Pocket survival kit - Leatherman Wave

I am always on the lookout to carry less with me at all times. I have keys, a wallet, a cell phone, a multitool, a folding knife, a pen, a lighter, portable gaming device.... The list goes on and on. I determined that my necessities are my keys, my wallet, my cell phone and my multitool. When I looked at my multitool and its' case, I saw a lot of wasted room. As I added more and more things to the case, it turned into a "survival" case that I would be OK with carrying around all the time since I already carried the Leatherman Wave+case around.

Feel free to post what else you would put in yours in the comments.

Also, I know everyone has to say it once...but this is my first Instructable. What can I do better?

Step 1 What do I want to carry

First, I had to figure out what I wanted to carry around. This is my list.

1. Leatherman Wave
2. Case for Leatherman Wave
3. Lock Picks( tension wrench and two picks)
4. Small Bungie
5. matches + case for matches
6. Pen
7. Flashlight + case for flashlight
8. Zip ties
9. Speaker wire






What else should be in here?

i think , we must need energy tablets to survive, tool kits only screw out the things ..

i know you used a keychain flash light, but i found the best fitting and brightest flash light is the maglite solitaire

HI!

Nice work, but I don't will call it as "survival" kit, because you have very few survival things on your kit. It's better call it as "emergency" kit.

To make it work to survive, take out the speaker wire, the lockpics, zipties and that bungie, and place instead some band-aids, a small roll of duct tape, some medicine, tweezers, water clean tablets, fishing hooks and wire.

Good Job!

Jealousy, iv been watering over the wave for the past week. To bad i only have $50, a dead xbox to replace and concert tickets to pay off.

I did the same thing with a pocket widgy, a small pry bar, from countycomm.com.

i have a mini widgy but it came with a lego rc car..it was made for prying apart the special paices of the car.

Great use of space! If you put a strip of cork, you could use that to prevent getting hooked, and as a bobber!

[dawsonj]

this is great but is it supposed to go in your pocket??? is quite fat.

You can put it in your pocket. I usually wear it on my belt but to be more discrete, i put it in my pocket next to my cell phone. The main thing is you are not adding that much bulk to the original case and you are maximizing the space in it. Thanks for the comment!!

Great use of empty space. Well detailed and documented. Thanks for the ideas.

[ewalk]

Thanks!!! Glad you liked it

Try placing a first aid kit. But I wonder how you'll fit it in there

[pagangod]

cool beans, very well done. how about some fishing line and hooks and a sinker?

[ewalk]

Good idea! Maybe wrap 10 to 20 ft of it in some electrical tape/duct tape to keep it compact. That would easily fit in there. I'll add it to it. Thanks for the Idea
