ASSEMBLE YOUR OWN PACKABLE FISHING KIT FOR EMERGENCIES OR WHEN TRAVELING LIGHT I like to choose each outdoor gear component that I’m going to include in my survival kits, hiking daypacks and camping bins. I’ve always found ready-made, all-inclusive kits lacking in one way or another, usually to keep their prices down. By selecting each piece of gear individually, I’m ensuring that I get exactly what I want according to my specific needs. And those choices are normally based on personal experience using those items. I want to be confident they’ll perform dependably when needed. The same goes for my fishing kits, which are one of the things I pack along with other essentials.
