Yet Another Survival Kit (but Small)

I know what you're thinking- its just another survival kit. But i mean come on, who doesnt love a good survival kit? Plus, this one is in a glasses case (cue gasps of surprise)
so strap in and get comfy guys, this is about to get crazy

So the shell of this is up to you. I used an old glasses case (seriously old- I used this case in high school!), but you can really use whatever. I would have loved to use something like a plastic jar, which could be used as a cup, but I couldn't find any empty ones. It should be small, but big enough to store everything in it.

In a survival situation, you always need something to cut stuff. I like to pack a flick knife (small sized blade), a fresh straight razor, a pair of small folding scissors, and a good old wire saw. Keep them sharp, clean, and make sure you know how to use them properly.

*Note- this is what's going in the survival kit. Usually you should bring a bigger knife along too, as well as other sharps you might decide to bring as your normal outdoor equipment.

In my handy little mint tin (which also doubles as a good tinder box), i keep some lures, some hooks (tape the barbed ends together so they keep in one safe group), some sinkers, and a small roll of fishing line. If you're in a survival situation, the thought of catching a fish is probably going to sound boring. But having a nice fish to eat when you're trying to stay alive will be worth that boredom. Keep in mind this is no heavy duty stuff- don't go trying to catch a great white shark on this gear

Adding some small keyring torches to your kit will really help. They might not provide much light, but they will help you see a bit better and others can see you better too. I pack my small keyring torch (the blue and silver thing), and this really cool light bulb shaped light i found. I keep some electrical tape wound around the light bulb as an extra addition.

A small disposable lighter is extremely useful for starting fires. The matches can work as a backup, or as firestarters if you need the help. Usually a small pack from a casino is enough.

I like to pack a small multi-tool for a variety of uses, and a small bundle of cable ties. These can be really helpful when you need them, and you can take them out if you dont think you will use them. And a tube of super glue is always loved, just dont get it on your fingers (or lips, if you're weird like me). Super glue is flammable, and it can also be used as an emergency wound sealant apparently (if any of you have done this- hit me up in the comments)

This kit is NOT the absolute answer to surviving. I tried to cover the basic parts of surviving- Fire, Food, Tools, Light, and some First Aid (the superglue). I recommend taking other gear, such as a small first aid kit (I didn't include one in this because I always take a seperate first aid kit with me, which means i have room to fit more stuff inside each kit), and a roll of paracord. Also, it's a smart idea to tailor your survival kit to what scenario you are going into- you wouldn't take a fishing kit into a desert. Also, it's worth remembering that survival is more than just having the right kit- there is a mentality to it, as well as many other skills and aspects to keep in mind and to prepare for.

As usual, I apologise for any grammar errors and spelling issues (us Australians have a weird way of writing stuff).

Be safe out there, and be sure to favourite, comment, and follow :) Peace!
