Few things I didn't see: flashlight, lipstick (18650) charger/cable for smartphone, whistle, Gorilla tape.
I'm also into multi-tasking so, for example, instead of Vasoline cotton balls, I have thumb sized Vasoline tube (Lip Therapy) for Chapstick, skin moisturizer (diluted), anti-biotic ointment; and a bullet sized tampon (OB brand) to make bandaids (with Gorilla tape). The space blanket comes in handy as an emergency down vest and rain poncho. If I'm out for full day, I often take my UL kitchen for a freeze-dried lunch, and afternoon tea... it's only ~8oz tiny.
Great Reppans. I try to carry as minimal as possible. If I am bike camping, I have the equipment for camping. But if its for a normal day ride, the simple kit I mentioned is good enough for me. Survival kits are personal and vary in needs.
In the rainforest, bamboos are abundant and we use them for cooking utensils.
I also carry a first aid kit.
The simple survival kit I mentioned are only for day rides.
Great sharing.
