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

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!

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.

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? 🤔😋

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.

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.

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. :)

Proton Mail lol I was thinking the same thing! Haha. Nail clippers, USB, whistle. If shit hit the fan or got to the point where you need a moral support picture of your son those numbers, USB etc wouldn't work. And you would get shot before you pulled out that tiny knife. 4 quarters wouldn't even buy you a skittle. Just keep change in your cup holder, a charger in your car or pocket. Lighter also. Use your teeth instead of the clipper. This is hysterical. I hope you don't need your SHTF tin.

Bobby G. The whole point of this is that it isn't a survival/shtf tin. It's just an everyday tin so you don't have to root through your bag/car for some change or a lighter. It just makes life easier

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?

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...

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!

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. I wrapped some small 2lb test line around the outside of the tin and then covered it with electrical tape. Just my $.02.

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! =)

“Card knife”, EDC all inside wallet unless you packing then pockets that zip or snap on holsters are great. Hand cuff keys and extra knife under shoe soles or under a band-Aid on foot maybe throw a little catchup on it to make it look real. You want to be-able to be mobile and move fast. Having a few gold coins or bars doesn’t hurt; unless a solar flare happens then you may feel quite hotXD if you have in your pocket or bag.
