I zip-tie my lighters too. These sized kits could definitely help a little more. I usually think Altoids kits help more to compliment your other gear, but shouldn't be relied upon alone.
Having an option to open the tin and spread the gear over your person in a genuine emergency is useful. Rope to make a belt with 'keychain' attachment style options for example.
Love the kit. One thing I would like to see it an edc survival kit that is tsa compliant. The cutting edge(knife) is one problem that I would like to see solved……..
I like the bigger tin personally. I made one fro a Swiss coffee tin years ago roughly 4-6 inch and took a belt clip off a old tape measure to hook on your belt works great. Thanks for the great vids
I think it is a fun challenge to stock an Altoid tin for survival. I think it is possible to come close to being a serious survival container if stocked properly. I am constantly thinking of ways to do it. If I were to use a larger metal container like the one in this video, I would replace all of the cutting implents with one Victorinox Swiss Champ or a Victorinox Huntsman. It would easily fit in your container. For batoning/splitting small wood, I would take a steel credit card tool and sharpen it to have an edge. A mylar blanket. A ferro rod, a few storm proof matches, lighter would be my three choices for fire lighting. The tea candle is great idea but I would like to add in a few birthday trick candles. Liquid skin stitch/super glue, bandages, neosporin. Asprins, pepto bismo pills, and benadryl. a match container with whistle-signal mirror- can be used to house the birthday candles and matches. I think you might even have room for a Sawyer mini with pouch and a bottle of water purification tablets. oh and last but not least a few fuel cubes.
I'm glad you saw the wasted space. Like you said, if done right, the little tin is a winner. I'm not saying I wouldn't want more stuff in with a bigger tin when I need it. But if I have a bigger tin harder to put in pocket, it means it stays home more often than in pocket. I tried that already. Then they say put it in your pack. ok, we just got separated from our pack now. What small tin in pocket ever time
You could probably run the kit through a vacuum sealer to make it waterproof. Only good until it is opened but for a kit that isn't opened all the time it might be an option
A small net making shuttle might be a nice addition to a kit like that. A card could be used for the gauge. A purse net for catching rabbits and such can be made in a jiffy. Also a couple of Cubby Grub MiniMites. Those would take up very little real estate in your box, and are great for catching crappie and other panfish. Thanks for sharing.
I’d rather just roll up a net, get a modest stuff sack and build the rest of the survival kit around that. In fact that would make a fun survival kit build: soft shell grab n go for high water areas: compact reel, eye hooks, tackle, a rolled net already rigged with weights. Plenty of zip ties. Extra net for crab traps or making a fishing scoop net from a sapling. Nice filet knife. Can of Old Bay. That’d be a fun kit. Sunscreen. Bucket hat. Mosquito net.
Where's your first aid supplies? I would put a bigger ferroceim rod in your kit. You need some Tylenol. I think your kit is ok. I would use some of the items you picked. But just like everyone else I would do it a little different. But you have great ideas. Good video.
yea so i think this vid is really great thxs for informing usss! i am definatalin upgrading my survvival kit now, i can definatality relate to the idea of the hot glue melting! i have used it in the past!
I'm glad you did this video because I really think people totally misunderstand the SAS style (Altoid) survival tins. The SAS carried a tin similar to that, but they also carried a full tang knife, cordage, a metal container, a compass, a survival shelter of some kind, and multiple ways to start a fire, etc. A great video by a former SAS Sargeant Eddie Stone on this: ua-cam.com/video/7XPJNF6VaHM/v-deo.html They carried, as Dave Canterbury says, the 5-10 Cs of survival, which most would agree is the bare minimum. Shawn Kelly "Corporals Corner" put it great when he said, in a survival kit video of his own, "the 10 c's are already limited gear. Who's good enough to have even less with them?" He admitted he was not and few people would be in today's day and age. Let someone know where you're going. Carry as much gear as you can, know how to use it, and practice, practice, practice.
I love the way you did this kit and I agree that the esse tin kit would be better in either a pack or haves sack I am wondering where you got the tin with the plastic lid thoe? It would fit perfectly in my cargo pocket of my hunting pants and I find that if you use the used twist ties instead of small zip ties under the buttons of the lighters it allows you to be able to use the lighters but also replace the wire back under the buttons so as not have accidental discharge of the fuel so that they last longer also if it will fit you can add a small pill bottle with a locking lip tab and add with the stickers some waterproof matches and a few birthday candles for flame extenders as for the spool with the line on it I have seen them be for and you can usually find them in older fishing kits for landlines. The only draw back from this kit is lacking to be able to make char cloth but I think a mini altoids tin included in the kit would suffice for that it would not take up to much room and you could also add a large space blanket folded up to it also with ranger bands holding it shut also I forgot add a button compass to it for navigation. Also where do you ding the knot cards? I would love to get a set of them.
You have the exit one from County Comm, I have the large one and the don’t have either any longer. The Suma kits you can get the empty ones from 5COL also. They come in large and small also.
Interesting kit! I agree, you absolutely need at least one mylar blanket! I feel the 'space blanket' is one of the most useful survival items to have; not so much as a blanket (they're crappy for that purpose) but to rig a tarp that will keep you dry and reflect the heat of a fire back on you. Generally I'm not a fan of hard cases for kits because they limit the useful space and make it difficult to get oddly shaped things in there but I suppose that one is large enough to boil a useful volume of water.
I'm going with a hiking pan and lid. Great for boiling water, fits all the real stuff you'd need if in a real emergency. Bought an X band to hold it together and in a ziplock. Protects from water and helps hold water. Sometimes bigger IS better, in many situations...
if yuo look onlines for bento box you will find something similar to your 1st box it is a Japanese style lunch box available in different sizes and some have compartments in the lid for spoon chopsticks etc I'm sure you could find a use for those like maybe keep flammable items on the outside Bill
“Dental floss...for stitching myself up.” If you mean medical stitches, generally best to leave the wound open. The stitching is often done to reduce the scar size, but many open wounds can heal in from the sides just fine (called secondary intention in medical jargon.). The most important thing is to avoid stitching a dirty would closed...and unless you are carrying enough sterile water to flush the wound for 15 minutes, it is a dirty wound. Comments can’t give med advice or cover all scenarios, but stitching up a dirty wound can lead to severe and difficult to-treat infections, and often creates a much worse situation than leaving it open.
