DEFINITION:
"A mini survival kit is a small survival kit which consists of the most essential outdoor survival tools and supplies which are the hardest to improvise or replace. A mini survival kit is intended to be carried along all the time and is usually designed to complement other survival tools carried along in a larger, separate bag. Other personal gear will primarily offer additional serviceability and ease of use, but the mini survival kit should provide for the basic needs of a survival situation, followed by self rescue, assistance, or a return to normalcy in optimum situations."
My Urban Altoids "EDC" Tin (Version 2.1) is not designed as a standard "survival tin". While the items listed in the above description would be extremely beneficial in an outdoors emergency, the majority of items have little use for EDC (Every Day Carry) purposes in an urban environment. Instead of carrying a bunch of items that I would most likely never use on a daily basis, I redesigned my kit into more of a "convenience" that have a higher probability of actually being used in an urban environment. This would be an extremely poor kit to carry in the Amazon jungle, but highly beneficial to have at work, home, out of town travel and during errands in an urban environment.

Thank you for watching this video! I never would have thought that this little Altoids kit video would pass the 1 Million views mark. This version of the kit is over 5 years old now. Here is a link to my latest version of the Altoids EDC Kit: kzbin.info/www/bejne/g6qwf5x3g8Z9qLM. I hope you enjoy seeing how this kit as evolved over the years. Cheers! ~Cliff

[@countloco592]

LMAO... Please don't call this a survival kit ! Nail clippers ? Seriously ? I'd hate to see you out in the wilderness trying to survive !

[@countloco592]

There's something that SAS survival guide can't teach you ! Real life wilderness experience. You( anyone ) can read a book about survival all you want but if you( the people reading survival guides ) and don't practice, apply that knowledge to real world wilderness experiences it pretty much does no good ! Because there's much more you will learn being out in the thick of it, applying what you know , you'll never learn the best, a better way to use the skills.

@TheUrbanPrepper I am a a bit of a "prepper" and love the outdoors. When I saw the contents of your EDC kit I wanted to be critical as they lack any of the every day items I use. As I patiently watched and waiting for the end of the video to post some critique or negative comment, I slowly began to realize the genius of your kit. You are just in a different type of forest or jungle than I typically am in. Yours is the concrete jungle/office. Your kit began to make perfect since to me. I realized I was the one lacking the preparation. So I am going to make a nice little city tin like yours, and honestly looking forward to it. For all the Armchair survivalists bashing the video, they just lack the intelligence to sit through something that doesn't make since to them long enough to try to see the other persons point of view. Afraid to learn something... I learned a lot from this. Thanks for posting!

[@hillynath69]

"This is going to be a quick video", Read's out entire list of emergency contacts...

[@gaggiggable]

Very redundant and most items are for city/office folk that will freak out before going to EDC kit if shit happens - this is one of those " I cant get that time back" videos...if half of your "EDC" kit contains items for making sure your nails look good, something to pick salad out of your teeth, 1 pill so you dont shit yourself, spare button with kevlar thread (wtf?), whistle for someone violating your personal space or having a collapsable pen - then you need a purse, not an altoids can

Ikr lol. Not to mention useless. 911 can direct you to all those numbers. Or 411. What u should have is a list of the emergency services number for various countries. "Whats the number for 911?!" Its no joke. I mean it kind of is. But 911 wont put you through to local law enforcement in all countries. Its 111 or 999 i think in the UK for example.

[@hexadecimil]

that shirt would weigh a ton. especially sized for an Internet troll ;)

[@Christian_Prepper]

HAHA! But really, lace up your boots with 20 FEET of 550 PARACORD!!! I laced up each boot with one end of a 10' length of 550 paracord (1100 was too thick) & with the rest of the paracord I braided it with a series of slipknots & tucked this braided excess under my paracord laces. The very last end of the braided paracord is used to finish lacing/tying up my boot. Now when I need cordage I can momentarily untie my "paracord shoestring" & from only one end, pull out as much as I need, cut it off & still be able to re-tie my shoelaces! So with the exception of my dress shoes & one pair of tennies, I walk around everyday with 20' worth of 550 paracord & unless people take a close look, no one ever really notices.

[@billyandrew]

Christian Prepper I've a paracord belt.

[@billyandrew]

Edgar Avila Weave, not knit. Lol.

[@clemkadiddlehopper7705]

I used to have little kits like this. I'm older now and have found that coming up with solutions on the fly saves pocket space and promotes ingenuity. If I had a handy kit for problems I have each different day, the kit would have to be different each day and still be big as a 5 gallon bucket. Just prepare your mind by being smart and you won't have to waste your pocket space.

[@richardminnick6797]

The best EDC kit is between your ears.

