#Altoids#Survival#Escape# Hello their and welcome. In this segment we go through the process and components of putting together my Altoid survival tin. So enjoy the show. Thank you and God bless😎
Lots of great ideas. One thing to consider adding is a small plastic pencil sharpener. They don't take up much space and you can sharpen stick to make stakes, traps, weapons, etc in a matter of seconds without dulling your knife. And the shavings make excellent tinder
Decent little kit, although it'll change quite a bit once you start to use it. Some things to consider: Don't tie knots in your bankline when wrapped in that manor, it'll be next to impossible to remove cleanly with cold fingers. Don't wrap multiple things on top of one another for ease of access. I'd suggest painting the tin with black high heat paint, so you can use it to make char material. Put your glow in the dark tape on one side of a sheet magnet and your reflective tape on the other side then stick the reflective side to the top of your tin in order to protect the reflective side and allows you to pull it out to use. Plus you might be able to magnetize your needle in case your compass fails. Trick birthday candles work better than the regular ones in windy conditions. Get a small button light instead of the chem lights, it'll last you longer and gives you the ability to turn it off when not needed. Zip tie under the button on your Zippo; nothing worse than having a cramped tin and having something depress the button and let all your gas go. Position your striker against the floor or side wall to prevent the matches accidently rubbing against it.
“The rubber’s not allowing me to push it in…it’s a little tight”...that’s what she said! Not a bad effort, all around. It’ll get you by in a pinch. Here are my thoughts as I watched: 1) The glow tape is an interesting idea, but I don’t think it will serve in the manner you intend. If the tape is closed up in the kit, in your pocket, how is it charging? It’ll be dead when you open the lid. Your only other light source is the tiny red glow tubes. Better to get an LED flashlight, like a Thrunite Ti3 (one AAA) or a Streamlight Nano (four LR44). The Photon Micro-Light Freedom II is a good choice, too, and comes in a variety of beam colors, including UV and IR (takes two CR2016 or one 2032, depending on beam color). 2) You’re right that the mirror tape is NOT a signal mirror. Would it do in a pinch? Maybe, but the UST Micro StarFlash is 2” X 1.5 “ and is the real deal. Do you want to trust your life to a piece of shiny tape that will probably be scuffed and scratched by the time you need it? Or use a purpose-built tool? 3) The Fresnel lens is a natural choice for an Altoids kit, because it’s so thin. Protecting it in its sleeve is crucial because scratches can impair its optical properties. I store mine in the lid; I didn’t have to trim it, either, as it fits nicely as is. By the way, it was invented by the French physicist Augustin-Jean Fresnel and is pronounced “fray-NELL”. 4) Utility blades and razor blades are designed to be used with handles, for a reason. They are unwieldy and dangerous when used in the fingers without some larger handle. I don’t use them in my kits. In fact, my Altoids tin kit includes a full-sized Victorinox Farmer-X SAK, with large blade, saw, scissors, awl, and the can and bottle openers / screwdrivers. Real tools. And it fits perfectly on one side. There are smaller SAKs with great tool sets that will serve well, too. See the RU-vidr MeZillch’s channel for several ideas on how to safely carry blades, including how to strip and modify a SAK for use in an Altoids kit. 5) The P38 can opener is a classic item to use in a survival kit; however, I typically don’t carry canned goods, I have never stumbled upon an intact canned product in the wild, and unless you imagine raiding someone’s hunting cabin pantry, I don’t see the need for it. 6) The Portable Aqua tabs will kill bacteria, viruses and cysts, but will not purify against heavy metals or industrial chemicals like pesticides, just so you know. Choose your source carefully. Also, remember that they take four hours, out of direct sunlight, to work. There are better options. And you might want more than two quarts. Check out RU-vidr Gear Skeptic’s channel for an in-depth three-part video series on water purification…outstanding! 7) Birthday candles will deteriorate over time, stick together and to everything else, and create a mess. If you are going to carry them, seal them inside of a drinking straw (go back to MeZillch’s channel for this methodology). Personally, I don’t use them. I prefer to use the space for a ferrocerium rod, my second option for fire after the Fresnel lens. 8) Are you embarrassed to say “condom”? LOL! These are typically not very tough. Hell, I’ve had them break during their intended use (no brag, just fact!), never mind out in the woods among rocks, sticks, thorns, etc. At the very least, you’d want a sock or a bag of some kind to give it added protection. I prefer to use CryoVac 1 quart bags. They roll up nice and tight and fit well, or fold flat, and are way more durable. Supermarket produce bags are a good option, too, and even Ziploc brand 1 quart freezer bags work better than a condom. 