Cool kit lots of useful items. I've created many little container kits before. I usually would seal the metal ones like a fire kit in a baggy to keep water out. Other use for that saw blade would be to aid in processing some tinder(tease the fibers more and use the 90 degree spine to scrape with) I like this spool , maybe i can create one similar :D All the best from CR
My current philosophy is cross loading. Simply defined cross loading is carrying the survival tools one needs on one’s person. Cargo pockets. Back pockets. Neck lanyard. Maybe a backup little skinner on a boot. If an individual heads out on an adventure wearing cargo trousers, a Columbia or Northface shirt blouse and jacket that individual has 10-14 pockets including the jacket. 14 pockets affords a tremendous spectrum of options for critical survival tools. Especially if a full tang knife & multi tool are worn on the belt. Two challenges often trip people up and send them scrambling back to their haversack, their fanny pack of butt pack or ruck: some type of metal water vessel and a sleep/shelter system. First water. Amazon sells stainless steel liquor flasks that hold either 26 or 35 ounces of water. They measure 6.5”x7.5”x 1.5” EASY back pocket carry and less cumbersome than a cylindrical water bottle. Secondly, what about sleep and shelter? There are killer backpacking tarps 8’ square that are made of featherweight, water resistant material. They fold easily and slide right into a rear game pocket. Lots of options exist for a nice 3 season coat with a 14” or 16” game pocket discreetly sewn behind zippers. Not grandpappy’s duck grease macintosh from 1952. Lastly 3mil 42 gallon contractors bags fold down to the size of a fat pack of smokes. Use craft bags or Ziplocks to keep them compact and with one in each cargo pocket and one in a back pocket you have 3 to work with. Browse beds. Ersatz sleeping bags. Quickie poncho. And fellas forget about those silly breath mint tins. They’re gimmicks. A much better option are a couple of the small zipper tool pouches at Home Depot. Usually in the tool corral by the tool bags. 1 or 2 of those nicely organized and you’ve got the makings of an excellent survival camp without even carrying the tiniest Camelback
You should do a video where you actually make char cloth with that metal tin and the plastic top. I would like to see that and I’m sure so would others. And with that yellow glue piece why don’t you just start with an arrow head and then melt it down to something else if you need.
I like the kit and it is large enough to also place the altoids tin in to be used for making char cloth with and it does not take up a lot of room also the sol fixed blade knife if it holds a sharp edge it would make a good neck knife.
Late to the comments section, but watching your run through, when you get to the small SOL knife, and even before that, when you cover the small folding saw, you are clearly adding items that you know are potentially compromising your kit. For me, I'd ditch the SOL knife, the folding saw, and the small Victorinox SAK and replace all three with a victorinox huntsman. Not only would I trust the capability of the larger SAK more than the untested SOL knife and the folding hobby saw but it would also be a much more compact tool to include in the overall kit.
Trail marker: Very good idea! Dental floss: NEVER used the waxed one. Lighter: The tie-wrap is a bad idea because very hard to remove and even worst in winter. Use a piece of wire instead and that wire may come in very handy! Hard-Glue: Not the best, use a small piece of glue stick instead. Small candle: Don't bother. Use fat wood instead. Swabs: Make your own it's 10,000 better. For that mix petroleum jelly into a piece of cotton, then insert it in a 2" straw and seal it at both ends. Not only it's water and dustproof, but it'll also burn longer! Mini-zip ties & that tiny roll of wire: Replace with braided fishing line and real snare wire. Much more versatile and durable. Razor blade and saw blade: Replace with a small jigsaw blade and a heavy-duty utility blade. Fishing line: The braided line from above is much better and way more durable. One item, many uses! Metal wire: Again, the snare wire does the job. One item with multiple uses! Boy Scout Mini Ferro-Rod Really not the best for survival and breaks easily. Get one from Light My Fire. Whistle: That whistle is great. However, a marine grade one is more durable and shaped like a small tube. Beware of the ones made from cheap plastic! Float: No need, a piece of wood will do the job. Sewing kit: You don't need the threads, you already have a braided fishing line! zombie tinder: Don't need. You already have the swab+vaseline+straw.
Liked the Bic mod. Could be problematic to work off with cold hands. I failed to even strike a Bic before because my motor skill fell apart winter camping (really really cold time). I can warm the lighter within layers but sometimes the hands just get cold. Not sure. Just thinking. Clearly that button won't get accidentally pressed. Nice kit!
The point of the altoid size tin is that the best survival kit is the one you have with you. It's pocket sized. Your kit is useful in your backpack.. In case you lose your backpack in an emergency??? Your kit has many fun ideas though. I just feel you may have missed the point of the mini kit. I'd love to see you.. And others... Use your kit in a 24 hour overnight challenge :)
Some of the things in there are useless as you can find them outdoors in any conditions. I find a pine cone is a perfect fishing float but a stick will do
I personally find the metal box best, from the closure and from the high edge of the lid. ! I can only recommend the plastic bags with pressure closures or pull closures. ! I packed everything with the bags in my backpack so that it was waterproof and airtight. ! Compression bags for clothes can also be found on Amazon, these can be used with a vacuum cleaner or double-stroke pump (for inflatable boats.! (This can make things more compact.!) I always have a small ice fishing rod with me.! My spare fishing line I have in my 100 meter Commandos rope as a replacement.! + hoes with eyelets.!
You can also get a Tenkara type spool of line. Most are foam, wood, or plastic and very similar to the hand reel you have, but round and easily found online.
Its funny how no 1 understand what a survival tin is. Its not for putting in pocket and hitting the woods. Its for whats in its name survival. If you get lost without your pack you have your tin we dont need the refrigerator drawer with us. See how often you leave home with out that because its just so big to have in pocket.
The Prepared Wanderer ok I’ll give you that. I haven’t had big cargo pockets in a long time. I guess I think of a pocket survival kit as something really small like an Altair’s that you can stuff in any pocket and you almost don’t notice it’s there. I keep a bigger kit like this in my car and keep the small one in my backpack along with full size gear I plan to use, more like a redundancy
You're the only person I've seen keep glue in their kit, that's a great idea brother
The best kit is the one you have with you when it’s needed! To say one packaging is superior to another assumes it will ever in our pocket

