[@theaveragewoodsman6002]

I've found that the Altoids size survival tins are better suited for specific kits. Something like a fire or fishing kit, they're just too small for an all-encompassing survival kit.

[@sunsets232]

Well it's better than nothing

[@quinn5200]

I wish they had included a truck full of concrete and a Home Depot. I need comfort to survive.

[@BibleStudent4U]

they also make great sewing kits, plenty of room for travel size thread, scissors, buttons, safety pins, needles and a small knife

[@buddybellwether2188]

NOT true! Just because you can't make an "all-encompassing" kit doesn't mean that others can't. These aren't meant to go camping with, it's what you can easily carry on your person everyday. Mine has never failed me!

[@buddybellwether2188]

+True Blade They make tiny sewing kits that would easily fit into an altoids kit. I have one that has sewn more buttons back on than I can count.

[@tidemann5426]

Lets take a moment to appreciate that this man just caught a fish with a Cheeto!

[@bassfishingwiththeantichri2921]

It looks fake to me, because there's no tugging on the thread and they almost didn't show the fish at all in the first try, pretending that they lost it.

[@buy.almond3358]

[@kendon81]

....yeah it can be used for sealing wounds and for fires

[@kendon81]

skeiiy. You dont use a straight needle for sewing wounds

[@stevealesi489]

Not toxic enough to matter in a survival situation. Plus the benefits are far greater than any risks. Super glue will help seal a small cut and prevent anything from getting into that wound and potentially making it larger or infected. I've personally used super glue in the area between my eye and eyebrow before and it worked wonders. Healed in a few days and left no scar.

[@edwardosanchez4748]

Oven roaster bags (Turkey bags) make sturdy, compact, and heat resistant water containers, that you can actually boil water in with patience and caution. They are also extremely budget-friendly.

[@Marc83Aus]

Best way to use one of those to boil water might be to half fill it, then carefully place fire rocks inside, putting the heat where the water is will make it easier to prevent the bag from coming into contact with something above its melting point, you want to make sure you don't drop the rock right inside though. Alternatively, take everything out of the tin and heat the water inside the tin, dumping it into a bag as it boils.

[@UkrainianBazooka]

@@Marc83Aus alternatively, you can boil water inside a water bottle. Sure it may not be good for you, but it'll keep you alive.

[@scottryker4888]

@@SuperAhmed1337 no sir, even the most experienced woodsman knows better than to walk off into the middle of nowhere with nothing but a gimicky, rinky dink "kit" to bet their life on.

Have the knowledge and experience, but also appropriate and reliable equipment.

[@crabtime2116]

@@scottryker4888 I agree and disagree with you. I feel like that kit is better than nothing and it's tool are useful in a pinch. On the other end for not a ton more space I feel like you could do better.

[@angelus_solus]

@Lackofcompany "Better than nothing" does not equivocate to "reliable" and anything less than an 8 oz rectangular tin ( www.ebay.com/itm/8-oz-Rectangular-Hinged-Survival-Metal-Tin-Can-Container-Box-Use-For-Crafts-NEW/222584025385?hash=item33d30ab129:g:--sAAOSwuLZY0WKm ) should not even be thought of. Even John Wiseman, (26 year combat veteran in the 22 SAS, SAS survival instructor and founder of Delta Force, who became the U. S. Special Forces) recommends using a 2 oz tobacco tin as your canister, not something you dug your last breath mint out of.

[@2TheAbbeyClinic]

I include some Altoids, in case I get an attack of halitosis.

[@legoEndeavourStudios]

Oh my God, r/notkenm

[@1xayekim]

I dont make them as "survival kits" but as situational kits. They make great protective and easily identifiable storage containers. When Im camping or hunting - I have separate kits for fire, spices for cooking , blister kit, cleaning kits etc. They also make for great repair kits for bows and firearms, when you are out in the field and instead of buying little nylon zip bags you just get these guys wrap them in duct tape to reduce the noise and you can write on them what they are. My bow kit - has an extra string, bowstring wax, wrench, silencers, 2 replacement knocks and a set of replacement vanes. My gun kit has cleaning patches, oil and a brush for each caliber that I own along with some epoxy, and mini punch tips for field repair. Ive used all of these kits pretty consistently when I am out. I wrap the tin with duct tape then I cut around the opening and the hinge so that they are quiet against other gear because there is nothing worse than the sound of the tin slapping other things in your bag.

