I've seen dozens of Altoid Tin and similar survival kits here on Instructables and elsewhere. Many of them are quite good, while others--both home bu...
I chose a small stainless steel container for the contents, sealed with a fitted polyethylene lid. I picked it up at a dollar store, and it was marke...
Here are the contents. Most items should already look familiar, but I'll go over things in detail for the ones that need it. Many of these items are...
