Great video. I almost spit my coffee out when you were showing the Bobby pin and said so casually, “or, if you need to pick a lock”.

@@NDW1955 lmfao 🤣 gotta do what you gotta do. Thanks for watching 😊💕

It's the Mary Poppins bag of altoid tins! So many useful clever things in there.

[@TheHandbagConnoisseur]

It sure is! Thank you so much for watching!😊💕

[@beccabbea2511]

There is so much in there that it’s a Doctor Who’s Tardis Tin not a normal tin. Excellent, thanks.

[@TheHandbagConnoisseur]

Love that! Thanks so much for watching 😊💕

[@katherinek8448]

Right???? Ive never seen such variety in an EDC let alone in an Altoid tin! ❤❤❤

[@SunniNomad]

I have to say I'm more impressed with this video and comment section than others. I've watched EDC videos for 10 years and have had an edc for 20 years. People can be so bossy in the comments especially the more prominent male KZbinrs. People don't understand it's your edc not theirs. Thank you for sharing

[@pueblodove]

your welcome, I have been obsessed with tiny things, and making things since I was a kid! So it comes naturally to me. Another thing I have to use is for water in a compact space, is a knee high nylon, and grocery store produce bag. You can collect water with the nylon inside the bag to filter the water id need be, and if clean, the bag can go in the nylon and fill it for stability.

[@SunniNomad]

@@pueblodove that's great advice! On Waypoint Survival he taught how to dig a hole, put a plastic bag in secured by rocks, pour water in and you have a sink to wash yourself/clothes then just put the dirt back after taking out the bag. I like watching hobo survival, weird I know, yet they were smart.

[@pueblodove]

@@SunniNomad right, they have a lot of good ideas, ReallyBigMonkey1 has so many clever ideas, and inventions! I love watching that channel!

[@TheHandbagConnoisseur]

Aww thank you so much that means a lot. Truly appreciate it. Yes people have a lot to say, but I don’t let it bother me bc this is what works for me. Thanks for watching! 😊💕

[@lindaroyal8161]

Very thorough assortment of "just in case" items. House key, good one. Also suggest a card/paper with emergency contact person and a few phone numbers of friends or relatives. Since numbers are in phones, now days, may not remember them. I keep an Altoids tin in my purse and in the console of the car, keep a larger one made from recycled wet wipes container. A place to keep things sometimes needed without taking up space or weighing down a purse. A few feminine products, a bit of toilet paper, a few paper towels, etc

[@Jen.O]

contact sheet: I have made one sheet, small font, with friends/family/doctors etc. including numbers and address, also med prescriptions etc. it folds up into the size of a business card and I keep it in my wallet. I use it frequently even though my phone has same info this is easy.

[@TheHandbagConnoisseur]

All great ideas! I will add phone numbers to mine. Thanks so much for watching!😊💕

[@TheHandbagConnoisseur]

Great idea! Thanks for sharing 💕

[@ChipChoc00]

That’s so cool how you can fit so many important objects in that tin! Thanks for sharing

[@TheHandbagConnoisseur]

I was amazed how much I could pack in that tiny tin. Thanks so much for watching 😊💕

[@suzanneoffer3577]

I would love to make these for gifts…so clever

[@TheHandbagConnoisseur]

What an amazing idea! This would make a great gift! Thanks so much for watching 😊💕

[@brenda5511]

I think you could also use your empty tin as a signaling mirror- it wouldn’t be perfect, but it would work.

[@TheHandbagConnoisseur]

Oh really ok that’s good to know thank you so much! 😊💕

[@mitchellatwood4865]

You might want to check the storm match, they need a special paper to light. It’s the red phosphorus strip that comes with the matches. That match is not a strike anywhere match. Interesting kit.

[@golden_raisins]

I love the tiny pencil nub haha

[@TheHandbagConnoisseur]

lol isn’t it the cutest thing 😂 Thanks so much for watching 😊💕

[@mares4636]

I have one in the glove box of my truck. A few additional items I have: a Band-Aid, a few inches of duct tape wrapped around the pencil stub, a small Carabiner, a folded square of aluminum foil and a safety pin.

[@christineulrichsen9613]

Excellent video, full of good ideas. Because I wear glasses, I would include a glasses repair kit or at least a tiny screwdriver and screws that work in the frame of my glasses. Thank you!

[@TheHandbagConnoisseur]

Good idea to add a glasses repair kit since you wear glasses. Thanks so much for watching! 😊💕

[@pueblodove]

I carry Survival stuff in my purse, I have a little stainless steel tin to cook a little in, or boil water with some coffee packets and cream in it. I also have a little Altoids tin, not the smalls, I made it into a little stove. It has a few ways to make a little fire in it, and it is so compact and cute. I also have a little ear bud type thing with nails screw in hooks, fishing stuff, tweezers, salt in small straws, paper clips, safety pins, needle and thread, etc.. I also have a small flat pink camo case knife, and a small multi tool with pliers and scissors, the pliers can be used to handle the little tin while hot on the mini stove.

