DIY Portable Medicine Cabinet! be prepared with this durable "on-the-go" First-Aid Kit. Great in emergencies when away from home. holds tons of stuff. It's rugged "Compression Coupler" construction makes it very durable and is 100% Waterproof! handles high impacts and pressures (and is airtight) so it's great for anyone with an active lifestyle (hikers, bikers, climbers, campers, boaters etc...). *Compression Couplers come in all sizes (so chose the one which works for you) and remember to bring it with you! (i'm storing mine in my cars' trunk).

1.) one PVC compression coupler (found at any home store)

2.) short length of PVC pipe.

3.) two PVC end caps

4.) PVC pipe cement

cut two short sections of PVC pipe (both 3 inches or so) and sand down the rough edges

using PVC pipe cement, attach the end caps to the pipe (see above pics). once they're dry, just insert each into the compression coupler and tighten the ring (on the compression coupler)

notice the large rubber washer. it comes with that. you just drop it in and add the threaded ends (it comes with those too). then just push the pipe in and hand tighten the threaded end. it makes a super tight seal. the unit is extremely durable. works well in harsh conditions.

all the stuff you see in the above picture will fit into the unit. notice that you can fit stuff in the ends as well.

no leaks... and notice that it floats too!

1.) you can fill it with valuables to keep them safe and dry.

2.) you can store fire starting materials in it.

3.) ...and anything else you can think of (maybe as a hide-a-safe?)