[@BladeHQ]

Love it. Good advice here. I think my personal complaint about the Altoids tin is the weight. I do a decent amount of backpacking and I like nylon stuff sacks because they're lighter. -Ben

[@1xayekim]

That makes a lot of sense. I do not do ultra-light (I mean look at my weight Im ultra heavy). I tend to always have altoids so I like re-using the tins. They also make for great screw/ fastener containers and other small part containers. Glue a magnet strip underneath them and then mount them to a board for a screw keeper for when you are doing fine detail work as well.

[@titaniumquarrion9838]

Really the weight of an Altoids tin is something worth complaining about? Sheesh I'd hate to be your trail buddy. If you do a decent amount of back packing your strength and cardio shouldn't be crushed by the gargantuan weight of a mint tin....

[@1xayekim]

When you do ultra-light hiking / hunting, Yeah it is. I know people who cut their toothbrushes down to the brush to save ounces... They are a bit nutty indeed but they are out there haha. Personally, I use them simply because they are a cheaper container than buying those maxpedition bags at 10-50 dollars a piece.

[@ginofoogle6944]

i'm kind of wondering what the weight difference is between a tin and that sack.. since we are actually discussing weight. lol

[@criticalthoughts2605]

i actually made a city urban survival kit it contains 2 crack rocks in case a crackhead tries robbing you just give him what he wants, a joint incase you come across gang members usually they become chill, 1 condom incase you have to get down and dirty for 20 bucks and a bail bonds card incase you are framed by police. it saved my life.

[@hurricane3518]

LMAO

[@cogsworth2634]

Cops don't gotta frame you if you carrying weed and crack??

[@calebmullen5107]

The point of these is to have them ON your person, your not going to take the large survival kit with you on a day hike or day hunt it's more than likely going to stay in your car. No ones taking these out on multiple day expeditions thats where the large survival kits are needed .I can tell you from experience these are very nice to have on you and work. Very ignorant for you people to call these useless and dumb. These are a hell of a lot better than nothing. I suggest you put one together you'll be surprised as to how much you can fit in them and how much they can help.

[@eachday9538]

cave man7 Exactly, it's a pretty simple concept, weird that so many people don't seem to get it. You scale your kit based on how much you are able/willing to carry, and if you can't carry much an Altoids is better than nothing. Only thing I would say is that I would still carry an Altoids type kit on an expedition close to my body as a first tier of equipment.

[@dylanwight5764]

My pocket kit is a redundancy I carry on my canteen pouch. While, yes, it contains a useful minimum of everything I'd need if things go south, it's hardly a long-term solution. The practical application for these kits is simply as a redundancy. You can survive on them, but it's going to be strictly uncomfortable and difficult. Carry them, build them so that you can effectively rely on them, but don't use them as the main component of your survival kit. Their practical purpose is to supplement your main kit, not to replace it.

[@eachday9538]

I agree to some extent, although I can see situations where it would be reasonable to consider an altoids kit the top level of gear you are carrying on you, for short periods of time at least.

[@dylanwight5764]

Well, their primary purpose is for short-term assistance. If you plan on staying a while, carry a more comprehensive bush belt. That goes without saying. Pocket kits are supposed to represent the absolute minimum useful items you need. Nice to have, but don't consider them your first line of defense from the elements. I know I'd much rather have a cotton-fleece sleeping bag and a proper hootchie than a space blanket any day to rest in, but a space blanket will do fine if it comes down to it.

[@eachday9538]

Yep, it's not a bad thing to point out their likely limitations in real world scenarios, some people might put too much confidence in them, I just think it is silly at the other extreme when people say they are worthless. ;-)

[@iamfuckingyourwaifuandther2743]

I have a couple of altoids survival kits that I have stiches into one of my jackets that I use when I go bike riding in the mountains and had to use them once and was glad I had them.

[@Cetok01]

I have made several 'Altoid tin' kits over the past few years. My view is that, in addition to certain specific "one-off" items, other contents serve to satisfy the "two is one, one is none" survival axiom. such a kit provides minimal resources to help the lost get through 2 or 3 days, while awaiting or moving toward rescue. In addition to a small folding knife (so it can be safely carried in a pocket for immediate use), I use straws extensively as mini-containers, including a minimal fishing kit (15' mono line, 2 small hooks, 2 split-shot), honey (as a small energy boost and minor wound dressing and antiseptic), vaseline-impregnated cotton balls (tinder), waterproof matches, 2 fish lure type)mini-chemlights, 4 pain-relief caplets, and more. I also include a rolled-up supermarket produce bag to use as a water container. After adding those and other items I seal the tin with electrical tape and wrap it with 10' of paracord. I normally carry it on my belt in a small, cheap camera case, which also has room for a pocket survival blanket, which helps with basic shelter.

