DEFINITION:
"A mini survival kit is a small survival kit which consists of the most essential outdoor survival tools and supplies which are the hardest to improvise or replace. A mini survival kit is intended to be carried along all the time and is usually designed to complement other survival tools carried along in a larger, separate bag. Other personal gear will primarily offer additional serviceability and ease of use, but the mini survival kit should provide for the basic needs of a survival situation, followed by self rescue, assistance, or a return to normalcy in optimum situations."
My Urban Altoids "EDC" Tin (Version 2.1) is not designed as a standard "survival tin". While the items listed in the above description would be extremely beneficial in an outdoors emergency, the majority of items have little use for EDC (Every Day Carry) purposes in an urban environment. Instead of carrying a bunch of items that I would most likely never use on a daily basis, I redesigned my kit into more of a "convenience" that have a higher probability of actually being used in an urban environment. This would be an extremely poor kit to carry in the Amazon jungle, but highly beneficial to have at work, home, out of town travel and during errands in an urban environment.

Thank you for watching this video! I never would have thought that this little Altoids kit video would pass the 1 Million views mark. This version of the kit is over 5 years old now. Here is a link to my latest version of the Altoids EDC Kit: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-MyMNiANaJrQ.html. I hope you enjoy seeing how this kit as evolved over the years. Cheers! ~Cliff

LMAO... Please don't call this a survival kit ! Nail clippers ? Seriously ? I'd hate to see you out in the wilderness trying to survive !

@countloco592 4 года назад

There's something that SAS survival guide can't teach you ! Real life wilderness experience. You( anyone ) can read a book about survival all you want but if you( the people reading survival guides ) and don't practice, apply that knowledge to real world wilderness experiences it pretty much does no good ! Because there's much more you will learn being out in the thick of it, applying what you know , you'll never learn the best, a better way to use the skills.

@TheUrbanPrepper I am a a bit of a "prepper" and love the outdoors. When I saw the contents of your EDC kit I wanted to be critical as they lack any of the every day items I use. As I patiently watched and waiting for the end of the video to post some critique or negative comment, I slowly began to realize the genius of your kit. You are just in a different type of forest or jungle than I typically am in. Yours is the concrete jungle/office. Your kit began to make perfect since to me. I realized I was the one lacking the preparation. So I am going to make a nice little city tin like yours, and honestly looking forward to it. For all the Armchair survivalists bashing the video, they just lack the intelligence to sit through something that doesn't make since to them long enough to try to see the other persons point of view. Afraid to learn something... I learned a lot from this. Thanks for posting!

@kennethjohn4668 6 лет назад

"And a paper clip for office type applications". "Hey Bob, do you have a paper clip I can have"? "Sure, gimme like 5 minutes to get it from the mini tin that I keep inside another mini tin that I always carry on me." EDC tin 3.0, tin inside a tin inside a tin inside a ballon that I swallow that's attached to fishing line that's tied to my front tooth...for easier retrieval.

I used to have little kits like this. I'm older now and have found that coming up with solutions on the fly saves pocket space and promotes ingenuity. If I had a handy kit for problems I have each different day, the kit would have to be different each day and still be big as a 5 gallon bucket. Just prepare your mind by being smart and you won't have to waste your pocket space.

@Northanteus 7 месяцев назад

It's not wasting space by keeping a small tin of items in pocket. You're only limiting your ability to deal with situations the less gear you have on you. That's up to you, but don't tell others they're wrong for wanting more options to work with. I say each individual chooses what they want, some less, some more. I prefer more options, within the weight and size I can put up with on a daily basis. Some people carry less than you, would you listen to them and leave home with nothing in pockets? 🤔😋

@Christian_Prepper 7 лет назад

HAHA! But really, lace up your boots with 20 FEET of 550 PARACORD!!! I laced up each boot with one end of a 10' length of 550 paracord (1100 was too thick) & with the rest of the paracord I braided it with a series of slipknots & tucked this braided excess under my paracord laces. The very last end of the braided paracord is used to finish lacing/tying up my boot. Now when I need cordage I can momentarily untie my "paracord shoestring" & from only one end, pull out as much as I need, cut it off & still be able to re-tie my shoelaces! So with the exception of my dress shoes & one pair of tennies, I walk around everyday with 20' worth of 550 paracord & unless people take a close look, no one ever really notices.

