I have collected over 20 of these tins and one day decided to put them to good use.

Altoids tins work the best but any small container will work well.

The supplies I have in my tin are fine for a short situation.
1 box of waterproof matches
for fire starting
2 a small packet of fish hooks
for catching food
3 safety pins
for a sling or bandage
4 small knife with built in tweezers
for cutting, removing ticks/splinters etc.
5 a tissue tightly coiled with string
a tissue can be used as kindling
& the rope can help in shelter building
6 a pocket stove fuel pellet
this can burn no matter what the conditions
7 a small bag of painkillers/anti virus
if you become hurt or sick these could save your life
8 two wrapped razor blades
these can be used to skin an animal or make a fuzz stick
9 dental floss
works as fishing line or very tough thread
10 three band aids
11 a variety of nails
these could be a finishing touch to a shelter
12 two sewing needles
for medical and sewing
13 reflective tape
although not as bright as a starflash the tape could help
14 the tin
the tin can be used for boiling water for purification or cooking food

Water Proof It

I covered the outside entirely in duck tape to waterproof the tin.
This will keep the contents dry and still viable for use.

I hope you liked my first Instructable. I f you have any better ideas or additions please comment.

Happy surviving!
