Here's an excellent book on how to build survival kits. It's titled "Build the Perfect Survival Kit" and written by John McCann

I bought this book about a month ago and I highly recommend it. It's focused solely on how to put together survival kits - including actual products that are used - and several example kits of various sizes. I've been meaning to get some kind of survival kit for some time, which I've been putting off for years. After reading this book, it not only motivated me to finally get a survival kit, but it gave me the confidence to put together my own kit instead of buying a commercial one. Also, it ultimately led me to this forum group.

I'm sure John will appreciate the referral. He is a registered user here in the site(see the link below) but I haven't seen him around here lately.
