So, here's our current take on it... We each have one, with the exact same core contents - and packed exactly the same, so you just grab one, and go...
There are still bits that are yet to come, like MRE's (arriving 23rd Jan ;) - and if you ever need them - adventuremenu.cz), copies of passports and visas, and scans of all documentation on a mini-DVD, etc... and there are items which I won't be showing here for... well... various reasons ;)
Let's go clockwise:
The bag itself. On it, two packages of tissues.
Right:
Anti-bacterial wipes and gel.
Multi tool, large, with knife.
LED Flashlight
Compass
Fire Starter
CS gas
Spice mix (this is my individual addition, I can't run away without salt, pepper, paprika and curry!)
Saw
Center bottom:
Binoculars
Knife/Fork/Spoon
First aid kit for anything up to a medium-sized wound, basic pills (aspirin, "real" painkillers, water purification, stomach pains, antibiotics, diarrhea..., with 2 condoms for emergency water storage (thank you US Army for that hint)
Head-mounted light with 3 modes (dim, full brightness, red)
Plastic binders
Center top:
6 cereal bars
Small PMR radio (3-5km range), with built-in flashlight
Dextrose tablets
1 red, 1 white Chem-light
Nasal spray and eye drops (remember, we're going to the desert..)
Left:
High-visibility band
Small multi-tool
Hand-powered flashlight
A compass/whistle/thermometer/magnifying glass combo
Tape
Just so we're clear: this is the bear, sorry, bare necessities - ideally, one would also grab a satphone, the UHF/VHF radio and a few other.... choice items :)
In case you're feeling like reading up on this, here's a good link to start with:
US Military Survival Manual (.pdf)
And the link to the 1992 version, which I personally find better.