9) Suunto is the most reliable small compass. Their Clipper style can be taken out of the case for an even smaller form factor. 10) The Bic lighter is overkill, and a waste of space. First, it’s of limited use because it will run out of fuel, probably by leaking unless you protect it somehow. Second, practice making fire with a Fresnel lens and a ferro rod, until it’s second nature, and you can get flame 99% of the time with natural tinder. In my Altoids kit I carry a lens and a ferro rod, with two storm matches and a Tinder Quik plug as backup in wet conditions. 11) Wrapping the bank line, fishing line and thread around the lighter seems like a good idea, until you need the bank line first, or the fishing line. You’re going to end up with a tangled mess for sure. Store them each separately. The thread and fishing line can be spooled onto small sewing bobbins, and the bank line can be hanked. Coil what you want, and wrap it in a similar fashion to what you did with it on the lighter. Heavy duty carpet thread, Kevlar thread and even dental floss is a better choice than that cheap sewing thread. 12) I carry a sail needle, which is bigger and stronger than a regular sewing needle. I prethread it with carpet thread, and store in a sealed drinking straw. 13) I found it ironic that you stuck a single fish hook onto the lighter, then later showed us several pre-rigged hooks with leaders on the side of the frame at the end of the video. THOSE are what you should pack! Clamp some split shot sinkers on them, coil them and slip them into a small ziploc bag. Three or four should do the trick. Remember that you can potentially catch a large fish on a smaller hook, but you are unlikely to catch a small fish on a bigger hook. I carry three #4 and three #8 in my Altoid kit. 14) Safety pins ARE great. Get good sturdy large ones, like 2” brass ones. Four is a good number if you want to use them to rig a tarp or Mylar blanket into a shelter. There is a way to interlock them to save space (MeZillch again!) 15) I have some tiny glow sticks. I suppose they can be useful in certain circumstances, but I wouldn’t depend on them for illumination. I carry a couple of tiny green ones to mark my shelter at night if I have to leave it for any reason. To me they’re all but useless. Get a flashlight. 16) I’ve never been a big fan of wire saws. They break. Never had one that didn’t. ASE Best Glide sells a mil spec version that I’ve never tried, so maybe that is a good choice, but I have my SAK if I need a saw. Plenty of firewood laying around in most woodland settings that doesn’t need to be sawed. 17) As noted above, I carry two NATO storm matches, a strike pad and a Tinder Quick plug, sealed in a drinking straw, as a backup to my lens and ferro rod. The straw helps protect the matches from being crushed, and keeps the strike pad and tinder dry. 18) I would rather have a couple of large Bandaids (the ones with Neosporin already on the pads) than gauze. But I already carry a small IFAK with some state-of-the-art, hospital grade wound dressings and medications, so I don’t need first aid items in my Altoids kit. I get that the gauze can be used for other things, like filtering, or char cloth, but I don’t carry it in the Altoids kit. 19) Duct tape can be stuck onto waxed paper and this will preserve its adhesive better than rolling or folding it onto itself. I carry a 18” X 2” strip on waxed paper, folded flat. 20) Stuff I would add: 10’ of stainless steel wire (24 AWG) A slim titanium whistle An 18” X 12” sheet of HD aluminum foil A slim micro pencil and/or a space pen cartridge Three 3” X 5” sheets of Write In The Rain note paper 21) RU-vidr MeZillch is a master of miniaturization and innovative storage and carry solutions. RU-vidr Gear Skeptic has an amazing set of videos on water purification and another on the lightest, most calorie-dense trail foods…GREAT analysis! Andrew of Ranger Survival and Field Craft is a former Ranger who teaches skills better than anyone I’ve found online yet. Having said all of this, yes I have made an Altoids kit, and yes I carry one occasionally when I’m in the woods. My preferred kit, though, is to use a Maxpedition Mini pouch, because it’s roomier than an Altoids tin, and I can comfortably get all of the above in it, with room for a few extras (bandana, Mylar blanket, small water filter, etc.), and because it fits neatly in the cargo pocket of most of my hiking pants and shorts. The other pocket always holds the aforementioned IFAK, along with a 6” Israeli bandage and a CAT tourniquet. These items are always securely on my person, so that in the event that I get separated from my main bag or other gear, say by a flash flood, a raging river, a landslide, an avalanche, a tumble off a cliff, a rampaging moose…yeah, good luck!…at least I have some basic items on me to build a fire, erect a shelter, purify some water, maybe get some food, and signal for help or navigate out. I hope that even one sentence of what I’ve written helps you, or anyone else. I spend a lot of time thinking about this stuff, researching this stuff, playing with this stuff, and practicing with this stuff, and I hope you do, too. Good luck to you Sir! Keep on the sunny side of the street, and keep on keepin’ on!
