For Fishers: A small fishing kit for a bug out bag?

I am putting together a 72hour kit and I want to put a fishing kit in itI want it to fit in a regular zip lock bagSo for someone who loves fishing, if you had to fish for the next 3 months with only what fits in a zip lock, what would to put in it(also, brand names for favorite spinners would be nice)Creek fishing is most likely.

Answer:

Neither of those temps are dangerousAnd you can give alternating tylenol and motrin so one is given every 3 hoursI would be concerned around 104+ but again, its about the over all patient, not just a numberThe real question is what is causing this, we are really out of flu season-did he test positive for flu? If so, high temps are common with the fluYOu would want to take someone to the ER for say signs of meningitis, regardless of tempAgain, its not just the number.
It's usually nicest to travel to the hospital when it's about 80 degrees Farenheit outside.
A fever of 106 would be worrisome102 or 104 is only worrisome in that you have to consider the possibility of a serious infectionIf he has the flu, and not pneumonia or meningitis, it really doesn't matter what his temperature is.
Well, a 72 hour kit should only have enough in it to last.72 hoursSo a few power bars, an MRE, etcNow, if you're wanting a full-tilt SHTF bag, or an INCH bag, then fishing tackle is where to goWhat I would do, is what I've already doneIt might or might not work for you, because I don't know what fish you have there, but it should workI have my fly rod strapped to the bag, and I keep a couple small fly boxesI also have a small box of assorted spoons (Kastmaster, Daredevle) and spinners (rooster tails, etc.) that I keep with itThe reason I suggest that, is flies are cheap (where I go they are $1/ea, or you can order them by the dozen online for as little as $0.30/ea), and in a single box that's no bigger than my iPhone, I can carry about 60-80 fliesCarry a couple spools of tippet which weigh nothing in stronger test, and you should be good to goPlus, I know ouncespounds, but when it comes right down to it, if you are trying to make a fire, even in SHTF, it's a lot easier to cut firewood with an axe/hatchet than with a kabar, just like it's far easier to catch a fish with an actual fishing rod and proper lures than with a stick and a worm on a hook The only other suggestion I would make, is to get a spool of high strength line like the others said to include, but I would probably get a couple tippet spools (they are only about 2 diameter instead of 5, and 1/3 thick instead of 1) and fill them with the lineTake up less space, and the line retaining design will save headachesLast, throw a few size 6-8 hooks in the box with your lures and you can dig up worms to fish with.
