Great tips. A couple thoughts on the fire kit: I carry a couple of those "trick" birthday candles that don't go out when you blow on them and a few regular birthday candles that I'm willing to sacrifice if I'm trying to get a fire in wet conditions. They take up very little space in my fire kit and they give me peace of mind knowing I have one more tool as a backup. It doesn't hurt to have a couple lighters scattered throughout your gear. One in your pocket, one in your fire kit and another one in your cook set. Just my two cents worth.
#1 is a firearm with a shit load of ammo. I will come and take your shit because you didn't have firearm on your list. But I will leave you the first aid kit for your leg after I shoot you.

The birthday candles are a great trick!
I agree 100% about having lighters throughout your kit.
Thanks for adding to the discussion!
