CIA agents need to be prepared for everything, and sometimes that means surviving on limited resources. Their survival kit is tiny, but it includes everything needed to get out of town and live for a while.
The bag looks like a Maxpedition M-2 Waistpack. Here’s what’s inside:
- Leatherman Squirt PS4
- Slim Line Lock Pick 13
- Tension Wrench Short Twist Flex
- Omni-Glow Mini Type A Glow Sticks
- Suunto Clipper
- Photon X-Light Micro Light
There’s a bit more they would usually have not included in the photo, including a diamond wire to cut metal, lightweight fishing equipment and a ceramic blade.

I suppose the diamond wire would make a good garrotte, but I’d still like a wad of cash, a pistol (or taser), food, water, and a change of clothes.
You have just turned your survival “kit” into a survival “suitcase”.
I clicked on the ‘tension wrench’ because I had no idea what it did (tool for lockpicking apparently, so I learned something today). The Amazon.com page shows ‘items also viewed’ and of course the other things on the list are there. Tells me three things (that savvy Lifehacker fans already knew): advertising comes in many forms, it’s easy to make connections about people, and the CIA* wants to know what you are shopping for.
Evil week, eh?
*Could be a false flag operation, if my readings of Frederick Forsyth novels in the 1980s are anything to go by.