I have no idea why people are giving you shit. Sure you are probably caring on you more than I would but it isn't my place to judge what you carry. I copied you and made one of these tins for my car and love it. I have used it multiple times the past few months mainly for my lighter and multitool. Thanks for the great video and thanks for taking the time to share what is important to you.

@TheUrbanPrepper 10 лет назад

brasstrombone9 I figure it goes with the territory of making RU-vid videos. I usually check out the channels of people who "give me sh*t" and I have never found one where they too post videos. I feel that those that actually make videos to upload on RU-vid have a good understanding of the amount of work that goes into creating one, especially ones that require a lot of planning, and therefor see things from a wider frame of mind (such as yourself). Sure, I would not expect everyone to want the exact same contents as I do. However, I feel that the organization and strategy could be leveraged towards custom tins of their own. So in the end, I usually take the extreme negative feedback with just a grain of salt. :)

Altoids recently started (at least in my area) selling the little metal folding top tins/canister things. I find for anyone carrying earbuds take three fingers and wrap starting from your jack to your actual earbuds the entire cable length semi loosely around your fingers and then tuck them inside for a good way to store your earbuds. they stay untangled and protected

Thank you for this. I really want to say this is a good video for people. This kit is put together for real use. Mini Survival kits are nearly useless just due to the fact that 99.9% of people will never be in a survival situation. But nearly every one may get a splinter, need to sew on a button, or get caught in a room where the lights can go out during a storm. This is a great kit that should point people in a more realistic direction. Never hurts to carry "tools" you might need to use than carry a bunch crap you'll probably never Need, Good thinking mate!

@RandomButtonPusher 9 лет назад

I used to carry a Swiss Army Spartan knife -- very basic, large blade, screw driver, awl, toothpick and tweezers, I think. And a cork screw. The latter seems a bit esoteric, right? Then one day I was at a small conference that had a reception at the end of the day, with beer and wine provided by the organizers (not catered). I was chatting with another attendee when I heard someone call out, "Does anybody have a cork screw?" About 40 people laughed and shrugged their shoulders. As I walked over and handed them my Spartan, they were amazed...and I had quite a few new wine-drinking pals. A couple years back I was the only one on my floor of about 20 offices who had a small flashlight ( 2AA Mini-Mag) when the power failed. All my brief cases/"man purses" and computer bags have a flashlight. Why wouldn't you? The point is, EDC is a very personal thing. No one has to be a death's door from lack of a paper clip to make it a simple, useful tool to have when needed. Yes, I was a Boy Scout. "Be prepared" is about mindset. It is as much about learning to think (or more) than it is about what gear you have stashed away. BTW, my key ring has a Micra on it and a micro flashlight. Those who believe pre-thinking your possible daily requirements for handling small problems is somehow paranoid are "non-thinkers." They will be the first to piss and moan when they can't open their wine...and will be the first to trip over each other in the dark when the lights go out.

in that amount of space, you could get either 4-6€ 1000-1500 Yen just in coins. If you are in an european city and your car rans out of gas, you can actually either put some liters into the tank or if you're hungry, 1500 yen (3 relatively flat coins) in japan get you a very very generous lunch.

The mini Leatherman deleted the need for 3 of the things you have in the tin and opened up space for other things.

Also in your smaller tin, maybe some water purification tabs for that off chance that you are in an SHTF situation and you need water. I don't know about you, but I ain't drinking the water in DC. I'd drop the quarters though. In an emergency situation you're not gonna need to worry about putting money in a vending machine. In my tin I have fishing hooks and a few small sinkers. I wrapped some small 2lb test line around the outside of the tin and then covered it with electrical tape. Just my $.02.

I’m glad you enjoyed my responses. I don’t mind negative feedback. I try to answer everyone with respect, even though often times it is not reciprocated. I’m not sure why some viewers seem to be so taken aback by these Altoid Kit videos, or really any videos. We all have our hobby’s: video games, gardening, coding, fishing, etc. I just choose to focus on prepping and sharing a lot of my projects here on RU-vid. That seems to make certain people appalled for some odd reason. I’m glad that you and many others enjoy my videos. I’ll keep cranking them out and will continue to respond to the snide remarks as a gentleman. Thanks RJ!

