The chunks of broken spark plug ceramic is something I definitely want to incorporate to bust out a window in an active shooter or fire situation. Be it in a tiny kit like that or inside a bison (or medicine pill travel) tube attached to my keys + my kids key sets. Seeing as those situations are a semi-regular thing here in the U.S., the ceramic piece is something you can chuck at a fixed window or locked glass door to leave a building from a more safe position than being up close with a makeshift bar or chair or whatever. The building I work in daily has a lobby that, to me, is a trap zone. There are 'exit' points through (locked) offices on the right and left, a double glass door/vestibule that leads outdoors, but one that also dumps out into a clear line of sight. At the back are a handful floor-to-ceiling glass windows. Those back windows are my best bet in a fire and such. With our offices being partly below grade, we only have 3 windows which are the block type & a 2nd glass employee entrance door. All are far away from my personal office area. The lobby is my best bet for a quick, complete egress. If you're in certain bigger buildings regularly where those bigger fixed glass windows are a design feature and your exit points are either down a long hall or far off corner stairwell area, the ceramic chunks may get you a fast(er) exit.
I’ve seen a million of these Altoids kits videos. I can’t get enough. This one has a lot of things I haven’t seen before. Good job!
Thanx I wanted to use things that you could find at pretty much any local store. And keep the price of the kit low.
👍 great kit.
One of the best and most creative kits I've seen.
Very cool

Your "urban kit" sure has a lot of fishing gear in it!!!
And not much of anything else useful.
great kit!
Better title: "How to make a survival kit out of the contents of a kitchen junk drawer."
👍
What is an "STH situation"?
😉😂🤔
I don't see how any of that is supposed to help anyone survive in any urban area. This is idiotic
