i would put the needle and sharp objects under the foil, this way you know where the tiny things are and they wont hurt your hand while your searching for something
I liked the wrapped hemp around your lighter, good idea. I have a fishing kit similar to yours, but used a sewing spool to hold about 50' of line. For those comments on the mindset of why we're prepared...I was forced to spend the night when my canoe turned and I lost most of my supplies. I had my emergency tin in a zipped pocket, it helped start a fire for that night, to dry my clothes and was lucky enough to catch a couple of perch to eat. I hiked out that morning...that was twenty five years ago and I still consider that one of my luckiest days. I still carry that old tin...
1. If you take a drill bit of the right diameter, you can use it by hand, to drill away the little protruding tube on the inside of the superglue nozzle. It's meant to puncture the seal on the superglue tube, but if you get rid of it you can store the nozzle on the tube without breaking the seal. It's slightly more compact that way, and you can always use the front end of the nozzle to puncture the tube, then screw it back on to dispense glue. I also shorten the front of the nozzle by cutting a bit shorter and at a 45deg angle. 2. I wouldn't put a lot of faith in those little button compasses, especially when they're kept around a lot of metal, especially-especially metal tools. They tend to be at least slightly magnetized. Additionally, you're unlikely to wind up in the wilderness with just a mint tin, and if you do, that mint tin won't get you too far. Anywhere else you won't need a compass to get around.; the sky should be enough. 3. You don't have a way to purify water (that foil won't last being heated up more than a couple of times), yet you're fishing..? You can go for weeks without food, but only a couple of days without water. I know a fishing kit is a popular survival kit item, but it's only practical in bigger kits, meant for longer-term survival. Water purifier tabs and a foldable bag are a much better option. 4. What is the intended purpose of this survival kit? What kind of a setting is it meant to help you survive in, and for how long? I think those questions get ignored a lot, when people (myself included) start putting together survival packs. We want to put in as much cool stuff as we can, so we end up losing sight of the purpose behind the kit.
That's already better than most of the pre packaged survival kits and probably at a fraction of the cost. You're changing it with the situation too, another fantastic tip, if you're using it as part of a general survival pouch/bag ect. then this becomes storage for smaller items and is designed to work with the bigger kit. Great stuff!!
The waxes paper backing for the duct tape hs its own uses as well. People often forget that it is the world’s thinnest candle. So roll it up tight and it’s almost as good as a birthday candle. Also, good for catching scrapings off a ferro rod or magnesium bar or fat wood. And never forget that when combine with a cheap plastic comb from elementary school picture day, it makes a pretty wicked-awesome kazoo! ;-)
I have a similar tin but I took a different approach. Instead of having a small backup flashlight and a small backup knife inside the tin, I eliminated all the redundancy and made the kit to complement my EDC that I carry everywhere.
agreed. it's SO tiny yet literally just yesterday saved my ass! (I actually LOST my water and lifestraw on a hot canoe trip yesterday. with the pill I suddenly had 64 ounces of water)
For ti morons who know nothing about survival you can put stones that have recently come from a fire in the Altoids Tin and that will boil and yes you have to switch out the rocks
very nice little kit. I have made kits very close to this. I have gotten away from the tins because they are not water proof. I have been using cigarette pack dry boxes. 99cent at any surf or tackle shop. also I include two or three old fashion birth day candles. we enjoy the tricks and tips in all your videos. keep up the good work.
Awesome Altoids Tin Kit! Maybe add some Tinder Quick's or some kind of tinder. To help with starting a fire if your lighter runs out of fluid. Also where did you get that wax twine?
FYI I live in the desert southwest many of my bics kept in my garage kits that I have taken out of the original packaging but never used (after a few years) have had the flint corrode. Even when kept in ziplock bags. The fuel was still present in the lighter but the wheel and flint were useless.
I like your choice of items, however, I reccomend getting a small bag that can be extended or a condom for water storage. I also gotta say, that idea for hemp wick is pretty clever
I like the folding razor better than a tiny knife for an Altoids kit. Also was happy to find out about waxed hemp wick, putting duct tape on wax paper, and the addition of a piece of aluminum foil. Thank you!
Love the lighter idea but the waxpaper/duct tape is the best idea I've seen for carrying duct tape. I used to use a tin, but I use a plastic soap dish now. Can hold a lot more items & in a pack the larger size doesn't matter too much, and it allows me to carry acouple days worth of prescription medication & pain medicine which many people forget. It also gives me room to keep a fully charged cell phone battery, which, if truth be told is the item I use the most followed by pain meds. Instead of rubber bands, I like to use thicker bands cut from bicycle inner tube. Far more durable than rubberbands and they don't dry rot too fast, and if you need to you can cut thinner bands off. I also have a pair of nitrile gloves which I vaccuum sealed with a food saver.
