This Kit comes from Eric from the NYC; much of his kit reflects his adaptation to his urban environment.
"My kit is focused on a Urban/Suburban hybrid. Living in New York and having experienced 911 in a personal way I needed to have actionable items in the event of that type of scenario. I work in Manhattan but
live in a rural area of the Bronx. I also needed items to survive off the land if necessary."

Items in the Kit:
County Comm Improved Mine Probe Pouch (overstuffed to say the least!)

County Comm 4/18 inch pry tool
County Comm 6 3/8 mid breacher
Piranha Pocket tool
1 Photon Light with mini light stick
1 Shomer Tec hand cuff key
1 yellow kevlar rope
1 Derma knife
Botach Tactical pen
120 decibel noise maker (small black item with clip)
1 Tops whistle
County Comm ACU Camouflage pattern bandanna/handkerchief 21 x21 inches
(use as a head cover or tourniquet if necessary)
1 orange shelter
2 sets of gloves
1 N95 mask folded
1 set of military flat goggles
Earplugs ( in a small zip lock bag)
County Comm New Improved Micro Signal Mirror ( in a small zip lock bag)
3 portable towels (dunk in water to make a towel or use as a fuel for
a fire and in a small zip lock bag)
1 Snare ( in a small zip lock bag)
1 BCB Hand Line Marine Fishing Kit ( in humble opinion, the best)
1 USA Ruler (why? it fit)
1 Magnesium 4 inch steel from Firesteel.com ( in a small zip lock bag)
1 Deluxe Fire steel Tube Bunker w/ 18 feet of para-cord and built in
compass (This is simply the best! I have tried every kind of fire
starter in over 20 years and this one is above the rest. It is
expensive but will shower you with sparks to start a fire even in
rainy or cold conditions. Get it at Firesteel.com)
1 Tweezer ( in a small zip lock bag)
2 Hem con bandages for bad cuts
1 CVS Blood Stopper bandage
1 advanced healing bandage ( from CVS can be used for blisters)
1 assorted bandages with water purification in a 3mm ID holder
1 package of Benadryl
"Not pictured is a Malkoff MD2 American made flashlight with 450 lumen bulb. This is in my pocket not in the actual kit. It can blind a person at about 100 feet. Gene Malkoff is the best in my opinion. He puts the others to shame and is an American. I have four of his flashlights.
This set is by no means comprehensive and is a bit bulky. But it works for me. This kit could sustain me in the event of a social chaos or terrorist event. I generally carry a Goruck Gr-1 with about 20 pounds of gear. In New York, tactical bags are not noticed since people carry all types of bags.
By the way, I am not affiliated or am compensated by any of the above manufacturers. I am constantly buying and trying new products in the ever frivolous pursuit of perfection. I am interested in comments to make this better."
Congrats on the win Eric!
