks!
  • a BlastMatch, also from UST - the Sparkie's big brother!
    
• Your choice of Shelter Options:
• a S.O.L. Escape Bivvy – way better than a mylar “space blanket”, this is an actual bag that won’t fly off in the wind, won’t easily tear into shreds, won’t keep you up all night with crinkly noises, won’t build up moisture, and weighs in at a miserly 8.5 ounces!
• a Blizzard Survival Sleeping Bag - incredibly compact, but incredibly effective at maintaining your body temperature, even at sub-freezing temperatures!
• your choice of illumination:
• a Princeton Tec Fuel headlamp – not only a long lasting light source, but on strobe mode (up to 96 hours burn time!) it can be a night-time signal for Search and Rescue teams that doesn’t require your active efforts. Just place it in a spot visible from the air and go to sleep; you could be rescued before morning!
• an EcoCharge Solar Pull Flashlight - a simple LED flashlight that can recharge via the solar panel in the handle or by using a pull-string dynamo, so you never have to worry about running out of batteries! Even better, the rechargeable Li-Ion battery can be taken out and replaced, so you don't have to throw the whole flashlight away when the battery eventually stops taking a charge.
• Finally, you have the option of rounding out your shelter options by adding some rain gear:
• a GI Style Rip-Stop Nylon Poncho - much more durable than a cheap plastic poncho and the corners have metal grommets so you can use it for a leanto in a pinch
• a Hooded All Weather Blanket - another reflective item, but built as sturdy as a tarp and easy to use as an extra layer to keep off moisture!
• a Blizzard Survival Jacket - same lifesaving technology as the Blizzard Survival Sleeping Bag, but in a mobile form.
  

Depending upon the combination chosen, you could save about 25%-30% off of the MSRP and about 15%-20% off of sale prices that I’ve personally found on competitor’s websites (taking into account the inflated shipping and “handling” that they’ll charge you to make up for some unrealistically low prices). All in all, I can't imagine you finding as good or better a price for as good or better equipment!