You could actually fill the Altoids can with char cloth, etc. and fit in in the bigger kit.

I think you might even have room for a Sawyer mini with pouch and a bottle of water purification tablets. oh and last but not least a few fuel cubes.
Do you think that it would it be possible to polish the inside of the Altoid tin lid enough to use it as a signal mirror? Maybe with fine steel wool.
I'm glad you saw the wasted space. Like you said, if done right, the little tin is a winner. I'm not saying I wouldn't want more stuff in with a bigger tin when I need it.

And a single use poncho , they take up very little space but work great .
My interest wasn’t Piqued until he pulled out the mini- Tabasco bottle filled with fishing gear!
Nicely done, wish I had seen this before I did my pocket Survival kit vid.
I would add a button compass and some sort of emergency ration bar
Check out Altered Platform Pocket Survivel Tin on Etsy
Searched for it but no results

"Where did you get the fishing spool from?" "I told you not to ask me that!!"
Hello my outdoors friend, thank you for sharing this very informative video. All the best to you out there on the trail. 🤗
yea so i think this vid is really great thxs for informing usss! i am definatalin upgrading my survvival kit now, i can definatality relate to the idea of the hot glue melting! i have used it in the past!
Good stuff. I like the dental floss idea. I'm gonna add some to mine today.

Good set-up! Lots of good ideas in there. Thanks for the show and tell!
Not trying to be sassy but if you have pants that that can fit that in the pocket where did you get them
Best regards to you! by Major Peer! Keep it up and I wish you a great day!

It wonderful like your setup.
Putting zip ties on your lighter is a great idea thanks.
Nice! try a canadian jam with bankline to lock de bic lighters, you can re use it and make a loop to carry in the other end like a keychain
Wrap the container in electrical tape then it’s waterproof and you have extra tape!
Nice bro best video I've seen on this type shit

I agree. Scrap a few not so great things for one decent Victorinox with blade and saw. Sturdier and reliable.

i keep my kit in a, aLOK SAK(pronounced a-lock sack, must be that Ohio accent. ;-] ). great loadout.
Hi
Why so much of fishing items!
3 knives no med kit.???
Not sure what “pocket” it’s for. Must be a backpack pocket
Never heard of a cargo pocket?
The Prepared Wanderer ok I’ll give you that. I haven’t had big cargo pockets in a long time. I guess I think of a pocket survival kit as something really small like an Altair’s that you can stuff in any pocket and you almost don’t notice it’s there.

No offense man but shouldn't a pocket survival kit fit it a pocket? 100% with you on the bic lighter.
Great video. A sub from me
No basic first aid........ fail
