It's an Izzy compression bandage, NA TQ and a roll of stabilization wrap. Gloves and scissors. Should work for anything big and gashed. |

Really nice setup, GBM. Similar items to my GHB. A few thoughts: 1. Are those teabags, or instant coffee bags? Tea bags = limey sissy, coffee = big strong 'murican. Just saying... 2. I added a small radio to my GHB, linky : www.amazon.com/Grundig-Traveler-Digital-Shortwave-Storage/dp/B001QTXKF6My thinking is that if I end up stranded or on foot for some reason, having an information source = a good thing. The one I have picks up shortwave, AM/FM, and has a weather radio function. 3. Compass? I didn't see one, but might have overlooked. Also, road maps of areas you might find yourself in? |

There is a small compass in the mints tin that I failed to take a pic of.
I do need a radio.
And yes, those are tea bags. I'll get around to getting some insta' coffee.

BUT! as to your radio concerns, don't forget that a lot of cell phones have FM/AM reception, or at least a lot of them did. My Blackberry has a FM radio in it that actually has good reception - it uses the earbud wiring as an antenna. Kinda cool, actually. If you don't have a phone old enough cool like that, this Sony AM/FM pocket radio is pretty nice, it runs forever on 2 AA batteries. I already have one in my GHB, and I am about to order a few more. Want me to get an extra one for you? |

While I agree, and like no's 2 and 3 - I would argue that tea has it's place: 1) To remind us exactly what we fought for when we threw it in the harbor 2) When the world goes to shit, it's the small things that keep us refined and reserved 3) Cold/Sun tea? Solid. Cold instant coffee? Gonk. So - as 'murican as I am, I still see the benefit of some tea in the bag. Yeah I went there. |

I like ice tea, sweet tea is Southern as a MF'er and so by default ... 'Merica
Just gotta remember not to put so much sugar in it where it's practically D50.

The tea is staying, I'll just get coffee too. I like tea and if you're cold it warms your core. It's good if you want to sleep. Takes the crappy taste out of filtered water.
And how am I going to stare the Brits in the eye as I pour in out without tea? They'd miss the joke if it were coffee.
