Mini Survival Kits
Mini survival kits should supplement items that you should already be carrying, like a multi-tool and lighter.
The containers for such kits could be an Altoids tin, or a small tobacco tin. Although another waterproof material could also be used, the reflective surface of the interior tin lids can help eliminate the additional need for a signaling mirror. This list is a conglomeration of lists made by survivalists and generously shared. I can see these kits being helpful in vehicle glove compartments, with any camping equipment and even in our purses. Here are some of the suggested items:
- Razor blades
- Water purification tablet
- Tinder Tabs
- Keychain light
- 20 lb. Fishing line
- Lg Fishing hook
- Safety pins
- Wire Survival Saw
- Button compass
- Duct Tape, folded
- Teflon tube
- Twisted nylon line
- Sewing needles
- H.D. sewing thread
- H.D. Aluminum Foil
- Flint
- H.D. Ziplock sandwich bags
- Signaling mirror
- Magnifying glass
A large part of the challenge/fun is packing the items as small as possible. You want to get the most of the valuable real-estate found in the mini survival kits.
