I think this is the most incredible 'no BS' approach to an urban survival kit that I have ever seen on youtube! Congrats on the good work! 👏

You managed to get a load of important,
& useful stuff in there!
Keep smiling!

Hi from the UK. Excellent video. So many of us that are interested in this are always considering how far we can scale down a practical survival kit. This has set a new standard.

Love the sewing kit in the plastic straw!👍

I side with everyone sending their congratulations on this kit. Ingenious! I'm going to replace the two large waterproof matches with a book of matches giving me more chances at fire. I believe I might exchange the single, medium cable tie with two or three smaller ones. Well done!

UKG - Thank you for your Mini-Altoids Emergency Kit video.

Haven't made that small of a kit. However, it has merit and would be a good, light EDC addition to a jacket or pants/shorts pocket.

Now I'm thinking of putting one together... you never know when you might have to "MacGyver" something in a pinch (in addition to having a SAK, of course).

Probably would add a Tourtoise Gear mini-ferro rod... it's small enough to fit and would be a backup to the matches. (Have them on my SAKs - but would add another to the mini-kit as well.)

Happy Trails!

Hi Jc. I like the practical approach you follow with your videos. I would perhaps consider adding a mini light source apart from the Glow stick. Also see if you can add an additional fire making source. Maybe an extra match? Bring out a version 2 and 3 if you will. Regards.

I've been using one of those mini altoid tins to carry Tylenol and benadryl for years.

Years ago on the now defunct "BritishBlades" forum we had great fun with this concept. Sal Glesser from Spyderco joined in and one of the reasons for the size of the tiny Spyderco Bug was to fit a real knife into these tins. I am aware there is another reason which has to do with air travel and is why Sal would wear a Bug on a chain as a necklace. Add a Bug to this. Your kit is decent but you should also add a small mirror for signalling

I think this is probably the most useful survival contents you can fit in such a small tin.

[Olyphoto]

Well done. You managed to pack a lot of functionality into a very small space. I can’t think of anything else you could fit other than maybe a TicTac.

[pagger]

Could you do a video of you surviving only using this for 24 hours

[nickcarrillo]

Do you think a p-38 can opener would fit? 1 1/2” inch. Would be nice to open a can or just to puncture metal and not ruin your small blade.

[dalecarr]

Well done. I’ve tried this before and it’s not easy to put many useful things in it.

[williammardin]

Love the real good supplies also put some fish hooks and line may we have enough room 😅

Water purification tablets and a small plastic bag for water

I don't know if this is your only whistle that you're carrying, but if it is... I would strongly advise to remove it and carry it in a more readily available fashion, as having it concealed greatly reduces the "emergency use" factor. I carry a small, 3d-printed whistle that's attached to one of my backpack straps, so that I can access it within seconds.

[sageata_verde]

I dont see the purpose of them, you will swap them everytime you change clothes? I have all of those in the EDC i never go out without, aka wallet phone and home keys. and those are into my jeans pockets, and if those go, i'm pretty sure that no amount of EDC will actually help. Ok the glowstick is nice, might put one in my wallet to have for emergency situations.

[NightLinks]

Why didn't you add one or two purification tablets? That's if you carry a drinking vessel with you.
