Survival! [UPDATED!]

So... I'm going to Tarantino it a bit here with this post.  I have an entry planned for the future regarding motorcycle camping... But the last few days, I've been really entrenched in survival planning.

I really just wanted to use the word "entrenched"... like an entrenching tool?  Survival?  Get it?!

But seriously... I've spent the better part of two days researching and planning a survival kit for camping trips.  I've compiled a list of things I think would go well in this kit, and I'd like to share it with you.

• The Bag
• A critical element.  All this shit's gotta go somewhere right?!  I've seen these at a local military surplus store and I really like them.  There's a lot of space, without the bag being bulky.  It's expandable, should you need even more room.  The MOLLE rings on the front are also useful for adding accessories you might need quick access to.  Plus it has a hydration bladder and hose - so, in a survival situation, you won't have to worry about what you're going to put your water in!  Although, I will say, those bladders are often difficult to get water out of when you need it for cooking, etc.
• Water purification tablets
• What good is carrying around 2 1/2 liters of water if none of it is potable.  Drinking contaminated water or water with bacteria or other nasty stuff in it can be just as bad as or worse than dehydration.  This will keep you safe.  Well... safer, anyway.
• Waterproof matches/case, fire steel, Fresnal lens
• All very useful when it comes to starting a fire.  Which is a lot harder than it sounds without some aid.  Have you ever tried starting a fire using a bow drill or just rubbing sticks together?  I have.  It sucks.  It may seem like overkill to have three fire starting options, but they all take up next to no space and you'll be glad to have choices.  Also, along with these items should be some time of good ignitable material.  Examples would be cotton balls soaked in (melted) vaseline (stored in a film canister or prescription bottle), dryer lint, or char cloth.
• Chem lights, flagging tape, Signal mirror, LED flashlight, brightly colored bandanas
• I specify LED because they're usually intensely bright and the batteries last nearly forever.  All of these are excellent for signaling for help, marking your path, and finding your way.  Also bandanas can be useful for applications involving this next thing...
• First Aid kit
• This is kind of a kit within a kit (kitception!), and may be used in more than just "survival" scenarios.  Still, it's a good idea to keep it in/with the survival bag (perhaps hooked on the MOLLE rings?) so that it all rolls out together.  The contents of a good first aid kit are pretty standard and not the subject of this entry.  Bandanas, as mentioned above, can be super useful for drying/cleaning/dressing wounds, tying splints, etc.
• 550 para cord, fishing line, snare/trip wire, knot reference card, duct tape
• As a Boy Scout, I used to know a lot of knots.  I don't anymore.  A reference card is a really nice thing to have, because the knot you use really can make a huge difference.  550 cord is AWESOME, if you're not familiar.  It's parachute cord, so named because it can hold 550 pounds.  You see bracelets made out of it frequently, which is a great way to carry between 8-10 feet it around with you anywhere.  Old Vietnam-era trip wire can be picked up at any military surplus store and makes great snare wire for setting traps or... whatever you might need it for.  Likewise with fishing line - that's definitely not the only useful thing it's good for.  Duct tape needs no explanation.
• "Space blanket"
• Something of this sort might be included in the first aid kit, but I feel it's worth its own bullet point.  These things are lifesavers when it gets cold.  Definitely worth investing in one (or a couple!) of the better quality ones for a survival kit.  Their bright orange outside can also be useful in signaling ground-to-air.  The specific one I linked to there is actually a full body bivvy with sealed seams.  This helps keep even more heat in.
• Knife
• A good blade goes a long way.  Typically, when camping, you'd have at least one cutting utensil with you, but it's never a bad thing to have a backup.  And a backup for your backup.  These are the ones I think I'd like to have, but that's just me.
• A couple lawn garbage bags, poncho(s)
• You never know when a big piece of fairly sturdy plastic might come in handy.  They roll up small and can be used for a lot of things, not the least of which is keeping you dry!

[Edit] I can't believe you guys let me forget one of the staple survival tools!  A compass!  More often than not, you're going to at least have a rough idea of where you're trying to get to from where you expect you are.  For example, "I know we came off east of the road and it runs north and south... so all we have to do is head west to hit the road."  But if you don't know which way west is... You're hosed.  Also, if you're going to pack a compass, make sure you know how to use it.  It sounds obvious... You'd be surprised.

So there's kind of a layout of my plan.

I'm curious though - what do you guys think?  Did I make any glaring oversights or miss any really obvious necessities?  Do you have any thoughts or suggestions?  What could I do to make it even better?

Obviously, there are a lot of scenarios where a survival kit could come into play, but I would like to keep any discussion geared toward the intended use of this kit - that is, riding the motorcycle out to state/national parks and camping.

What are your thoughts?