[@ihaveabeaoproblem4694]

its easier to stay prepared

[@Northanteus]

It's not wasting space by keeping a small tin of items in pocket. You're only limiting your ability to deal with situations the less gear you have on you. That's up to you, but don't tell others they're wrong for wanting more options to work with. I say each individual chooses what they want, some less, some more. I prefer more options, within the weight and size I can put up with on a daily basis. Some people carry less than you, would you listen to them and leave home with nothing in pockets? 🤔😋

[@Northanteus]

@@richardminnick6797 And that brains memory has learned enough lessons to rightly tell me that the more items I have in my pocket, the easier it'll be to deal with random situations throughout the day. 😉

[@brasstrombone9]

I have no idea why people are giving you shit. Sure you are probably caring on you more than I would but it isn't my place to judge what you carry. I copied you and made one of these tins for my car and love it. I have used it multiple times the past few months mainly for my lighter and multitool. Thanks for the great video and thanks for taking the time to share what is important to you.

[@TheUrbanPrepper]

brasstrombone9 I figure it goes with the territory of making KZbin videos. I usually check out the channels of people who "give me sh*t" and I have never found one where they too post videos. I feel that those that actually make videos to upload on KZbin have a good understanding of the amount of work that goes into creating one, especially ones that require a lot of planning, and therefor see things from a wider frame of mind (such as yourself). Sure, I would not expect everyone to want the exact same contents as I do. However, I feel that the organization and strategy could be leveraged towards custom tins of their own. So in the end, I usually take the extreme negative feedback with just a grain of salt. :)

[@biancad6289]

TheUrbanPrepper Years have passed here and I am just passing through Your expression stopped me when you wrote ((So in the end, I usually take the extreme negative feedback with just a grain of salt.))Which made me give you positive feedback and Thank you Sir for Uploading the video and make time to share some thing from your heart

This is good! This is an EDC. Something you can throw in a shorts pocket with your wallet and keys.

Altoids recently started (at least in my area) selling the little metal folding top tins/canister things. I find for anyone carrying earbuds take three fingers and wrap starting from your jack to your actual earbuds the entire cable length semi loosely around your fingers and then tuck them inside for a good way to store your earbuds. they stay untangled and protected

For all those times when I’m clipping my nails and sewing during work.

[@ChrisWolf75]

Maybe not but certainly great for when you travel and need to sew something or clip your nails. It's a handy little tin when your on vacation or away from home.

[@BenRangel]

Nail clippers underrated: happens surprisingly often you get an annoying skin tag or chip a nail it’s just nice to be able to cut it off with clippers - a knife or swiss army knife scissors are not great substitutes.

[@RandomButtonPusher]

I used to carry a Swiss Army Spartan knife -- very basic, large blade, screw driver, awl, toothpick and tweezers, I think. And a cork screw. The latter seems a bit esoteric, right? Then one day I was at a small conference that had a reception at the end of the day, with beer and wine provided by the organizers (not catered). I was chatting with another attendee when I heard someone call out, "Does anybody have a cork screw?" About 40 people laughed and shrugged their shoulders. As I walked over and handed them my Spartan, they were amazed...and I had quite a few new wine-drinking pals. A couple years back I was the only one on my floor of about 20 offices who had a small flashlight ( 2AA Mini-Mag) when the power failed. All my brief cases/"man purses" and computer bags have a flashlight. Why wouldn't you? The point is, EDC is a very personal thing. No one has to be a death's door from lack of a paper clip to make it a simple, useful tool to have when needed. Yes, I was a Boy Scout. "Be prepared" is about mindset. It is as much about learning to think (or more) than it is about what gear you have stashed away. BTW, my key ring has a Micra on it and a micro flashlight. Those who believe pre-thinking your possible daily requirements for handling small problems is somehow paranoid are "non-thinkers." They will be the first to piss and moan when they can't open their wine...and will be the first to trip over each other in the dark when the lights go out.

[@tman4620]

Very well said +1

[@rent2242]

You are so right! I carry a Swiss Army knife, small flashlight, and other small basic items in my backpack. It’s not like I’m hoarding and my backpack isn’t stuffed to the gills but it just gives me a peace of mind. I was in the military so I too have that preparation mindset. Some friends make friendly jokes about my edc carry but we have been in situations where my gear was needed 😎

[@kitsunesden8085]

Ah! I see you're men of culture as well! I always carry with me the Swiss Army that my mom gave to me like >20 years ago and some analgesics just in case. The memory cards it's a plus if you add some official documents in it if SHTF (earthquakes, hurricanes and stuff like that).

[@lynnej.9357]

Assuming you have a wallet, this is for emergency cases, hence why the quarters aren't in a priority position.

