I have been using this chest pack for a year now, and I am very pleased with it. It is made from 500d Cordura, and the back is covered with 3d mesh.
Here is the list of items that I carry in my chest pack.
On the outside, I have a pair of gloves, a whistle, a firesteel striker/bottle opener, a Kleen canteen single walled water bottle, in which I have dehydrated towels for washing and cleaning, instant coffee packets and a tube which holds my medications and has Gorilla tape around the outside. The kleenex canteen allows me to boil water on a fire.
This is the main compartment in the pack.
In the bottom, I have a small neck-knife and a folding saw. In one side of the compartment, I have a sharpening kit, a titanium spoon, a signal mirror, a Victorinox credit card multitool, a magnifying glass, a pair of reading glasses, some basic first aid items and a collapsible mug.
On the other side, I have a 1 litre collapsible water bottle, my asthma inhaler, a lighter and a leatherman wave multitool with a firesteel attached.
This is the second compartment.
This holds a dry bag and some cord.
Plus fishing equipment.
For me, the pack isn't a survival pack. It is a pack that contains the items I use on a regular basis and now have readily to hand. If I am hiking, having the pack with me reduces the weight considerably in my rucksack.