I would rather have a ferro rod than matches, and add in a $10 bill for emergency meals /gas money. You might also need a second or third fishing hook.
I see where your coming from with the Ferro rod. Though it's entirely possible to put that on the outside tucked into the bands assuming it's the Ferro whistle combo. Also I would swap out the red or orange for blue, green, or white or one of each. Those snap lights also double as fishing lures.
You stopping by the McDonald's in the woods ?? Who the fuck is fishing in an emergency situation ? You need a day or two max until rescue. You'll be fine without food. Throw in some more water treatment. Jeeeez
I've been using my own zippo tin fire kit since I was a teenager. Trust me one of the last things you want is small but vital kits to blend in with your environment. I put hi-vis reflective tape on mine and also wrap a wide rubber/silicone bracelet around the outside of the tin covering the lip of the lid and hinges for descent waterproofing. Great ideas and video for sure. I highly suggest adding these two particular details to any small tin kit. You can see it day or night and reduces the chances of stepping on or kicking it, scattering and losing important items of your kit and it's waterproof.
First thought when video came on was " if you should lose or misplace it, you may never find it. " I leave mine the colors they are. I seal tin with multiple layers of electrical tape. Also put big patch of luminous tape on top and bottom of tin. I live 12 miles into a nat'l forest. Very very thick brush and ground clutter. If i lose something i may need all the help i can get to retrack and find that object. That is why i also hang NOTHING on outside of my pack or Molle trekking harness. One, exception.. Mil. tri-fold shovel. And it uses 2 Alice clips but also secured by a 1-ft paracord from shovel to pack or harness. Older, brittle Alice clips can snap and break if hangs on a high brush snag. Btw, electrical tape is used as bandaids too. It doesnt rip open a gash or cut like duct tape can.
My lityle Zippo case kit is what carry with dress clothes or suit. Thinner profile but carries what i need as a survival kit. Great little tins, arent they?
However, if you don't keep the lid open the glow in the dark tape won't work because it has to be exposed to sunlight in order to charge up so to speak
A couple of the single packs of Alcohol wipes, as emergency tinder, and maybe a foot long x 1/2" strip of gorilla tape. Even without those, one of the best Altoids kits I've seen... and I've seen a few !
What a great and well thought out kit! If I'm going to be in hot weather I always put the candle in a small ziplock or something because it will melt all over everything in there. Good balloons also make good water containers or to keep small things dry. Thanks for the great video!
Thank you. That's a good ideal with the candle and zip lock bag. I actually changed out my water container for something else which I will adress in a later video. Thank you for watching. Appreciate it much.
12:30 in: wrapping the lighter with layers. Tip... start with the hook and needle. Hold against the lighter, & secure with at least one layer of gorilla tape. Then wrap cordage and fishing line. This does several things. 1. Secures sharp tools so you don't lose them. 2. Protects hands from sharp tools 3. Offers a textured area so you cordage doesn't slip off the end. 4. Gorilla tape also may be used for a fuel source to prevent wasting lighter fluid. As a good rule of thumb is if you have to hold the lighter lit for 3 seconds, you are wasting precious fuel. Light the tape instead if you can't find other dry tinder in nature.
HINT : at your grocery store in the vegetable section there are thin but very strong plastic bags.. I have tested the ones from my grocery store.. and they fold up very thin.. and can be used to hold water..
I've done testing with both tea light candles and birthday candles, and I've come to like the birthday candles more because you can actually do more with them. You can hold them at angles for fire making and I've noticed they tend to be more reliable then tea light candles and my theory behind that is because you have much more wick to work with then tea light candles.
i always had the idea that this was just a gimmick but i really enjoyed the way that you went through every single item and i am amazed how many items fit in there. i now totally believe that this is a great idea to have it on the backpack or on your jacket or cargo pants. you never know when you might need them!!! thank you for the video!!!
