My Altoids Survival Kit

If you spend any amount of time in the woods it is a good idea to keep a little survival kit with you.  You never know, especially when out in extreme weather, when you may need to build a fire quickly or spend the night out in the elements. 

A kit is no good if you do not carry it with you so a small size is essential.

Here is my current Altoids Kit:

The contants are:

2 types of dental floss
pencil
compass
water purification pills
hacksaw blade and firesteel
cotton ball soaked with vaseline wrapped in wax paper
fire tablet
bic lighter
waterproof matches
safety matches
sand paper sriker glued to the inside of tin
signal mirror
treble hook
sewing needle
curved sewing needle
razor utility blade
small fish hook
3 position LED light
safety pin

Each of these items has a few potential uses...refer to my dental floss blog :-)
