The inexperienced traveller may now feel the need to have ALL of these items to feel adequately prepared - WRONG! I do consider a cell phone essential, and since it has the time I stopped wearing watches years ago. I'm sure I'll survive without an altimeter/thermoneter/timer/compass. The waterproof case could be replaced by cheap ziplock bags. All the survival tools, knives, whistles, and waterproof matches will take up space and probably never, ever be used - although I'm sure "Lost" or "Castaway" devotees will have to have them! The packing advise I use: Think ahead, then pack light and take only what you REALLY need, leaving plenty of empty space for shopping purchases.

That is so 70's. One should look at the multi-tools from Gerber and Leatherman and others. Much more useful. Swiss Army Knife? That is so 70’s.