Everything seemed to turn out pretty good. I was suprised how much I could fit in it. I think I will do a video on some of the items to see how well the actually will work. See u in the next adventure thanks for watching.
Duct tape, wrapped around an old credit card (or similar sized cardboard): Fits in a tin; Repairs broken equipment; Repairs broken bodies; Holds shelters together; Burns beautifully.
I've done similar kits. I tend to magnetize the needle as an emergency compass, and pre-thread it in case you're unable to do so under those conditions where you might need it.
Been thinking of buying a few sterile suture kits. They're pretty flat, small, and the curved needle comes with the suture thread already attached. One or two should fit quite easily into an Altoids tin.
@@SCSlimBoiseID Good idea. Just keep in mind that suture needles are very small, and are designed to be grasped with hemostats. You can get somewhat larger curved sewing needles in a set at Walmart and other stores with a sewing aisle.
A derma-safe razor might fit in there vice the box cutter razor. a little safer to use and transport once you start using the kit. Also, you could put a couple of "trick" Bday Candles (they have a little bit of magnesium in the wick) in there vice the normal Bday candles.
Love the flat OD green paint job! Looks great! Also, the glow tape and mirror duck tape are really good ideas! I would definitely dump the wire saw...(takes too much room and are unreliable)!I would add instead a Derma Safe knife and Derma Safe SERE saw. Both more reliable and safer to use. Also, a few first aid items would be a good addition. I think a whirl pak one liter emergency water bag would fit in place of the condom. Anyway, nice kit. Thanks for the video.
I love OD Green. But then I was in the military for umpteen years. My son said he was grown before he found out Duct Tape came in any other color than green. Hmmm, I think I need to paint the trim in my man-cave. I do love what he said, "my favorite color" lol.
Pretty similar to my altoids tin. Some things I have in mine: I exchanged the condom against a Whirlpak and I included an CRKT RSK Mk. 5 as a blade. And also A micro LED as a light source. I have a small Ferro rod instead of matches and I use these “trick candles” as they are not so prone to get blown out by the wind. Otherwise: great kit!
I carry lighters too, but I've had them fail often enough for one reason or another so I always cary a ferro rod too. You can get ferro rods in small sizes or large chunky ones. The reflective tape scratches up pretty easily so maybe put on 2 layers. The top layer protects the bottom one. If you want the outside to be low viz, cover the orange duck tape with some olive green tape. Maybe leave a corner of the orange visible in case you drop it in the woods though.
A tiny paper sleeve for the razor blade would probably be a good idea, and not be too tricky to rig up from some durable paper without adding much weight or bulk. Some cleverness could potentially lead to it doubling as a way to hold the razor to make it easier to use, too.
NOTE : I use a old gift card or one of those sample credit cards that come in the mail.. take some orange duct tape.. in wrap it around the card.. amazing how much duct tape you can put on without being too thick.. good for repairing things but also good to use as trailblazing/ marking tape.. Stick it to a tree or onto a branch to mark your path so you don't get lost
I find that any type of candles kept in a car will melt and make a heck of a mess. I also carry vaseline impregnated cotton balls in small plastic bags. They are great for starting fires, burn a long time as a light source, and are first aid for burns and chapped lips.
I have these tins that are similar to the same size as the Altoids but they came with a built in mirror inside the top lid!!!! I think it’s mints for women so they can check their face. Cool video.
That's clever storage if you never intend to use any of the cordage, thread, etc you wrapped around the lighter. If you needed the bank line you'd have to undo all the other just to get to it.
put a piece of ziptie under bankline it will be a lineclip for the fishing line and sewing thread and make a "slot" for the needle. I would also replace the sewing thread with 10m of 0,15mm fireline or powerpro fishing line. putting a 25cm leader of 0.25mm fluorocarbon with a 20mm loop on end on all hooks, much simpler to use with injured or cold hands than tying a knot on the eye of a hook. also a small fishing fly (size 14-12) or two (hares ear nymph with cul du canard "hackle" and second one with gold bead head) that way you increase chances of catching fish even without bait (then you can use fish guts for bait) tape the hooks/flies with leaders to the sheet for the magnifying glass
You could fit so much more in that. Mine expands, so i use those rubber bands that are on broccoli to close it tight. Abs again, a piecof electrical tape to keep it water resistant.
