Looks like a modified Frosts Mora sheath. Would be heavy on the belt though - trousers might fall down :D

True, but this guy says he carrys it round his back when fishing. It is a mora, its an old modified belt.

Good idea, now all that's needed is for somewhere to hang the crusader mug and then it will be a complete survival kit.
Seriously it's a good idea but I find with things that dangle of your knife just get in the road when you want to draw it, you would be better having a possibles pouch on your belt for your fire steel and torch.

you should give it a go wolf might be handy for your trip. I try and make them form the cans I find on my way home form work and with a bit off practice you can knock them out using only a swiss army knife/multi tool.

And your safe in the knowledge that if its too wet for a fire or you net to keep outta sight you can at least get a brew on.
