A few years back I bacame fascinated with the SAS survival tin. At that time (pre-internet) there was only mentions in passing of what this wonderous life saving kit contained, what it was packed in (I had no idea what a "tobacco tin" was) or how it was carried. Over the years these and many other questions have been answered, but I never stopped liking the idea of carrying a small, easily concealed survival/escape kit. There are many on the market now, but I packed my first ones in small round ointment tins I found at work (about the size of Skoal cans). There was a survival and a first aid kit. The survival kit contained:
-About 10' fishing line wrapped on a sewing bobbin
-6 Strike Anywhere matches with their heads dipped in wax
-2 small & 2 medium fish hooks
-4 small fishing weights
-2 large sewing needles
-A handcuff key
-A utility knife razor blade
-Cotton balls packed in any remaining space for tinder and to keep it quiet
The first aid kit consisted of:
-2 Alcohol Prep Pads
-4 Bandaids
-1 Large patch bandaid
-2 packets of antibiotic cream
-6 medium butterfly closures
-A small, flattend roll of Transpor (plastic) tape
I still carry small kits, but with much better gear. Tell us about your EDC survival kits!