Because it’s super thin, I have used an old expired bank card/credit card and filed down the 4 corners so you have very sharp corners. Then, I took some strong duct tape, cut it to size and wrapped it around the expired bank card/credit card a few times to make it stronger to hold onto, for a better grip. As a bonus, you now have the duct tape when needed, not a lot, but maybe just enough. The duct tape can be used as a fire starter too.
Great video but I give you some ideas... - Use trick b'day candles... Fit it in a plastic straw an close the ends melting the plastic with a lighter. You prevent to get it melted in your kit. - Cover the edge of the blade with some electrical tape. You avoid to cut yourself. Or even better, get a Victorinox Classic SD (or a Victorinox Swiss Card if you prefer) and you get blade, scissors, lime, screwdriver, tooth pick, tweezers... - Put the glow in the dark tape in one side of a plastic card and the mirror one in the other. You can use and old fidelity card or something like that. You put it against the lid and you can take it out to charge the light or make signals without get all the stuff out. -A little light would be more useful than the glow sticks. - The striker for the matches yo can fix it in the lead so you don't lost it or have it in the middle when taking out the stuff. - A little magnet will be very useful to magnetize the needle in case you use it as compass. - Some cotton waxed inside of a plastic straw sealed as the ones for the candle would be a great tinder
I really like the way you incorporated so much in the Bic lighter. You could almost just carry that outside the tin in your pocket and use the room inside the tin for other stuff. I think some sinkers would be a good addition for the fishing part of your kit. The safety pins are a great idea, but I can tell by the fact that they were bent when you took them out of the package, that they were the totally worthless variety. Singer brand and whatever else you may pick up at Walmart, suck. They are not made of good steel, they aren't "springy" and you would be better off trying to make a repair with a pointed twig, seriously. A company called Dritz makes pins that are of good quality and not too pricey. Your choice of glow sticks over a button battery powered pinch light of some kind doesn't make sense to me. Those little buggers cost a lot for what they are and they don't have near the 10 year shelf life that a lithium button battery has. The argument for the gauze as a pre-filter is valid, but a couple of band-aids and a folded up coffee filter would be more effective for first aid and filtering, IMO and should fit in the tin.
What about mounting a signal mirror on the bottom, on the outside? Maybe cover to protect it until you need to use it. Won't take up any room inside the tin.
A couple of FYIs one put the condom in a sock while filling it up it will support the weight more than straight latex or rubber condoms and put a Mylar survival blanket outside under the Ranger bands .
Nice starter kit in the comments there are a lot of great additions one I have found handy is two nails as large as you can find room for they are so versatile.
I keep trick birthday candles in my tinderbox, the kind that relight when you blow them out. Great for starting a fire in windy conditions without wasting matches.
Props for not getting relighting candles. It’s a gimmick, and if you’re wasting time trying to use a candle in the wind.. well there is a saying about the futility of that. Much better to be able to use the candle and save what you don’t use.
Super glue a small piece of mirror to the inside of the lid can then be used to signal or start a fire, it also saves space, never mind I wrote this before watching the video lol I see you used the tape
Nice kit. I put a small ferro rod in mine to augment the matches, along with some kind of tinder, but your mini BIC lighter is a step above that, since you have spark wheel AND fuel for a flame built right in! I think you have included provisions to cover the 5 Cs, or allow you to create them. I like the OD green paint, too. The tiny light sticks are very cool. Thanks for sharing. Cheers.
I would dump the thread and add some more bankline in its place. If you really are worried about sewing in a survival situation use either suture thread or bank line with a sail cloth. Also throw a crayon in there instead of one of the candles. They burn for I think 20 minutes? And you can use to leave notes
The biggest tip I can offer for this is get a new tin, given it's for survival you want it visible. If you put that down you could easily lose it. Ps. It is the coolest colour though.
Put the reflective tape on a business card so u can have it out but keep your stuff in the tin. I also recommend adding a lubricated "water bladder " incase things go really bad and u realize u are truly screwed. 😉
Add a wallet size survival card, that have fish hooks, needles, gigs, saw, etc. That would save alot of Space. #Readyman or #Grimsworkshop have many different ones. That would give you enough room for a #Whrilpac water bag. Thanks for excellent video.
