As I was climbing in the back door of my car this morning so that I could get into the front seat and kick open the frozen front door, I started thinking about what might be good to keep in the glove compartment now that the cold weather has hit the Midwest. A flask of whiskey is the obvious choice. More practically speaking, this kit might be handy in a roadside emergency situation...

from the site:

According to the folks who build those awesome rovers that drive around on Mars, water is a pretty essential element for the existence of life. Liquid water is an especially important form necessary to support life, and fortunately for us, we have plenty of that here on Earth. Most other places in our solar system the water is all locked up as ice.

The Ultimate Survival Kit in a Water Bottle doesn't contain any liquid water (but of course you can easily add your own) but that doesn't mean it cannot help support life. What is does contain could help with your survival while you roam around the surface of our planet in search of outdoor adventures.

Comes packaged as a 32 oz (1 liter) water bottle containing the following supplies.


* 32 oz/1L water bottle
* Carabiner
* Multifunction tool
* Multifunction whistle/compass
* Flashlight
* Batteries (2 pcs)
* Survival blanket
* Hand warmer packet (2 pcs)
* Candle
* Box waterproof matches
* Emergency poncho
* 20pc First aid kit
* Reusable zipper-lock bag

I'm not sure I would bet my life on the contents of a water bottle. However, this is certainly, the most compact survival package I've seen. Probably better suited for that weekend camping trip you've got this weekend.

For those who believe the Apocalypse will happen in 2012!

This is a great little all in one kit and a great gift for an outdoor person. It's easy to throw in the car for just-in-case moments. (via Think Geek)