[@TheHandbagConnoisseur]

Omg that’s amazing! I need to be prepared like you! How did the Altoids tin stove work out? I’m going to have to try that. Thanks for sharing all your survival items and uses. 😊💕

[@pueblodove]

@@TheHandbagConnoisseur Thanks, I made the stove from the tin that when you lay it on it's side the label is on top, and it opens on the side, not the smalls or the regular. So on it's side, I used an awl and tapped holes in the top and a few in the bottom. About the size of a toothpick. Then I punctured 4 larger holes in the top to position the little pot, I use small flat screws to rest in the 4 holes to elevate the thing you cook in. How it works is you put a tiny fire inside, or wetfire, and the flame comes through the holes to cook with. the holes on the bottom are for air draw for the fire, and with the top(side) open you can put little twigs, or small fatwood in to keep the fire going. When you make it, you can use a penny or 2 at the bottom end to make better balance when the lid is open, or wherever you want to make it even. I store the screws, and penny, and some small hunks of fatwood, a tiny trial size perfume vial with dish soap, and one with olive oil, plus a tiny tin with dryer lint mixed with vaseline, a tiny bit of it will take a ferro spark, or tiny spark wheel spark. I also have a tiny piece of rag for cleanup, and a small brass pencil sharpener to make shavings from a stick to burn. I keep the spark striker with the small cook tin I use with coffee and some salt in it.

[@SunniNomad]

What a wonderful kit and idea!

[@musictoliveby08]

@@pueblodove Is there a video on how to make this?

[@s.fernandes7560]

Like the little sowing kit. What I did is replace the colors I do not use or own for more natural colors. For instance I never wear yellow and almost never wear red. I took those colors out and replaced them with colors i actually wear a lot

[@TheHandbagConnoisseur]

@@s.fernandes7560 that’s a great idea! There are some colors I don’t wear. I may just do the same. Thanks for the idea and for watching 😊💕

[@queenbunnyfoofoo6112]

You did a great job packing all that in the tin. The only thing I'd change would be to carry your flashlight out somehow. If you're suddenly plunged into darkness you don't want to be trying to fumble for it and spill stuff from the tin.

[@TheHandbagConnoisseur]

Thanks for the tip! I have the same light on my keychain as well. Thanks so much for watching 😊💕

[@queenbunnyfoofoo6112]

@@TheHandbagConnoisseur I can see where that would be a great keychain light. It's small and looked really bright!

[@Jen.O]

@@TheHandbagConnoisseur I keep a head lamp in it's tiny case at the bottom of my purse, even tho everyone says "why don't you use your phone as a flashlight", I don't want to run that battery down.

The trouble is that I find these most usetwhen travelling, but half the things are not allowed on flights (or certain other places)

[@WitchOracle]

I find myself wearing the wrong shoes in a lot of situations, so my EDC first aid supplies include little strips of moleskin (adhesive backed fuzzy stuff you stick to your skin BEFORE you get a blister to reduce friction) as well as one or two blister bandages (they are gel like so they cushion the blister and they also drain some of the fluid to help with healing). I haven't had a blister burst or get infected in years with these with me!

[@TheHandbagConnoisseur]

Moleskin and blister bandages are a great idea! Thanks for watching 😊💕

[@donutcare9680]

The nail clippers are good for cutting lose threads.

[@TheHandbagConnoisseur]

Yes it is! So many uses 😊 thanks so much for watching 💕

[@Jen.O]

@@TheHandbagConnoisseur does the nail clipper include a nail file? I thought I saw that too, if not, I always include a nail file--it gets used often!

I change meds in all my edcs before they expire. Very important to do so. Thanks so much for watching 😊💕

[@customMadebyACLD]

Thank you so much for sharing this. I don't carry a survival it but have an emergency one. Since i have sickle cell it has a lot of medical things. I also love to craft so i carry scissors, rulers, pens, papersand all types of crafting tools that i guess can be used as a survival kit. I'll have to get some of the item you shared so i can create my own it. Thanks again.

[@TheHandbagConnoisseur]

@@customMadebyACLD glad to hear you’re prepared especially since you have sickle cell. Your craft items can definitely be used for survival in some way. Thanks so much for watching take care 😊💕

[@customMadebyACLD]

@@TheHandbagConnoisseur I learned the hard way that I needed to be prepared for my disease. And now that I have a son, I'm even more prepared. He doesn't have sickle cell but he's a kid. My friends always joke by saying 'Ask Aissa. She probably has it or something similar in her bag. Lol 😂😂😂

I don’t carry an everyday carry kit unless I'm traveling, but thankfully I've never had to use it on my daily activities. Not even the glass opener bottle ( for the occasional glass coca cola drink) But I still love watching these kinds of videos. I'm wondering if you have any instances where you have needed to use this knowledge, whether as a lifesaver or just during a random day.

[@TheHandbagConnoisseur]

I have responded to multiple emergency situations where I needed some edc items and my car edc items. Other than that most used items in this kit would be first aid kit, meds, hair tie, tweezers, scissors, Gerber, flashlight and nail cutter. Thanks for watching 😊💕

Be careful about keeping medication outside of its original packaging. This can look bad if you ever and up being searched by police for whatever reason and it’s even illegal in some places. I like to carry the small medication packets that you get from the gas station instead. Love the video!
