What’s in Val Kilmer’s ‘Go Bag’?

I was just reading what Adam Savage (of “Mythbusters” fame) had asked on Ask MetaFilter, and encountered this question about one of my favourite movies that hardly anybody has seen:

In the great movie Spartan (insert difference of opinion here) Val Kilmer plays a kind of special forces agent, with small bag he refers to (in the excellent commentary) as a “Go Bag” and says that it contains everything tha a real special forces dude would have in such a bag. Can anyone enlighten me what would be in there?

I must rent it again and listen to the commentary. Apparently the go bag or “bugout bag” is everything “you need to be able to survive for 24/48/72 hours”. Here’s one example from a gun collector’s forum.

Mamet + espionage (sorta) = me seeing it twice.

As a Kilmer fan, I haven’t seen that one. I’ll check it out.

Have you seen Salton Sea with Kilmer?
Loved it. Not many people have seen that one. He also gave a killer performance in Kiss Kiss Bang Bang.