I always feel like these hardcore survivalist/prepper guys are going to be the first ones to panic and die in a "SHTF" situation. Nonetheless neat little video.
UnaSolida I agree there are a few who do tabletop reviews and never leave the house. With anything else, practice and time in the woods takes away the panic.
One of the best small tin kits I have seen, you feel like this one might get you home or at least keep you alive for a while to await rescue! I'd try to add a wazoo emergency reservoir or at least one of the cooking bags like this that you can obtain from the supermarket/store as that makes boiling water and water collection a lot easier
Don't use alcohol prep pads for wound cleaning. The alcohol will actually kill living cells and create infection. There is a reason why they are laled "external use only". Otherwise this kit is solid! Love the hemp wick and the modular concept.
I would highly advise against that braided fishing line. It would make some cool extra cording but as handline fishing line, it is straight up dangerous. It will cut itself and you very efficiently, especially on that thing. I would do 50# minimum to avoid that. Regular fishing line would probably still be better and easier to deal with.
Do you have a PDF of the contents of your daily pack/Kits? Maybe with links to where we can find some of the items? You could put affiliate links up to Amazon and make money on the side too!
+Living Survival [wick/lighter] ive made many of these kits, some which have a total of 45 items... but ive never seen or even thought to do that in any of my own kits!! simply brilliant- thanks for sharing!!
Great kit. I dig the nano light and the waxed hemp twine. I add a good ol' razor blade to my kits. They are small and fit well in any tin as well as being a useful item.
In a survival situation that's true. But up to the point of a survival situation is it worth getting locked up over? I think not. I'd rather carry a single edge razor and a toothbrush. Melt the toothbrush handle a little, push the razor in and you not only have an impromptu knife but you also have a better handle.
Nice kit. I haven't made an ASK yet, but maybe its time. You've got lots of useful things in yours. Would you consider some small strips of birch bark, or a sheet of it in teh shape of the tin!? Thanks for sharing
I am making a stationary EDC Altoids kit for myself. Please suggest - 1) Small glue stick or Liquid glue which can be used repeatedly 2) Compact slim stapler 3) Flat nail clippers 4) Small mirror which can be sticked on inner side of lid of Altoids tin
Great video! I have pretty much everything you have but that waxed hemp wick. That is an awesome idea! I've seen others dip their own twine, but this is a great alternative and not as bulky. Thanks so much for sharing!
Spiderwire is so awesome, I've been using it for years as sewing thread. I have 10ft of 2mm cord in my altoids kit with a break strength of 110 pounds. My spiderwire is 30 pound test so if I multiply it 4 times I can have 120 pound with a lot less bulk. I put my kit together less than 2 weeks ago and have changed it twice. Now going for #3. LOL. Is the foil tin or aluminum? I suggest you unfold the foil and try making a cup. I've ripped many sheets of aluminum foil at home and can't imagine not doing so in the woods when it's dark or I'm tired or it's windy. The Hemp wick is a fantastic idea.
These are a good idea Some seem to think, they are gimmicks In my opinion they can be of great use To someone’s morale if they find they have to walk away from the safety of their vehicle Or can’t get back to base camp before the sun goes down The ability to have a fire at night while waiting for the sun to come up to make your way back to camp or where ever you might me headed along with to possibly to get some food with that small fishing kit if your by a body of water These are just my ramblings
I know this was done 8 years ago, I’d be curious what you carry daily now. I’m wondering if you work outside and that’s why you need a fire and fishing option in that little kit? Or you commute in a desolate area? I feel like for EDC you could replace a lot of those items, unless you’re hiking in the woods everyday. We can live several days without food, but not very long without water so I’d suggest a gallon bag and water purification tablets.
everywhere you go, everywhere you are, you are standing in the place you will be if it all goes to shit at that moment. hence EDC: "Every Day Carry". you have it with you and as close to you as possible (physically on you in the best case scenario). so, yeah...you are at a wedding when the "insert your SHTF scenario here" happens. you have something on you that will at least give you a head start to make it through.
Thanks for the awesome video! Don't listen to those stupid trolls. They only sit on their computer all day making fun of other people because they have nothing else to do in their life. Keep making videos like this!!!
Living Survival wow!! amazing small compact kit, really like the hemp wick very smart and handy to have. also like how you included super glue very good for a lot of things like closing up wounds. id give this small little kit a 10/10 I now know some handy things to put in my everyday survival kit
Yeah , good contents . One of the first to see Crazy Glue in . I'm carrying Crazy Glue for over 40 years in my survival packs but worning : now days plastic and metal tubs drying out after a year or two so change tham often .
