Oh man I love these....

It is really pretty cool how much useful stuff you can actually fit in an Altoid sized tin.

I have honestly decided at this point I'll carry what I need rather than restrict myself to a pre-determined size that does not meet my needs.

But dang - still is fun to try!!!! I actually have an awaiting tin in my supply box!

So what items would YOU put into a small survival kit? What do you think would be useful, practical and actually fit in a small (Altoids?) sized kit?

A Band Aid, a ferro rod w/ compass built-in, striker w/ whistle built-in, sail needle w/ waxed thread[artificial sinew, bobbin of braided line and mono, 4 assorted small hooks, 2 med and 2 small split shot, piece of a broken CD[mirror], small one blade knife, 30' mason string, 12" x roll width - aluminum foil[heavy duty and folded as needed], 2 safety pins[med]. Then duct tape a packaged space blanket to the bottom and a GHB to the top[just kidding]. Pack the interior with cotton ball material to eliminate noise and provide tinder.
JMO YMMV