[@AmstradExin]

in that amount of space, you could get either 4-6€ 1000-1500 Yen just in coins. If you are in an european city and your car rans out of gas, you can actually either put some liters into the tank or if you're hungry, 1500 yen (3 relatively flat coins) in japan get you a very very generous lunch. So this is not as useful in the USA anymore to hide coins. (:

I subbed just for the fact that you handle rude commenters with such a calm manner. Well done.

[@allmagicguy]

Thank you for this. I really want to say this is a good video for people. This kit is put together for real use. Mini Survival kits are nearly useless just due to the fact that 99.9% of people will never be in a survival situation. But nearly every one may get a splinter, need to sew on a button, or get caught in a room where the lights can go out during a storm. This is a great kit that should point people in a more realistic direction. Never hurts to carry "tools" you might need to use than carry a bunch crap you'll probably never Need, Good thinking mate!

[@alessandrozuffi5068]

Well, I say that this is a very helpful EDC, compact and complete, don't pay attention to the haters, this things are not only useful, but a training to your mind, to imagine various scenarios, what can you need, how can you use it, and stuff like that, it's not simple as someone can think; good job again.

The mini Leatherman deleted the need for 3 of the things you have in the tin and opened up space for other things. You should look in to maybe putting mini chem lights in your tin as well That flashlight won't last forever. Also in your smaller tin, maybe some water purification tabs for that off chance that you are in an SHTF situation and you need water. I don't know about you, but I ain't drinking the water in DC. I'd drop the quarters though. In an emergency situation you're not gonna need to worry about putting money in a vending machine. In my tin I have fishing hooks and a few small sinkers.

Hey Cliff, Listen I just had something come up here at home with my mother and it made me think it would probably be a good idea for you to share this with your followers. You see my mother is prescribed several medications for a condition she has that mimics Diabetic Neuropathy. This means a couple of the meds she is prescribed are heavily regulated narcotics. Thing is, my mother like so many others carries so back up meds with her at all times in her purse in a little zip lock baggy. All the time not realizing if she were to be caught with these without her prescription she would go to jail. I don't think a lot of people realize that, and I know many people carry back up medication with them in various forms. Perhaps it would be a good idea to share this with your followers to inform them as well. Having been a state constable here years a ago I knew this and thought it was common knowledge, but it appears not. Have a good one! =)

Dang I know I’m 8 years late to the party, but if you sold pre-made kits like this I’d buy a few in a heartbeat

[@elijahparker7655]

Agreed. This is so practical. I would pay up to $20-$25+ tax

[@SuperGustav123]

Thank you for the great ideas and useful items to consider Keep your great content! Hope to see a 2.3 update

[@cynicalgenius3977]

Just in case I don't have the will to survive, I would include a 50ml bottle of booze and a cigarette.

[@jio-lito]

This was great!! I just thought of the Altoids case I have had in my car for a while and was about to throw away cause they had expired... I will throw away the altoids, but after watching this, definitely not the case!

[@TheUrbanPrepper]

Ulises Corado Awesome! Please keep me posted on your upcoming Altoids Tin project. :)

[@josephcontreras8930]

I reuse recycle all types and sizes of pocket sizes of tins and fill them with useful things according to use and need in my work locker car glove box my nylon lunch bag and carry gum-mints in a small altoids tin. The possibilities are endless.

[@dKoushlyab]

Great Video and Great EDC!! Thank you for including th PDF and clearly stating the tools included in your Altoid Tin!

[@365survivalist]

You got to have a great memory to put it all back the right way.

It's really impressive just how many EDC items you can fit into an Altoids tin. It's truly inspirational.

[@JazzyMamaInAK]

Thanks for reminding me to get a new Micra; TSA took mine off my key chain. Since we have snow on the ground at least 70% of the year, I like a red or orange lighter so it can be found if dropped. Also, thanks for sharing your list.

[@Rangersly]

Wow! I'm impressed on how many useful items you could cram into such a small container. Good job sir!

[@LarkinJackson]

This was the video that got me started on my prepped journey

[@tetsubo57]

My wife just got me a Victorinox SwissCard for my birthday. I think it would be perfect for a survival tin. I also think a Newman's Own mint tin makes a better container as the lid is flat and the tin itself is slightly larger.

[@AntonAdelson]

+tetsubo57 Yeah, I have the lite one. And it fixes the need for tweezers, pen, and a flashlight found in this video. Although I'm guessing it is better be kept in the wallet rather than a tin like this.

[@tetsubo57]

+Anton Adelson The problem with that is the plastic can suffer stress over time. My old one broke. I made a guard for my new one to prevent that from happening again. In a tin it would be safer.

[@AntonAdelson]

tetsubo57 May I ask you where you keep your wallet? The reason for this is because I keep my wallet in a bag and I imagine it'd go through a lot more stress if it was kept in my pant pocket. Especially the back one.

