The best survival kit ever

I'm going to show you how to make a inexpensive waterproof survival kit for a budget of $20-$30.
You may notice that I don't have a compass, that's because there are other ways of finding north.

Step 1: Materials needed

You will need
3 cotton balls( fire tinder)
Cable saw (easily sawing branches that are in the way or to make a shelter)
flint and striker( for starting fires)
Matches( waterproof, only use as a last resort)
Leatherman squirt or other compact multitool(useful to have)
backup blade (if an other blade breaks)
al foil (cooking, collecting water)
space blanket (warmth and shelter)
paper (writing on to keep up morale)
pencil (writing on the paper)
band aids patching up pesky cuts and as a patch-up tool)
Torch (seeing in the dark, signalling)
whistle( signalling)
nails of assorted sizes (shelter building, attach to stick for spear)
teabags (to make tea, duh)
3-5m of paracord (obvious uses, tying stuff together)
Not shown:
Duct tape
seatosummit waterproof bag

Beggzie11,

Can you tell us, what is the short black cord item, with the orange clip?

And, what is the Redheads item?

Also, what is in the little white and purple containers?

Thanks very much.

I stored my emergency supplies in new paint cans I purchased at hardware store. One in the trunk of my car and at home. It can possible be used as a floatation device. I think everyone should have a kit.

[Beggsie11]

This is my first insructible so tell me if you see any mistakes

[Lorddrake]

a good job peter. But you may want to go into a little more detail, and give a bit of explanation for some of the items.

For example .. why do you have the assorted nails in your kit?