[@squatpuke]

[@doctorartphd6463]

I have a general purpose kit, an emergency fire starter kit and a misc. kit.

I use a somewhat bigger container and have sturdier but similar stuff in it. (Like real fish hooks.). My signal mirror is much larger, and it’s handy for checking my lipstick, lol. However, I always have a short, sturdy single blade pocket knife, a LOUD distress whistle & a quarter-sized flat screwdriver from Sears in my pocket on my key ring, so I don’t need to put so much in the tin.

[@jerryhickam3976]

I turned a mint tin into a candle kit in case I was in a place I hung out and a power outage hit. Razor blade for cutting an aluminum can into a lantern, 2 tealight candles, lighter, 1 inch piece of cord for measuring the can for cutting the lantern. I glued a separate lid from another tin so I could have another candle holder, and I added pieces of aluminum foil for the upturned lid so melted wax wouldn't be a messy problem. Good idea to carry a tin pocket kit! 🙂 Kits are built to a person's situation of course.

[@timlipinski2571]

[@ssechres]

It in fact depends upon what you put in them and what your expectations for the contents are. They would work best if you choose your own contents and field test it. And make adjustments. There are things that just won’t fit in an alto I’d tin, but that doesn’t mean they can’t be helpful.

[@JadeAkelaONeal]

I personally think the pen is a good thing to include because it can be taken apart and you can utilize the pieces differently, they're great for stabbing a hole in something easily, obviously you can write with them, depending on what it's made out of and how well constructed it is you could use the main tube to create a whistle or as a mini bellows for your campfire or you could make a dropper basically if you stab through a more flexible water bottle lid, squeeze the bottle, dip the pen and release and you'll get a bit of water with no time and little effort and then you can use it as a trail-bidet or to rinse a cut with more force etc

[@veronicamyers1626]

not complaining because this topic always enthralls me but how about a little foil folded down to fit to cook the fish, some magnet strip from the craft dept. in case you drop something in the dark (?), they could maybe even be on the outside of the tin to help keep things together & definatly a little something sweet like a piece of gum for a sugar kick other than : A- Okay

[@oxxnarrdflame8865]

Nice kit. It looks like you're ready for Alone.

[@BibleStudent4U]

I agree with Tim about having more tape and a simple way of doing this would be to wrap the whole tin in duct tape (or gaffer's tape if desired), this would be a very simple fix. As to a plastic bag for collecting water, it would take up a good deal of room in the kit, but the kit could be placed in the bag, folded up and then taped over with the gaffer's tape.

[@mog-gyveroneill2500]

This is something you'd keep in your car, or your handbag, it's the 'just in case, because you never know' tin. It was held together with an elastic band, but more cordage would have been better. A space blanket comes in a little baggie, so put the tin in with that. If you are trying to prepare for ALL emergencies, don't compromise with just such a small tin, a slightly bigger container with better stuff is key. For the sake of an oz or 2, if you're serious, don't settle for meh..

[@stevenengler2387]

Dang that is a really good altoids can that can save your life. Great set

[@CreativeRedundancy]

I find these useful to supplement what would usually be carried in ( any given situation). some people have specific task tins like fire , which are useful in there own way. Know the limits of any kit around this size. especially in bad gale force winds thunder storm or winter storm where having "more /full size items/gear to work with would be better.

Love the kit, but I prefer the 2oz tobacco tin size (Most old school smokers never complained about the size of the tins they carried everywhere) You could fit all the kit of an Altoids tin but with enough room for one of the most important piece of survival gear and one of the most over-looked, a space blanket. Plus the slightly larger tin can be used to boil 60 ml of water. The only time I would carry a Altoids tin if I made a Fire starting pack to compliment a tobacco tin survival kit.

Here's my take on priorities for a pocket survival tin ..first off I use a "Sucrets Complete" tin , it's deeper but not as long as an Altoid tin , it's much better 1) I think you need a good cutting tool even if its a big utility razor blade . 2) A flashlight, you want LED it's brighter 3) Either just a ferro rod or have 2 other ways to start a fire like matches and a Bic 4) A way to hold water like a freezer bag ,along with water purification tabs or you can boil water in tin foil. 5) Tinder like alcohol pads, tinder tabs, duct tape. 6) Stuff like Super glue, Butterfly bandages, duct tape for deep wounds. 7) Aspirin, something for fever. Diarrhea pills, heartburn medicine. Put them in a piece of a straw with the ends melted or just wrap them in tin foil
