    Thanks for upgrading my little tin box. While on a bicycle ride in Istanbul. My rented bike's fender lost a screw. We did not have a screw, but we had Kevlar string, the small pocket knife, and towelettes. We quickly made repairs and continued our ride.
    Tin was small enough that it easily fit in my pocket.
    Thanks again.

    Very neat and compact kit that has a few useful items. Then it comes to the matches, I've personally opted for a lighter, although I'm not a smoker either. I do however keep it in my pockets, and gives me more uses than matches would, especially when considering that a match is wasted when blown out by the wind, but then again my scenario for EDC pretty much counts as an "outdoors" type kit as I'm on the road more often than not. Either way, your kit is well thought out in my opinion, and you've adapted it for your daily use, which not a lot of people realize when putting a kit together, well done

Everyone is different and should not copy another's kit, but tailor their own kit to what their everyday needs are.

    Nice kit, Take a look at mini clipper lighter (made in Spain) Unlike mini bic it is refillable and reflintable and you can carry just flint-wheel part to produce sparks and start a fire (works well with cotton balls or toilet paper)

      ​@@FittoSurvive In case you'll have a clipper review some key points to discuss: Clipper uses ISObutane (instead of butane) makes difference when it's freezing or below freezing temperatures. The Nylon 66 polymer (that clipper uses) is a better "plastic" then many other lighters and "more fireproof". Clipper is designed to be held upside-down to light "smoking products" or tobacco in a pipe - gives bigger flame when tilted upside-down. Clipper started production about the same time as BIC and gain popularity among "tobacco-alternative pipe smokers".The iso-butane is purified multiple times and supposedly has less odor when inhaling smoking substance then lighter is still light. I like the clipper "gas button" doesn't get depressed accidentally in a pocket (some people put zip-tie on a bic to prevent it from happening). Removable flint-wheel part has many advantages in starting a fire and drying a lighter if it gets wet. Flint in Bic lighter is (imho) a better quality then clipper - but clipper flint is replaceable and you can use better quality flint and adjust the spring by stretching it a little bit. Clipper can be bought in USA in Walmart for about $1 (about the same price as bic) - clippers mini online for about $2. I put some of the miniclipper flint-wheel inserts on as jacket zipper-pulls. The insert is used to pack tobacco or other smoking products in a joint or a pipe. The lighter can be used to prevent flies to enter an open bottle of wine.

    Nice kit. I have made a number of these over the years with similar items (except the Play-Do). I'd like to answer a number of the comments questioning the convenience of taking stuff out of it. The kits I carry in my POCKET are primarily for emergency and first aid use. I do have a number of edc items in it but seldomly take them out because I carry a primary knife and Chap stick in another pocket. I do use its fiber cloth to clean my glasses once in a while and have used the lighter a few times to like a cigar. The most important item in all my kits is a spare car key, that has saved the day a couple of times. I put a lot of time into building them all with the hope of never having to use any item in it. Go figure, huh.

    I always think things like this are cool but I can never really carry such a kit because everything I carry has to be my pocket and be relatively convenient / easy to access pretty readily.
    Putting a kit like this together could be good for my fishing pack or the small sling pack I take to work, but in a blue collar job / life I find limited situations to need an entire kit like this.
    I carry a yellow birch outfitters pocket pico organizer.
    It holds my pocket knife of the week, 4" adjustable wrench, and fisher bullet pen in the " front " 3 slots that I can reach into my pocket to retrieve without taking the organizer out, then a notepad and some bandaids in the middle, and a couple miscellaneous things in the back zipper pocket like my pocket toothpick that I don't mind drawing my organizer to retrieve.
    My pocket light gets clipped into my pocket, and my small Sebertool m4 multitool goes in my watch pocket.

    Your kit in a tin contains several useful items. The problem with keeping the light, knife, and multitool inside the box is that it makes them more difficult and slower to access when you need them. Opening the box to get to the knife, for example, takes time and risks spilling the other kit contents. How about keeping a few of the kit contents on the outside of the box? Thanks for the video.

      Yeah, this is pretty much my philosophy for a kit I'm putting together. My base edc is my keychain, which has a victorinox manager, flashlight, peanut lighter and small pill container. I usually have some other larger folding knife as well. So no knife, light, lighter, pen, pills, etc will be in the tin (I am planning a small folding razor blade though). It should leave me room for some bigger useful things like a car charger and small cable, mini sharpie, etc.

    Nice setup. An idea for you: put some cotton ball stuff in the bag with the matches. That way you have a bit tinder and the wool will present the heads of the matches rub at each other. That way they don't desintegrate themselves. It's also a tip for pils. When they are loose together in a box and are move around like in a bag or pocket the crunch themselves to dust over time. That's the reason why there is a cotton ball in some medication flasks with pills.

    @MinimalistExplorerEDC 8 місяців тому

    I like the items in your EDC, I do think for a fraction of the price of both the Leatherman Squirt and the flashlight, there are more cost effective alternatives since EDC is really just for a back-up, so the items are probably not regularly used. I see on these videos that a majority carry a regular size leatherman and/or Swiss Army multi-tool in their pocket anyway. $62 for a tiny multi-tool back-up doesn’t seem practical. Only my opinion. I think it’s a great tool for sure, just not practical for what it’s being used for. Also, while a lighter may take a little more room, if opting out of carrying that, I’d swap your current matches for the “strike anywhere” matches. Then you don’t need to worry about whether you lose your striker or it’s gets soaked for whatever reason.

    Add a fire steel. They have small ones that will fit in this type of kit. If the kit were to get wet the matches might not be able to make fire. Too important to be the only fire source. Plenty of metal stuff already inside to be used as striker without having to add that. Otherwise cool kit.

    Good kit, love the contents. Not meant to be a “challenge”, if you have time it would be great to see the kit put through its paces. If it’s an EDC/survival kit, and if space allows, then I’d probably add some water purification tabs, a small ferro rod (the ones that Fire Fly make for Victorinox knives would be ideal as well as some tinder also made by same company but I think they’re call Fire Ant). If you’re able to get a small BIC lighter or a Clipper lighter or a peanut lighter then you’ll be on a winner. Might be an idea to use waterproof and wind proof matches instead of standard matches. I guess you may have to use a slightly larger tin. Good kit nonetheless!

      @@FittoSurvive Might be worth looking at a brand called Clipper, I’m in the UK so I don’t know if it’s available in the US, I’d be surprised if it wasn’t but they make a small lighter which also has a removable and replaceable spark wheel. Alternatively, there are brass mini peanut lighters but you’ll probably have to seal it with some tape (Gorilla or electrical tape) to help stop the lighter fluid from evaporating. Hope that helps and all the very best in your EDC adventures.

    Torch? Why not an head lamp torch with a detachable elastic band so you can walk or operate in the dark hands free...
    Ok all the medications and bandits but why not an emergency space blanket just in case you are closed inside something at cold or in case of signaling or in case to get cover by rain to twist it in a rope...
    Salt? Yes. But also White sugar pouch is very useful and also some 100mg caffeine pills to stay awake.
    Matches? Definitely obsolete. No. Mini or Midi Bic and some duct tape wrapped around so you get fire for whatever fixing reasons especially melting plastic or red-hot making nails you need to perforate something or adjust weldings contacts...
    Yeah, of course some cash money is ever useful. But some coins for automatic vending machines?
    Some business cards. Perhaps with bank or paypal refersments to receive money.
    A light digital clock such as Casio W202.
    Instead of your logo put your personal QR code with refersments so if somebody ask you ... you can simply show it and you carry weight for something useful without opening the box.
