Astra, please remember that for some folks in some areas, all that they need for an emergency kit is a credit card, coins for the telephone (and phone numbers for emergency services,) and a pocket first-aid kit. Survival is more a
state of mind rather than a bunch of equipment. The gear helps but it's the mental attitude that keeps you alive.
Every locale has different requirements. Every lifestyle presents different types of emergencies. Your lifestyle probably never required you to carry an attache case (for shark protection) when scuba diving. The sharks think we're lawyers and leave us alone out of professional courtesy.