Clever stuff. I would ditch the leatherman and add some electrical tape and some more string. Also 4 safety pins could be the corners of a tarp shelter.I would add some ibuprofen and aqua mira water purification tablets.
Yes because a safety pin, a piece of foil, and neosporin are going to save you if this occurs. 🤔 The items at the wedding itself are more useful ten-fold.
Nice kit, some really useful items in there. I think the fishing kit and compass is unlikely to ever get used but an emergency supply of cash would probably help in most real life situations.
probably not the best or safes thing to do with the candle wick, if left untended or the wick burns down to close to the bic lighter you would have an explosion with the heat from the flame or some kind of incendiary efect that could cause serious problems for you or what ever or who ever is around you!!!
Add an index card folded up( you can even laminate it) with your emergency contacts and info if you get lost and forget your Altoids Kit in a some what civilized area where it can be found
Thank you for two new ideas! I plan to secure some Gorilla or duct tape to waxed paper and also attach some waxed hemp cordage around a Bic lighter. A suggestion: include a small packet of regular aspirin (good for pain but also good to have if you think you might be having a heart attack; CHEW a tablet and of course call 911.
The only question I have is why did you put the duct tape on wax paper? Duct tape can stick to itself on the roll. Couldn't I just fold up some duct tape upon itself?
video was well done and comprehensive. I have to admit I think these survival tins are pretty much useless. I would rather have a tin designed to accomplish a specific task, light catching a fish or lighting a fire. a small collection of these would be much more useful and still fairly compact. Just a thought I wanted to share with you.
In the fishing kit I would have #8 hooks instead of those #4s . You are more likely to catch small fish with a hand line than large fish, and the smaller hooks will catch large fish if one should happen to take the bait. I have not tried this but I think the larger hooks baited and set on land could catch mammals, especially if using treble hooks and strong line
A tad overkill don't you think. At a wedding? Why? If you're prepping for a shtf situation- in realistic situations you would have time to get to your home or your car/vehicle. The sequence of things going west outside of Hollywood is rare. Although living in America with your guns laws and all the idiots armed to the teeth you might have a point.
Little bit late to the video, but one thing i'd add would be water purification tablets. Just a couple to throw in there of couse thus would be supplementary to the foil container and boiling water, incase you have to move quick after grabing water.
great kit lots of different uses for these items ... i would add a F.lens in for 4 reasons: see small things.solar fire, to extend the throw distance of that mini light (lighthouse) and takes up tiny room and weights very little too... :D
As someone whose EDC is packed in a Prince Albert tobacco can, I thought I might mention that your Altoids tin also may serve as a small drinking cup. I commend you for the recognition of the Leatherman Micra as a superior carry item. Mine is in my right pocket while a cheap copy with needlenose pliers is in the left. My tweezers have an included flashlight not unlike your own.
Mate you need to re think your friends list if you need a survival tin to get through their wedding
😂 lol
What if it’s at a venue and someone shoots it up
Landon is Gay well this kit wont save you then
Hilarious!
I'd suggest a few smaller hooks as you can catch big fish with a small hook but you can catch smaller fish with a big hook.
Dude! I love the lighter/wick idea! I am definitely using it in my kit.
*Double thumbs up*
What did he use for the hemp wick? Does anyone have an Amazon link?

MI Timberwookie The folding thing is a razor blade.
I should have been more clear, I meant single disposables that would take less room than something with handles. More room for other goodies.
Living Survival Problem with that folding razor is in a lot of places they are actually illegal to carry while a old school single edge razor is fine.
GrizzlyBear Warrior In a survival situation I really could care less what is illegal :)
In a survival situation that's true. But up to the point of a survival situation is it worth getting locked up over? I think not. I'd rather carry a single edge razor and a toothbrush. Melt the toothbrush handle a little, push the razor in and you not only have an impromptu knife but you also have a better handle.

You would carry this in a wedding? Lmfao! That's a bit overboard, dude. I can see if it's a wedding IN the woods, but come on
Yeah, because earthquakes and other natural disasters never happen when you’re at a wedding. 🙄
Yes because a safety pin, a piece of foil, and neosporin are going to save you if this occurs. 🤔
The items at the wedding itself are more useful ten-fold.
nice tin...I love Altoid Tins! so many variations
DEFINITELY a nicely set up kit brother man! I love the idea of the micro fishing kit!
***** For sure, I'll give it a test once the blizzard passes.

Where did you get that hemp wick at?

