DIY Survival Gear - Building a Survival Kit - Part Three

In Building a Survival Kit - Part Two, signal devices in the form of a camp mirror and a whistle were added to the survival gear in our survival kit. In Part Three, we will add several more gear items to our survival kit. The goal is to build a quality survival kit that will be easy to use by any member of your family.
The third item that will be added to our survival kit is a small LED flashlight (a flat one of course). This will give you a source of light in an emergency to keep you from stumbling around in the dark. This LED flashlight can also be used as a means to signal for help at night. This gear item adds $1.00 to the cost and an additional ounce of weight to our survival kit.
The fourth item that will be added to our survival kit is a small sewing kit. Once again, we have another ?flat? addition to our survival kit. This gear item just adds some additional versatility to our survival kit. This adds $1.00 to the cost and an additional ounce of weight to our survival kit.

The fifth item that will be added to our survival kit is cordage in the form of bootlaces. A pair of 72 inch bootlaces will provide 12 feet of strong cordage and serve as a reminder that boot and shoe laces are a good source of emergency cordage. Paracord is not always available at the big box stores but you can always find a set of bootlaces in the shoe department. This adds $1.00 to the cost and an additional ounce of weight to our survival kit. Here is a current summary of the contents of our survival kit: Gear Item????????????????????????????????????