Great vid. and the comments were great as well! A suggestion would be to use the "Magic novelty re-lighting candles." (won't stay blown out in the wind...)
At first zI thought this was a joke. And in normal days to day and survival kit should IMHO consist of a a minimum of a small back pack/go bag. But the more I watched this the more I was sold. Back up, emergency during the most emergency situations, a small tin has the basics. It can even be stockpiled and given out as charity. Good job.
Thank you. I just wanted to build my own Altoids survival tin. That's all I was just having some fun with it. I don't ever recommend just only having this as your kit though. I would never just carry this. But would be good to have as a last ditch backup though. I'm glad you got something out of this. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍💯🙂
i sold 'survival tins' back in the 80's. i had 2 models; a wilderness model with fire,water,shelter,signal,etc..and a suplimental urban model with a hundred dollar bill, a gram of cocaine, and a handcuff key. (the latter kits seem to sell out faster than i could make em)
If people had those when they went on their little hikes on Mount Whitney they probably wouldn't die up there Great suggestion by the way the Corporal says hello
Which cordage are you most likely to need. That should be wrapped around the lighter last. If you need the bank line you have to take off the thread and the fish line. The suggestion of using dental floss for all uses may be a better choice
Enjoyed the video. Leant a new thing re the reflective / mirror tape and wrapping cordage around the lighter. However, I can’t quite get why you Americans (sorry but I make that assumption) always put in a small blade and a separate tin opener. Why don’t you just put in a SAK Farmer. It fits perfectly and give you a number of tools in a usable format- including a knife, saw, can / bottle openers and a reamer. No offence meant of course - just meant as positive criticism.
@@scottysurvival I’m glad no offence is taken. Swiss Army Knife - Farmer (model). That’s what I have used in my altoids tin size PSK and in a few other kits as well. I live in the UK. A folding, non locking blade which is 3 inches or less is street legal here. Nevertheless, it is a great tool no matter where one is in the world.
Hey cool video and I have 1 more ignition source you could put in the fresnel lens sleeve is a card sized char cloth put in wax paper. Char cloth and the lens work great together
@@scottysurvivala few modifications to your loadout, load the needle with your thread, glue the match striker to one of the bottom sides, 1 wrap of duct tape around the base of your matches, add a mini flint and striker
I’ve made a few knives out of a hack saw blade. I left a serrated area and used a dremal tool to make a drop point style blade. Fits perfectly in a wallet, this might be a good to add to the outside under the inner tubes.
Awesome! But I suggest polishing the bottom of the tin for a reflective, and maybe wrapping some duct tape(fire starter, first aid, coverage repair) around the lighter as well.
On the inside of the top lid, attach a needle, safety pins, fish hooks, lead sinkers, etc with gaffers tape. The tape will keep these small items from falling out and allows you to use the lid for storage.
Thank's. It was fun building. I will have to do a overnighter with it sometime. Skittles would be good a little extra sugar for fuel. Thanks for watchin, and commenting. See you in the next adventure.
@@scottysurvival I loved that too. What size (thickness) bank line did you use? Is it #12? Thanks! Also, it may be a good thing to pre-thread the needle so it's not so stressful to do that while you're dealing with an emergency.
@@jejrstans pre threading the needle is a great ideal. I can definitely see how it would be stressful in a survival situation not having it threaded. The bank line I'm not sure. I bought it at Walmart awhile back.🙂
Anyone who walks into the woods with only an altoid tin survival kit is asking to die. Go in with the tools you need. Keep those tools in your vehicle all the time. Proper preperation prevents piss poor performance. 😊
I completely agree. I would not go into the woods with just an altoids can although absolutely better than nothing, but better prepared if you have the right equipment. That's why I incorporated it on my sheath. When I usually carry my knife I have my pack as well. Thanks for stopping by.
Probably better to put a piece of the bank line, and fishing line in the bottom of the tin flat or a little piece of table around them stored flat on the bottom instead of wrapping it on the Bic. If you need only bank line now you have to take off the fishing line and thread and put back together again. Just a thought.
I am making Altoids stationary EDC kit. Please suggest - 1) Liquid glue which can be used repeatedly (I am asking for reusable glue because Many times at airport they ask u to fill form and paste photo on it) 2) Transparent tape which can be cut without scissors 3) Compact slim stapler
