Nano Survival Kit in Business Card Case

For a survival kit to be of help, you need to have it with you, so it should be small and light to be comfortable to carry. And a business card case takes very little space and is light. I had read a few instructables on survival kits when i found a few items in the shape of credit cards. I found an old case for business cards and thought this would make a nice survival kit.

Please note that this is a very basic list oft items that could come handy. It will not save you in a real emergency but it can be of help. So the author is not liable. Always prepare according to the situation you might face.
