In the reading glasses section of pharmacy in Wal-mart you will find a flat freznel magnifying lens for a couple of bucks. Rides in the wallet very well. P-38 can opener can go in there too. I carry mine in a plastic coin purse because of the sharp edge on mine. The Boy Scout Hot Sparky $2.50 is a small key chain sized ferocerium rod similar to the hunters match. I carry one all the time. Other wise when going camping use the $3 magnesium block from Harbour Freight. I also got a free led flashlight using the sunday coupon from Harbour Freight. Light weight, small and comes with the batteries. This goes under the wallet in the front pocket. Bandana goes in the back pocket, 55 gallon contractor trash bag goes in the other back pocket, some Wal-mart plastic sack along with that. Cigaret lighter and pocket knife in the front pockets. In the shirt pocket goes a fishing set made of a rectangular piece of card board with a notch cut out on both the longer sides so it resembles a capital I. Wind 30 feet of fishing line to this after first tying one end through a hole. A foot from the end place a packing peanut or foam ear plug. I poked a hole in the ear plug with a nail. It expands around the line and stays in place. 6 inches from the end crimp on a split shot weight. Tie on a very small hook to the end and push the barb into the edge of the cardboard so you don't get stuck with it. 12 inches of aluminum foil folded flat fit nicely was well. A bundle of Jute twine serves as tinder and cordage. This rides under the bandana.Watch on one arm. Compass on the other. Cell phone on the belt.

You now have 3 forms of fire, water purification, shelter, food, navigation and communication.

Whistle: Harbour Freight in their safety section sells a single tone aircraft aluminum whistle with a split ring attached for 99 cents. Remove the large split ring and and twist device that it comes with and just use the smaller split ring. This I have on the key ring. Nice loud tone.

Pocket Mirror: My insurance company gave out a free light weight pocket mirror in a plastic case. Very handy for signaling air craft, looking for ticks in the down unders, checking the eyes when dust blows in and checking your appearance if you have any hair left to comb. The longest rescue on record was 110 miles when the lost sole flashed a mirror on an commercial airliner. They radioed for a float plane to investigate he was rescued.

Now you have Signalling covered
