800 Calorie Survival vest

There's a saying when it comes to airplane crashes - what's on you is survival gear, what's in the plane is camping gear. So we each have a fly-fishing vest that we put on when flying over remote terrain. 

Since I know you're curious, here's my survival vest with all its contents splayed out. 

 

It all packs up like this...

 Back pocket:  folding cup, ziplock bags (2lg., 2sm.)

Inside left pocket:  PLB  (personal locator beacon)

Inside right pocket:  leatherman tool

Outside right top pockets: stormproof matches, firestarter (compressed trioxane fuel), bic lighter, sharpie pen, gel shot (Cliff, apple pie flavored, 100 calories)

Outside right bottom small pockets: cloth tape, duct tape, matches, gel shots (Power Bar vanilla, Cliff mango, 200 calories)

Outside right bottom large pocket: emergency bivvy sack, emergency bodywarmers (like handwarmers, only bigger), gel shot (Power Bar caramel, 100 calories)

Outside left top pockets: whistle, mini LED light, compass, mini deck of cards, gel shots (Power Bar caramel, Cliff mango, 200 calories)

Outside left bottom small pockets:  band-aids, neosporin, claritin, SPF 15 lip balm, string, gel shots (Power Bar caramel, Cliff apple pie, 200 calories)

Outside left bottom large pocket: burn gel, sting relief gel, antiseptic wipes, pocket survival pack (includes: magnifying lens, signal mirror, firestarter, fishing kit, needle & thread, scalpel blade, aluminum foil, wire, safety pins, and a tiny pencil and paper)
