(RSSK) components common to all three kits (overwater, cold climate
and hot climate).

items 12, 1 and 2)
The water bag is a soft pliable, plastic bag which may be used for
storing water accumulated from rainfall or some-other water source
Do not store water in the water bag in below freezing
temperatures. When exposed to cold temperature, the
water bag will become hard and rigid. Exercise care
when removing the bag from the survival kit and do not
attempt to unfold the bag until it has been warmed,
which may be accomplished by placing the bag next to
your body.
