[Outdoors-Magazine.com] All Kitted Out: "Modules is the best way to describe how my survival kits are constructed, each one is a self contained module that is complete enough to be used on its own or be used with another module, if the situation warrants it. There are five modules, taking me from the "everyday pocket kit", up to the "72 hour grab & go bag"."