Nice kit, some really useful items in there. I think the fishing kit and compass is unlikely to ever get used but an emergency supply of cash would probably help in most real life situations.
Love the hemp wick idea around the bic lighter!
probably not the best or safes thing to do with the candle wick, if left untended or the wick burns down to close to the bic lighter you would have an explosion with the heat from the flame or some kind of incendiary efect that could cause serious problems for you or what ever or who ever is around you!!!
+leonardo1480 really...
Add an index card folded up( you can even laminate it) with your emergency contacts and info if you get lost and forget your Altoids Kit in a some what civilized area where it can be found
+GiankArizabaleta _ good tip, thanks.
I'm surprised that I haven't heard of these before.
paulie 4x has all knives. all knowledge. could be the man! lololololololoolololol
Very nice kit. I'm going to use some of those items in the kit I'm working on
Nice. . I Need To Work On one.. Thanks For The Idea.
imagine working for a basketball stadium you open this, do you kick the guy out or do you wish him good luck?
Thank you for two new ideas! I plan to secure some Gorilla or duct tape to waxed paper and also attach some waxed hemp cordage around a Bic lighter. A suggestion: include a small packet of regular aspirin (good for pain but also good to have if you think you might be having a heart attack; CHEW a tablet and of course call 911.
Very nice kit, some great ideas I haven't heard yet. That hemp cord is on my list to get now. Thanks for sharing.
***** Yeah it dawned on me that I had some I was sent as a sample. Finally putting i to use, cool stuff because you can wrap it around anything.
You think waxed jute would work about the same?
Go to a smoke shop, always sold there. A lot of stokers use it.
you could perhaps add a whistle built into something
The only question I have is why did you put the duct tape on wax paper? Duct tape can stick to itself on the roll. Couldn't I just fold up some duct tape upon itself?
ctdismukes0911 You could but in a hot car for example it can become really stuck and then peeling it off you lose the stick.
video was well done and comprehensive. I have to admit I think these survival tins are pretty much useless. I would rather have a tin designed to accomplish a specific task, light catching a fish or lighting a fire. a small collection of these would be much more useful and still fairly compact. Just a thought I wanted to share with you.
Hey, is it ok if I post this on my ifunny account?
THE UNIVERSE *_H A T E S_* IFUNNY
great kit, brother! thanks for sharing!
Primal Edge Thanks for watching and the comment Mike.
good work EDC , its great thats mini tools, maybe included a mini saw¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡
I think I’m going to get two altoids tins and solder them together. Epoxy will probably work but I’ll prolly end up using both
In the fishing kit I would have #8 hooks instead of those #4s . You are more likely to catch small fish with a hand line than large fish, and the smaller hooks will catch large fish if one should happen to take the bait. I have not tried this but I think the larger hooks baited and set on land could catch mammals, especially if using treble hooks and strong line
A very interesting breakdown as am currently putting together my own tin so took a few ideas from this one. Many thanks for sharing ~Peace~
EXCELLENT kit , but by the unwritten laws of UA-cam altoid kits, it should stay completely closed on it's own lol . The Hempwick is genius
I like the waxed hemp wick.
A tad overkill don't you think. At a wedding? Why? If you're prepping for a shtf situation- in realistic situations you would have time to get to your home or your car/vehicle. The sequence of things going west outside of Hollywood is rare. Although living in America with your guns laws and all the idiots armed to the teeth you might have a point.
Amazing video!!
Great kid Ben, like it a lot! Cheers, Marc
Scouting Free I like my kid too, LOL.
Little bit late to the video, but one thing i'd add would be water purification tablets. Just a couple to throw in there of couse thus would be supplementary to the foil container and boiling water, incase you have to move quick after grabing water.
I love this little survival pack. I have a feeling every grandson is getting one of these!
***** :)
And grand daughters too if you have any. I made one for my son.
I GOT THE SAME TAPE😃😃😃😃😃😃!!!
Brandon Balderas nice ;)
great kit lots of different uses for these items ...
i would add a F.lens in for 4 reasons: see small things.solar fire, to extend the throw distance of that mini light (lighthouse) and takes up tiny room and weights very little too... :D
Andy Chow Very trued, I had one just lost it.
As someone whose EDC is packed in a Prince Albert tobacco can, I thought I might mention that your Altoids tin also may serve as a small drinking cup. I commend you for the recognition of the Leatherman Micra as a superior carry item. Mine is in my right pocket while a cheap copy with needlenose pliers is in the left. My tweezers have an included flashlight not unlike your own.
How did you wrap your fishing line before you put in the bag?
