What's in the Navy Seal Survival Kit?

The United States Navy's Sea, Air, Land Teams, commonly known as the Navy SEALs, are the U.S. Navy's principal special operations force and a part of the Naval Special Warfare Command and United States Special Operations Command. If anyone knows about Survival, it's these guys.

These are the teams that found Osama Bin Laden and have participated in almost every war the US has been a part of. These teams go in behind enemy lines to execute tactical missions and sometimes they are put into situations where survival is the top priority. When those situations arise, the SEALs reach for their Personnel Recovery and Survival Kits.

These kits come complete with all the items you see below packed into 4-by-2-by-1.2 inches hard case. The SEALs have been known to wreck things. Like multi-million dollar helicopters, tanks, planes and electronics so, the survival kits have to be able to endure "SEAL abuse".
