Large Survival Tin

This tin is bigger than a tobacco tin about three times the depth and a bit longer.
I needs to be waterproofed but it will keep all my small items together and still fit into a side cargo trouser pocket.

This kit will hopefully help me to stay alive longer if I get lost while hiking or if SHTF in a remote area.

Closed


Open


Unpacked


Top to right we have :
Cable ties
Knife sharpener can be carried around the kneck- if you blade becomes dull , i would want a real easy sharpner not to be using rocks/quartz and could damage your only blade.
Mini glowsticks
spare ferrocium striker
Scalpel blades
Wire Saw
magnesium block and ferricium rod
signal mirror
Sealed bag - 30 Aquatabs , plasters ,gauze , various dressings, steri-strips , 4 immodium , gloves & 4 co-codamol.
BG Scout - partly serrated
Camera film case full of waterproof and strike anywhere matches and striker
Cut smaller tea light
Firestarter tin - with swedish firesteel with whistle , charcloth , birch bark , cotton wool & vaseline and a bits of rubber innertube.
Three black knife blades secured by a small bolt. these have holes/grooves in them for easy lashing.
Pencil
Waiting on the paracord - going to wrap that around the knife sharpener.
Fishing kit - see below.


The case unzips to reveal glow sticks , 15lbline and two tins.
one full of hooks of all sizes and one full of wieghts/shots fake bait and lures.
This kit can also be removed and attached to a belt or strap if not needed. Making space for more tinder or foraged food. I think I need to add more line possibly wrapping around the pouch.

Added some camo 
Closed Top


Closed Bottom


Full of goodies


I insulation taped it to make it completely waterproof (doesnt float tho )
then camo taped the top for easy stashing , added a few zip lock bags , small cloth square for filtering , foil blanket , few more painkillers and wrapped around the side with paracord.

Still fits in cargo pocket or nicely inside a mess tin in my BOB.
