1 - Decide how big you want your survival kit to be and cut out fabric rectangle to accommodate all inclusions. Mine is cut out of a 25" X 14"

As a male, I personally will never need the contents of the kit. Would it be commended that I assemble such a kit to have on hand in the event the women in my life ever would need it? What is the risk of injury or death, if I would suggest to a woman that she may need to make use of the kit?

Hey howdy!, I didn't invent it for you... ♥... I am not sure the male equivelnt would actually go in a "kit" ~ ~ how could I fit a sports car and a divorce lawyer in there?
I think it could be commendable to have one just sitting there under the bathroom sink," just in case" that's just me .... I am the understanding ~ thankful type.....however, if you ever would need to duck from a flying Kit... don't worry most everything in there is soft... you can handle it! Suggestions of those type are best made by other women, so ... Thanks for comments I appreciate comments muchly! ☺

The PMS survival kit for men is just a handgun.

bowmaster says: Jul 27, 2009. 11:25 AM

The PMS survival kit for ninjas is a sword, some shuriken (half poisoned half not), 10 pounds of C-4, 5 detonators (for the C-4), nunchucks, a grappling hook, and a blowgun with darts (half poisoned half not).

terryann (author) says: Jul 20, 2009. 9:02 AM

for you ? wait it out... things get better given enough time.

Hieu says: Mar 9, 2010. 10:31 PM

Listen to Terry Ann. She knows.

On one hand, it sucks guys can't make useful stuff like this, on the other, I'm glad we don't need to. :)

The bag could be useful for other things though, like peripherals! everyone needs an extra mouse around. USB cables and bootable linux CDs too! Duct tape is an essential as well. *thiking of other things I carry* lighter, knife, flash drive. What else? Chap stick. Maybe a bit of emergency cash for times of craving a new toy. ]
Geek survival kit.

Guys can make this stuff. In Michigan, every kid that goes to public school must take a cooking and sewing class in junior high. It's called "Home Economics". Michigan has been doing this since the early 1980s.

He means something such as a pms kit, for men. However, men don't get periods, and such.

cherishedpotato says: Apr 9, 2009. 8:31 PM

a thoughtful (or frightened... or kamikaze) guy could make one for a partner, or relative or friend? nice ible :D could also contain a squishy stress ball :)

This would work great as a gift for someone who is going through a break up, just add tissues and a DVD and you're all set! Great idea!

AznPanda says: Nov 20, 2008. 6:06 PM

funny.... make one where it has real stuff for when u are stuck in the wild...

shelleyjo says: May 19, 2007. 2:47 AM

How about a PMS emergency kit for guys: earplugs, fake smile on a stick, romantic "You are beautiful to me" card or sticky notes (to give to avoid or following a blow-up or crying jag), a massage manual and oil, and a tape recording of "yes Dear, whatever you say dear" over and over and over.

chuckr44 says: Sep 26, 2008. 10:12 AM

Too funny! How about another sign: "If it makes you happy, just buy it dear."

terryann (author) says: May 19, 2007. 12:59 PM

Funny funny... I love that! right in with the spirit of it all.

Dalya says: Mar 29, 2008. 6:39 PM

This is the most funniest instructable I have ever read here so far. So unique and hilarious. I know the chocolate fix, during my cycle, I feel nuts when I can't get chocolate. Awesome. I'm too lazy to construct such an awesome pack of stuff x.x I get snap at my twin sister, then she says "You are P.M.Sing" my reply "You idiot, what the hell?" Haha :D

terryann (author) says: Mar 31, 2008. 12:27 PM

Thanks so much I needed it so I invented it.!

Der SchmetterlingsjÃ¤ger says: Mar 16, 2008. 9:59 PM

Aah! I was going to make an I'ble on those rice bags, since my Grandma made them. Beat me to it, with a better, lavender-scented project. :) Do you really want everyone to know you've got PMS though? Most annoying thing ever when everyone's like "oh, must be that time of the month, eh?" wink wink, nudge nudge. Especially when you're not. Good job, though! +1

BatGrrl says: Dec 1, 2007. 4:29 PM

Even better- for you peeps out there who aren't a "Crafty Beaver" - Just grab one of those "Crown Royal" bags, and make a Shrinky-Dink plate to cover up the embroidered logo. Throw in one of those mitten heaters that hunters and skiers use in their gloves. Some are disposable, you can find ones that are reusable and are reset by boiling in water. As for "gift tags"- some pet supply stores have a vending machine to make dog and cat collar tags. A fun little note made with that is the finishing touch. No sewing necessary!

In photography class, those Crown Royal bags were *perfect* for our gear - they were fleecy, well made, and contained booze!

Lol, i always keep a spare pms chocolate bar in my locker at school. i might make this

terryann (author) says: Nov 14, 2007. 8:09 AM

I always found myself needing this stuff.... in an emergency!... so I finally just put them all together in a way I could use. Yep... I needed this first, then it just seemed natural to create it.

marthasinstitches says: Jul 24, 2007. 10:17 AM

This is GREAT! Love it, and having PMS right now, sure could use one of these...he he...

terryann (author) says: Jul 24, 2007. 11:57 AM

Thanks... I have the 'need' myself and that's why I thought of it.

dottyral says: May 19, 2007. 7:08 AM

Great job Terryann! Your instructable and photos are terrific!

terryann (author) says: May 19, 2007. 12:59 PM
