Because we do not engage in the same outdoor activities, a one-size-fits kit is not practical. Items in your kit are linked to the activity that you engage in. If you decide that you prefer to buy a ready-made kit from a local retailer or online store, there is a good chance of removing or replacing some of the kit components to better suit your needs.
