great video explaned very well lots of good idea but please tell me what you can do with the nails we just cant figure it out (no hammer) the only thing we could think of is that if you are in the woods and lost you can mark a tree to see if your walking in circuls. but i sead if you got a compass how could you walk in circuls...

@richardheadIII

You can use them for lots of things, for example making a spear, fishing hook, and for hanging things on.

you could put the striker on the lid with some tape, and Ithink that there is too many fire making tools 2 of them is enough. And some water cleaning tablets are useful too. (for mini kit).

@ZapeZeam

Thanks for commenting. 

I thought about putting the striker on the lid. There are 2 Katadyn Micropur tabs in there. And I believe that you cannot have too much fire starting implements.

@charper3006 sorry I didn´t saw those tabs and I didn´t heard u saying that. (I´m not so good listening and speaking english). I´m From Finland :)

@ZapeZeam

LOL. Thats ok.

Just a suggestion...you might want to add a whistle to your kit. They have those flat orange marine whistles at walmart and they slip right in between your cordage and the outside of the tin or with a ranger band...just something I do that you might want to look at.

Keep the nails, good source for repairing things, drilling holes, etc.

nice kit! i would say to get rid of the tea and boulion cube, and the 2 nails, and the fresnal lens, then u would still hav 2 ways to start a fire, a last resort, make fire with wood and wood, the nails, those u wouldnt need, because u could make a peg out of wood, and the tea and chicken cube, u dnt need those, in a survival situation, u wouldnt need those because they would run out right away, and if u do get stranded, ur instinc ts will kick in and use other things, like the surrondings

In order to carry it on a plane, I would have to get rid of the razor blade, knife, matches, possibly the fishing hooks. However, you should be able to carry it packed in checked luggage. Just not on the plane in your pocket. Gotta love TSA regulations. IMO its would not be worth the hassle to attempt to carry it on the plane, I would just keep it in the luggage.
