I take this with me on solo overnighters. Loads of great stuff included in this kit and the waterproof feature is clutch. Things not included that I carry along are a scalpal, needle & thread for sutures, a mirror (those four included in the AM Pocket Survival Pak), extra moleskin, Bactine spray, rubbing alcohol in a 30mL Nalgene dispenser, and a few painkillers (for serious emergencies only) if I have some laying around.
