ODA 226's Wilderness Ditch Kit

[ODA 226]

This is my entry to the Zombie Squad Magazine Pouch Survival Kit Competition. I used an ATS Canteen Carrier as the base for my kit. Trying to keep true to the competition, I kept almost everything inside the Canteen Carrier with the exception of things I feel are tactically necessary to carry on the outside such as a red-lens light, a military lensatic compass, a signal whistle, a homemade rock sling and 50’ of braided 550 cord that is used as a sling to carry the kit.
Here is a video of the concept:

The inner carrier is a Coleman Thermos Bottle that is fit inside of a Coleman 16 ounce pot:

As I stated in the video, I always pack for operation redundancy. For example, in this kit I have 5 different methods to make fire, 5 ways to signal, 2 ways to carry water, 2 ways to make traps etc AND can defend myself with a firearm against two-legged attack if necessary! I additionally have the means to VERY QUICKLY use what is in my kit to catch or kill bigger and better food.

I hope ya’ll like my concept and hope to hear feedback soon!

Like I said before, since Paragon believes in shameless self-promotion and since we are running neck and neck in this contest, I must respond in kind. While Paragon is a master of Internet-Posting-Foo, I am relatively new to this. I think that my entry will stand on it's own merits. So please watch my videos to the end and vote for me on or before March 26th! Thanks for your support! Craig

I really like all those red "x"'s -- where'd you buy those?

Jim

Good luck Craig, it's been fun competing with you and everyone else.

Like I said Jim, you have all the Internet-Posting-Picture-Foo and in this realm, I am an IDIOT!!!!! LOL!

PS: Be a bud and explain to me how you can post pics so easily and I can't get squat to post from Photobucket!

Sluts!
The both of you! Shamelessly whoring out your kits like this...

I love it!

Thanks!

ODA, the .25 pistol is a serious issue for me. Make it a .22 LR or .22 WMR and you might have a decent kit.

My .380 or my Springfield .45 ACP Micro Compact is too big to fit. A 9 shot 25 ACP is more than enough to signal with, enough for small game and is enough to pursuade any two-legged predators to leave me alone. I had to stick within the contest parameters.

And please take into consideration that Paragon's kit has NO FIREARM!

Seriously though your entry shared quite a few new "why didn't I think of that" type ideas that I love. My BOB has sardines in it now. I'll have to test that out here soon when my fishing liscense gets renewed. And oddly enough I've also had that same whistle/thermometer/compass/lens and a microlight hanging off my bag since I was a wee cub scout.

He does have a point here. Yea could have worked in a .22LR with .25 backup.

And a Stella you shall receive! I bought that canteen carrier at the ATS store at Ft. Campbell, KY. last month. You might want to check their website.

All in good fun my friend!
This has definately been an interesting topic!
When I get my new GHB sorted I will need to do a review.
It will be about 3 times this size but will include a take-down 22, quality tarp and much more!
