This kit is amazing. Being small, compact, and easy to make and carry, I think this is something more hunters should use. Granted, it may not be perfect or 100% ideal, it is better than being stuck with nothing.

this may not be all u need but i think every one should carry something like this in the outdoors

it's a great survival kit. i have 2. one is for emergencies only and the other one is for practice purposes. no sense making a kit if you don't know how anything will work in the field. what good is it if you don't know how to use anything you pack?it's better to learn from your mistakes in your own backyard, then out in a emergency situation.

the hand sanitizer we all use is good help start
a fire,62%alcohol plus it cleans hands.one item
no one thinks to carry is safety goggles,may save
your eyes in the woods.

Not everyone's kit will be the same. One should always have some sort of kit to throw into your pack while hiking, your jacket while hunting, or your tackle box. Just the idea of a survival kit begs one to consider what one might need to carry along. It is fun and necessary to examine the various kits and the remarks made by more experienced souls. I have carried some useless items around until I have decided on something else that seems more appropriate. Basics: Working compass, emergency blanket, waterproof matches plus a cheap lighter, water, knives (plural), signal mirror. I also carry a mini roll of duct tape, fishing line and hooks, water treatment, string, tea and bullion, titanium drinking and cooking cup (military canteen cup is fine), paper & pencil and fire tinder. When possible, I carry a handgun (great for signaling, etc.)and extra ammo.

I think it's compact nature is exactly what makes it a good kit. It's not completely what you'd take backpacking our hunting, but it's small enough that you could habitually carry it in a pocket. You can have more equipment in a backpack or at camp, but the issue is when you get separated from these thing. It's the same philosophy as with defensive handguns. The best one is the one that is comfortable enough that you'll always carry it and therefore have it when the unexpected happens.

Survival kits are great but there is no substitute for taking a well planned course with a qualified instructor. They are fun and you meet great people. I have taken courses in Texas, South America, and Australia. Once you get hooked on survival training, it becomes as much of a hobby as hunting and fishing.

The most important thing in a survial kit is a good pocket knife!!!!

I like how this kit is very compact but I would like my kit to have a small hand gun like a .22. Something to get food with If I lost my gun.

Seeing I carry my knife in the field and have 550 parachute cord for shoe laces, All I need to carry is a flint, some waterproof matches, iodine tablets, some fishing line and hooks. Everything else I can get in the field, I can build a shelter, fire, create a water canteen from bark and wood, and find clear water.

I would like to revisit this topic for just one minute. I really appreciate everyones comments but I would like to say that if you want to make a top notch, easy to use survival kit, forget the altoids can mentality and use something like a tupperware sandwich container. This type of container is easy to carry, holds a lot more quality material than an altoids tin and is light weight as well. This type of container can fit in you pack or in a large vest pocket, is waterproof and it can save your life if properly loaded.

There are many good suggestions here on the comment board,but I am surprised that nobody has mentioned that many of the smaller items can all be easily put into a 35mm film canister or even an old medicine bottle which can be carried in nearly any pocket and resists water and can often float depending on which contents are in it.

Years ago Alabama passed a new hunter safety law and a buddy at work reported back from the classes. One of the teachers had fallen in a stream when a log broke and lay in the water with his leg twisted under him calculating the odds of survival. He had left most of his stuff in his truck. He now carries an extensive fanny pack BUT - the best kit is one you will carry with you. So the work buddy and I got into a small contest on making a pocket survival kit. I picked a big band-aid box that would barely fit my shirt pocket, but this little altoids tin kit looks like so much fun! Second point: In the eastern US, nobody stays lost for very long - 48 hours maybe?. Western US - different story. Different kit.

Its really helpfull to have if you lose your gun or just to have in case the unthinkable happens.

This is a great little kit. Does it contain every thing that person who is not use to being out in the enviroment or in incliment weather ? ( no ) However I believe that most everyone that I hunt,hike,or fish with including my three boys ages 10-17 could survive the elements for the first 72 hours with what is in this kit. Remember that if you are out in the woods hunting or hiking or even just taking pictures that you will have a minimal amount of equipment with you from firearms to even perhaps a shelter or maybe just a camera. If you use your imagination you can come up with some awsome ideals with a small amount of supplies. The number one key thing is confidence. You must have confidence that you can get through this tuff situation and will be O.K. So in my opinion this type of small kit is perfect for everyone, I have one that stays in my pack that I made from a plastic soap holder that can double as a digging tool or a drinking cup. the overall outcome is limit less with a good imagination.
God Bless

I would never carry that emergency pack. I don't see ANY GOOD reason to carry a small kit that won't keep you alive when you can just carry a backpack full of EVERYTHING you need.

The only good survival kit is one you bring with you and know how to use. I have mine in a fanny pack-- it has a small hatchet, 2 mag lites, and a spare set of batteries. I carry a bike flasher which can be seen for hundreds of yards especially if you climbed a tree and attached it up high. Put it on it's intermintent setting and it will flash for 200 hours-also usefull for dragging out your deer after dark. A sturdy space blanket and large orange garbage bag, first aid kit,signal mirror, some waterproof fire starter, a couple of lighters, a regular swiss army knife and a small water bottle are included. Throw in a few granola bars and a couple of juice boxes, 50' of parachute cord and you're good to go. Anyway this is my version. Yes it weighs a bit but it's got you covered for a day or 2 lost in the woods.

as for the finger saw/wire saw, I noticed someone said that they're useless. That depends on the one used. If you've had bad experiences with one before, it's probably because you bought the cheapest one wal-mart had to offer. One thing I've found is that you get what you pay for. If you're going to put in the time and effort to make a survival kit of any size or caliber, make sure you're using quality products. In the same respect, make sure what you use doesn't expire, or keep expiration dates in mind when putting it together. Even if you don't ever use it, set aside a little time once in a while to check the stuff inside: rust on a blade or wire will affect its performance when you need it most!

I'm new to this site, and appreciate the good ideas. I looked at an altiods tin a couple of years ago,too small for me.I have access to small ink tins, very thin and light, yet still rigid. Covers fit tightly and with electrical tape they are waterproof. They are 2/3 larger than altoids (3 3/8 dia x 1 1/8 thick). I have packed a lot of gear in mine; hack Saw blade,needles,fish line, hooks,magnesium fire starter,cotton balls with vicks,exacto blades,aspirin,q-tips,hone,wire, plastic tube,copper wire,wire saw,ss wire,safety pins,emory board,chalk,tooth picks, lense. Yes, it's packed,but will fit in my back pocket. My key ring also is a tool kit of sorts with boy scout sparker, exacto blades,hacksaw blade in a plastic tube with cotter pin, 4 1/2" steel tube cut on an angle hypodermic needle style the taped back together and drilled on one end to accomodate the saw blade and cotter pin. The tube is sharpened on the other end as a punch, with a pencil slid inside. My wallet contains a razor blade,a large needle and thread, silk to magnetize the needle for use as an emergency compass, and a p38. I also keep dental floss,knife,my gerber tool,and a zippo with extra flint inside. My dad,Boy Scouts,search and rescue, and a stint in the militia, have all helped make me aware that sometimes even with people around I may be on my own. Self reliance is our best reliance...Lars
