Requirement
4. Build TWO kits, first aid and survival, and show the items in use
Required Often forgotten
A personal first aid kit AND a personal survival kit, then show how items in the kits are used. Shown, not listed. The 2025 book asked for the survival kit alone.
Notes and warnings
Note. TWO kits, not one: a personal first aid kit and a personal survival kit. The 2025 book asked for the survival kit alone, so this is a part the printed book will under-prepare you for. And the requirement says show how the items are USED, which is a demonstration rather than a list.
