Good kit

I would recommend adding a knife. The knife is easily the most important tool for survival. Check out my new Altoids Survival Tin instructable for more insight on how I've incorporated a knife in my kit. :)

check out this: http://www.instructables.com/id/mini-pencil-for-survival-kit/
it's what i have in my kit

[bird765]

you need fishing line

[benny8025]

or dental floss without wax. it's very strong and takes less space

[jbee-1]

i just saw the "match" part of the dart would use a professional dart if your gonna try to kill something a match stick with feathers and a needle wouldnt kill anything you need weight

[jbee-1]

personally i think your dart idea isnt a bad idea if you leave the poison part out i hope your really not serious with the poison.... but a dart could be capable of killing a squirrel or chipmunk in survival situations you cant expect to kill a buffalo its small game you should focus on and as for being a good aim practice playing darts chipmunks will come within 10 feet of you if baited and they are larger then a bulls eye.... im gonna try to take out a rodent with a dart on my next outting thanks for the idea

[Welsh Dragonfly]

A wire saw takes up very little room, and can be extremely useful.

[Knot71]

And a condom for carrying water would be very useful...

[kristiambrose]

Wow.  I wont read all those comments, but for the first person asking what the plastic bag is for?  I have a list for you hehe.  I am doing a clients articles right now so I have a whole truckload of Survival Gear info right now :o)

Here ya go:
Trash Bag: Although this is an item you see in many households, it can be used for other things besides trash. Just a few examples include a sail, sail sled, kite, fresh water still, water container, floating device, poncho, transportation still, gear bag, lashing material, temporary patch, can be melted and used as an adhesive, camp shower or even as a winter coat.

Have fun!

[Kilsmer]

I've seen the plastic bags used on a few survival kits but I'm still not sure what they are used for, could you please tell me?

[ajsims]

Trash bags or plastic is almost a must in a kit. Every thing in your kit should me a multitasker. Bags are one of those multitaskers. A bag can be used as a poncho, to make a solar still, to waterproof your shelter, to catch rainwater, to carry or store water, …

[grimfig]

To carry some what large amounts of water, rather than your hands or something.

[Kilsmer]

in that case wouldn't something a bit stronger be better? when I read your comment i tested its practibility and the weight of water forced the bag to tear where i was holding it.

[brandon borick]

o you can boil water in them if you know the trick

[temp]

Okay i'm just going to get this out there,*clears throat*
in nice caring tone*This is to all the altoid tin survival kits, you can't put a respectable survival kit into just an altoids tin. Truthfully no survival kit is respectable. The best survival kit is the one you never have to use. Basically along with the survival kit instructables people should put in a guide on how to use their survival kit and just how to live off of little. People should also include links to whole web sites dedicated to survival, my personal favorite is: http://www.m4040.com/Survival/Survival.htm It is a very good site and has taught me much

[thefoodman]

lol that comment gets annoying after a while

[sharlston]

stop saying that

[temp]

sry. i just got wookid anoyed one afternoon so i posted it on like 8 instructables. =)

[brian250]

it depends where you live and what is edible.its no good to eat a wild berry that needs to be boild first to take out toxins.so you only learn what and where to survive where they make the instructional video.frogs in france are ok but in the amazon?????

[ERCCRE123]

that's a good idea! NOBODY shows how to use the survival kits they make also, i've been using the information in the link you put for a long time! im glad im not the only one who has seen that site

[Lectric Wizard]

Nice Inst. What is eraser used for ?

[lukeyj15]

Where can i get a tin like that in Australia???

[brian250]

Strepsils -at any store

[grimfig]

At shops that only import them specially.

[awang8]

At Sydney Harbourside Shopping Centre (the big glass one) there's a candy shop at sells Altoids $6 a tin of mints like that. First shop of the kind. I buy mine off USAFoods Australia cause it's cheaper ($4.42).

[awang8]

Wouldn't it be better to glue the striker to the lid? If you lose the striker, you're stuffed unless you know how the use the flint.

[grimfig]

Oh yeah, probably.

[poopmypants]

you might want to add some red flag thing I have one that says: DANGER DANGER DANGER

[AznPanda]

Looked through a bunch I think ill make this one but I'll add a few and take a few out.

[grimfig]

That is what I've done.

[AznPanda]

;D

[JamesRPatrick]

Just so you know, that bar is flint and magnesium, the steel part would be a knife(have you used it before?). If you don't want the bulk of a knife, at least put in a utility razor blade. It might not work with the bar, but it's better than nothing and takes up virtually no space.

[JamesRPatrick]

Also, with the deletion of the dart, I recommend replacing it with a tube of superglue. Most are flammable, and a sterile tube can work better than a band-aid on small, hard to treat cuts(fingers?). Superglue was originally invented to seal soldiers' wounds and get them back into combat.

[JamesRPatrick]

After you make all of the revisions, pack every empty cranny with paper, or some other flammable material. Use flash paper if you're experienced with it.

[survivor dude]

I agree with Tengu, you should learn how to use other methods of starting a fire. And also not all knives can be used on flints. Sometimes it will work but other times you can really screw up your only knife.

[s1a1t1a1n]

You could always chrome plate/paint the interior to have one of those fancy reflector/survival mirrors without taking up anymore space. Just a thought.

[Tengu]

One thing I would recommend: practice using the flint and steel! You don't want to have to depend on it when you haven't tried to use it in a few years...considering also, the times when a fire is essential for survival will be the times when it is hardest to start a fire. (wind, storm, snow, etc) I keep some charred cloth (cotton fiber cloth heated to the temperature of combustion without oxygen - catches sparks very easily, and makes fire starting much easier!) with my flint-n-steel. Nice kit and instructable.
