Vinegar is better than peroxide, trick birthday candles are better than what you put in there. Also smaller hooks can catch small and large fish, a big hook will only catch big fish thus narrowing your chances of food.
Nice kit! It definitely needs a whistle (essential communication item) and a flashlight. You want to be rescued, whether in the woods or in a building collapse. The Bic can be used but clumsy and difficult to use if you are hurt; also not doable in an urban situation where gas lines might be broken. Sugar-free gum can be used to fill a cavity if need be. It lasts forever, unlike the dental kit material. Box cutter blade seems dangerous--straight-edged razor might be better. I use a small triple ointment packet. Crimping the tin closure ever so lightly allows for a better seal; putting a widish ranger band around the circumference (over the opening part) aids in closure and waterproofing.
Yes! I'm planning one to give to my mother and one for my SO, both of which are getting into survivalism. Definitely going to add some of your ideas in there!
I have come to believe the real benefit of an Altoids tin is containing a fire starting kit. Just that, no more. Every time I go out I carry a knife, tarp, etc, so just having a guaranteed fire is enuf to expect from such a small container. Matches, lighter, ferro rod, cotton balls. Good enuf.
Very nicely done. Definitely BTN. That being said…the idea is basically a last ditch novelty kit. But it stimulates the thought process to help an individual make better decisions about dealing with emergencies. WELL DONE
Holy crap I never thought of the match striker doing some sticky stuff. GOOD idea keeps it nice and secure. That moldable stuff super cool never heard of it and that figurine super awesome!!! Numerous new ideas I’ve not seen anyone else do! Huge like! Great little kit! I’m downloading so I don’t loose this video lol.
Love your kit but something important for u to know is that despite us all thinking hydrogen peroxide was wound cleanser for decades.... It's now advised based on evidence not to use anything but water to wash wounds. Antiseptics, especially hydrogen peroxide can cause the slowing of wound healing to sometimes an extreme level. The risks out weigh the benefits is what it comes down to. Also I also just learned Neosporin can cause antibiotic resistance and petroleum jelly w a bandage works just as well. "Soap can help if the wound is really grimy, but you have to make sure that any grit or dirt is completely rinsed away. Don't use alcohol, iodine, peroxide, or anything harsh that can damage the tissues and delay healing.12" Hydrogen peroxide is however useful for many other things. Just not wound care. :) Thanks for the video still great info overall
Hydrogen peroxide is used to debris foreign objects from the wound the moment that it occurs. It’s not intended for daily wound care. In a survival kit we’re using this to help you in short window of time until you can make it to medical care. Docs at my hospital Still prescribe Neosporin for small wounds on the unit. Pretty common practice. Thanks for the comment!
A condom makes a good water carrier takes up little room ( make sure you get none lubricated )+ couple of water purification tabs , mind you this was for your son so maybe a ballon would be more suitable, does the same job , (the condom is stronger though)
