I'm rethinking the knife and possibly the matches. I've made a small 2.5" blade from a sawzall blade that fits in the tin. thanks to M4040.com for the idea, but on this you have to make a handle for it to really work, and it does quite well. (Video real soon!)
If the world ends, im comming to you! This man is so proficcient at creating useful things from scratch!~ Love your videos, keep up the neat/great ideas!
Thanks Gary. The fishing supplies, stocking, water purification tabs I found at Walmart.
The tin that started this idea last Sunday was purchased at my local coop. A small altoid can may work. My can measures 2-1/2" x 2" x 5/8" thick. The light and waterproof matches at a local well stocked True Value store. The rest I had kicking around the house.
No I haven't, although I should seeing I have several large single pane windows myself.
There are a lot of items that didn't make it into this tiny tin a whistle, knife, fire striker, saw, wire, space blanket etc. I had to pare everything down to the bone. I could have just had a button battery and bulb or just the compass disk, but I wanted some things in tact. For me, knowing what I know and the environment I'd be using this in, I fell this tool box would work fine in most conditions.
I always carry a small kodakzi8 video camera in my pocket, to protect it from dust and lint and water i insert it in a plastic zip loc bag, which could be used as a canteen. a magnifying lens card will fit in a wallet and can be used to start a fire. A sabiki rig would take up as little space as your hooks and you would not need bait.
I lked your light and selection, a small foil packet of anti bioitic would be handy
Great. My only other suggestions: Vaseline soaked cotton ball or jute section in a small zip-loc in case of needing dry fire starter when wet wood is only option. I also have a Swiss Army 'Classic' in my tin...
