    Wrap the outside of the tin with electrical tape. Makes it somewhat waterproof, as you have some tape too 😎

    Pretty sure, the medical tape is meant to be used with the towel, for bandages. The towel can also be used for water collection (think, dew). But, yeah, it CAN work as tinder, I suppose.

    This is my favorite premade, small survival kit. I normally make my own but I've found that its an excellent supplement to a homemade kit. But if for whatever reason this was the only thing you had you could last a little while as long as you knew how to make a shelter and find a source of water

    Nice little kit. I'm in the early stage of survival kits where just about all kits have something I don't. The mini tin looks like the ones used by The Mint Factory to sell their Informints. I bought mine at Dunhams Sports here in Ohio.

    I don't know if anyone else said this but it is based on the classic tobacco tin the SAS uses. The US habit of using candy tins copies this with an even smaller size.

    Wish there was a way to include a whirl-Pak as water is so important and the included "containers" do not meet the requirement for the water purification tabs. Perhaps the assumption is you're carrying water/container separately.

      A knife would have to be pretty small to get it in the tin in the first place. It would be easy enough to include a knife suitable for carrying in the UK, but it is perhaps preferable to have a kit that you can take on a commercial flight.

    well with the pinch light, you can a some string to it and whip it around and you have a buzz saw for signaling. the top of the tin can be used as a pan with wire and the same with the bottom as a pot. That o screw is used for a eye on the tip of the stick. as for the shelter side of it, with the paracord and the inner strands you could break some stick off and tie them up and make a decent lean to or plow point shelter with sticks and pine branches as a bed. 4 inches.
    the tins were designed way back in the day as a last ditch survival kit in the idea if you lost your gear or you were on the run from the enemy as a escape and evasion aspect. To be honest I thought of trying to see if I can last at least one or two nights with the one i made.
    I you want to see a good video of how to survive out of one go to Ranger Survival and Fieldcraft and watch the video called solo survival with a altoids tin survival kit.
    Please keep ypu the great videos and reviews. You have helpedme on building and adding to a few of my kits.

    • @spyfiction4
      @spyfiction4 2 роки тому

      I forgot to add with the tin itself you can make char cloth and you can take some twigs and add a point to make a char pencil. If you add a wire saw the best one I found the the bcb commando wire saw. the other ones are china made and dont really last that long.

    They should say " packaged in the UK " as I'd expect it to say " packaged in the USA " because there are no doubt some Chinese made items in here.
    One thing I think they failed on is the soft plastic baits, a worm and grub are things you should be able to very easily find.
    Could be worse but theres gotta be something better they could have included for those who are not going to open this till it's needed.
