Introduction: My Survival Pack (M.S.P)

I'm the type of person that likes to be prepard for just about anything so I created a survival pack with one thing in mind, It's better to have it and not need it then not have it and need it.  I wanted the basic survival Tool Plus other things  I thought would be use-full. Also it's starting to get colder in Minnesota where I live so I have added some good cold weather gear too.

Step 1: Main Container

Main container is a lager metal coffee container. It Serves as the survival can plus water purifacation ( boiling ), cooking food, water storage. There is 100ft of orange paracord, 50ft black paracord wrapped around the coffee can. you can never have to much rope!

Step 2: Fishing Kit + Yo-Yo Reel + Sewing Kit

I used an ALTOIDS tin to hold the fishing gear, there was room to put the sewing kit in there to. Never waste space.

Fishing kit contains: inside an altoids tin
2x razor blades tape to the lid
1x 30-40FT braided 27# test line (wrapped neatly)

1x extra large circle hook not needed but it fit and I had it on hand
2x wet nap useful and they help keep things from rattling around
1x Yo-Yo Reel (No room in tin put in coffee can) A yo-yo reel is an auto hook setting reel extremely useful in A survival situation works kinda like a tape measure

I Think it's a pretty complete kit Minus a few things that I need to add.  
The Pack weighs around 15 pounds not bad for all the stuff in there.
There is plenty of extra room in the back pack for more items.
Change it up make it work for your needs and environment.