[@AntonAdelson]

+tetsubo57 I'm guessing a cargo pocket is different from what I've just said.

[@MeZillch]

Good stuff. I like how your EDC survival tin has it's own internal survival tin. Ha ha.

[@raisingconsciousness777]

really cool list, nice! I just bought a leatherman micra myself recently. It's already been useful

[@lylibu]

I really like how you repeat things at the end of each description. . Very helpful!

[@rorybristol9041]

I think we all should have bought stock in Altoids prior to going public with this updated era. I really wonder what the impact of "prepper' purchases have been on their sales? lol keep up the good work.

[@TheUrbanPrepper]

I totally agree! At least we all have really fresh breath.

[@rorybristol9041]

[@photographeratlarge]

There are some really great ideas in your video. Well done and I've incorporated a lot of them. The second tin idea is great. I added a paper ruler (free from IKEA) to wrap the nails, string and matches into a bundle. Thanks!

[@n.joylife1521]

Wow! Absolutely amazing. Lots of thought went into this. Great ideas. When I was younger (around 1975), my brother and I designed a First Aid Kit that fit into a Colonial Drum shaped Boy Scout neckerchief slide. Sure, it was a little on the large side (about 2" x 3"), but everything needed in a pinch was included. This kit is really ingenious. Fun video!

[@TheUrbanPrepper]

N. Joy Life Thanks a bunch! I'm glad you enjoyed it. It was cool to hear more about your background. Have you seen Version 2.2 of this kit? I really like it. :)

[@magdalenebecerra8475]

[@TheUrbanPrepper]

Haha... Awesome!

[@paulwolf2775]

Nice. Most people don't know, that the Altoids Survival Tin, goes back to World War 2. British commandoes and Allied agents needed a little survival kit, that wouldn't attract attention. Altoids were already being issued or bought as breathe mints, and were small enough to fit in a pocket. Very interesting, idea for several items that could be hard to keep in your pockets.

[@TheUrbanPrepper]

Awesome comment, Paul! I loved the historical information. Thanks!

[@elboregojhb]

Every culture in the world has some kind of EDC kit so I don't understand the hate. Daily tools that will need or could use to make things easier, what's wrong with that?

[@josephcontreras8930]

Like a boy Scout always be prepared. Something like this edc tin is great to carry in a back pack when your going to a big city like Seattle or Portland and going on a walking shopping tour by metro bus.

[@Doncarpenterradio]

This is pretty awesome, but I have a two word suggestion. Word economy. This could have been a 5 minute video. You'd get a lot more response if it were shorter.

[@billyandrew]

DonCarpenterRadio Word economy, remember? Lol.

[@jebstewart666]

Interesting vid. I have kept Altoids in all my vehicles as a breath mint, of course, but when they are empty I have turned them into two burner candles. Good for backpacking. Waterproof matches taped inside on the lid. Also good for power outages. You have given me some new ideas for their use...like how many candles do I really need? (although I have started giving them away as gifts in the last few years) thanks!

I love the emergency numbers in case your phone's dead. So....how are you going to call those numbers with a dead phone?

[@Twinspinner]

luvmykids71 4 quarters

[@brentkilgore5478]

Don't let a "clever" way of thinking limit your thought process. The numbers in case your phone is dead - useless on your dead phone. Emergency situation with a dead phone : 1) Someone comes by with a live phone, and you don't know the phone number of a single person you know. Opps. 2) Someone comes by with a phone that works, and you are able to meet up with whoever due to this miracle you were prepared for because your though process is not limited by....YOU. b

[@geezusLive-OF]

Billy Andrew you do realize a person might need phone numbers without society falling apart, right?

[@johncallahan2934]

thank you for sharing tha, that's the kind of a nice little tin to carry around I'd recommend having two or three of those one in the car, your possibles bag or purse and leave one at the house and maybe another one chucked under-seat if you can't find the one in the glove compartment that way you're prepared and thank you again

[@cheridehart8625]

I love the Altoids Tin for many uses. This video is very interesting.

[@carlos722]

I thought there would be an even smaller tin inside the little one. Tins all the way down.

[@tannercall1021]

Don't you get sick taking all those items out for just a toothpick, or a USB cable or anything in that tin for the matter? If I had that I would just wait till I got home for a nail clippers instead of wasting time taking everything out, getting what you need, then having to put everything back in. I just don't see it as a practical use, it will just waste your time. How do you deal with that?

[@annunakim525]

I have some only for emergency so i won't open them. For EDC i dont fill them up too packed. It will keep some things uncrushed and you know where it is always... Need a light? In the box in my pocket. I always know where it is and if i have it with me. Some things like fire, light, rope. I work alot with rope and boxes so a small knife is fine to put in because i use it often...
