I recently completed a wilderness survival course and one of the things I concluded was that having a set of thin nomes flight gloves around went a long way to taking the sting off manipulating the coals of a dying fire or any other fine manipulations I had to do. I wore them almost the entire course, slipping them in and out of my cold weather mitts and keeping them handy between my sleeping bag pieces while managing the fire.
Looking back it was one of my most use pieces of kit. Just an everyday surplus set of nomex gloves. I'm wondering with all the experience on the board:
A) what is your number one must have for a survival scenario.
B) can you think of a downside to my flight gloves and being used almost as second skin the whole course? I just found and infinite amount of uses for them. My hands were always good- my cold weather mitts for the coldest periods, a mid range glove for chopping wood, and the nomad gloves as a second skin for everything else.