@MajikCatSecurity 9 лет назад

Hey Cliff, Listen I just had something come up here at home with my mother and it made me think it would probably be a good idea for you to share this with your followers. You see my mother is prescribed several medications for a condition she has that mimics Diabetic Neuropathy. This means a couple of the meds she is prescribed are heavily regulated narcotics. Thing is, my mother like so many others carries so back up meds with her at all times in her purse in a little zip lock baggy. All the time not realizing if she were to be caught with these without her prescription she would go to jail. I don't think a lot of people realize that, and I know many people carry back up medication with them in various forms. Perhaps it would be a good idea to share this with your followers to inform them as well. Having been a state constable here years a ago I knew this and thought it was common knowledge, but it appears not. Have a good one! =)

The kit saved my butt when my glass display case lost it's hinges on the way to a jewelry and pottery show. If I didn't have hinges my valuables would have been within easy reach of the general public! Screws are great because for many uses they are less likely to slide out. One just wouldn't have been enough!

Don't let a "clever" way of thinking limit your thought process. The numbers in case your phone is dead - useless on your dead phone. Emergency situation with a dead phone : 1) Someone comes by with a live phone, and you don't know the phone number of a single person you know. Opps. 2) Someone comes by with a phone that works, and you are able to meet up with whoever due to this miracle you were prepared for because your though process is not limited by....YOU. b

@tetsubo57 9 лет назад

My wife just got me a Victorinox SwissCard for my birthday. I think it would be perfect for a survival tin. I also think a Newman's Own mint tin makes a better container as the lid is flat and the tin itself is slightly larger.

@AntonAdelson 9 лет назад

+tetsubo57 Yeah, I have the lite one. And it fixes the need for tweezers, pen, and a flashlight found in this video. Although I'm guessing it is better be kept in the wallet rather than a tin like this.

@tetsubo57 9 лет назад

+Anton Adelson The problem with that is the plastic can suffer stress over time. My old one broke. I made a guard for my new one to prevent that from happening again. In a tin it would be safer.

@AntonAdelson 9 лет назад

tetsubo57 May I ask you where you keep your wallet? The reason for this is because I keep my wallet in a bag and I imagine it'd go through a lot more stress if it was kept in my pant pocket. Especially the back one.

If I had that I would just wait till I got home for a nail clippers instead of wasting time taking everything out, getting what you need, then having to put everything back in. I just don't see it as a practical use, it will just waste your time. How do you deal with that?

@annunakim525 5 лет назад

I have some only for emergency so i won't open them. For EDC i dont fill them up too packed. It will keep some things uncrushed and you know where it is always... Need a light? In the box in my pocket. I always know where it is and if i have it with me. Some things like fire, light, rope. I work alot with rope and boxes so a small knife is fine to put in because i use it often...

I have a Sucrets tin as my edc tin. It's a few millimetres thicker than the Altoids tin, giving me just enough room to tuck a couple of spare keys under the rim. Each item in the tin is in there because it has bailed me out of a jam in the past, or would have, had I had it. It's incredibly useful. It turns out that, back in the day, that's what my grandmother carried, too. She was always prepared. The teens in my family have noticed my super-useful tin. Each one asked for a custom edc tin, and when prompted, each one knew just what would be most useful in his/her tin. It'll make for easy presents this year. :D

@heoung8611 6 лет назад

do you really need quarters? In a emergency situation, do you think you care about putting them in parking meters?

@blairbushproject 5 лет назад

Ryan U you might need to fill a tire with air. Quarters make pretty good screwdrivers. Flipping a coin helps break indecision. You can drop one for depth perception. Some people carve them into art for trade. It can be used as bait in an idiot trap. Poke a hole in it and it’s a weight. ESP for fishing line.

@blairbushproject 4 года назад

57HarleyDavidson you put a quarter somewhere where it can be seen or where you are watching an area. If it disappears it demonstrates someone was there. It can make someone stop to pick it up. So you can set a trap. Like leaving a dollar on your desk. It’s temptation that is set for the trap. It makes them stop look and you gain seconds.

Nice. Most people don't know, that the Altoids Survival Tin, goes back to World War 2. British commandoes and Allied agents needed a little survival kit, that wouldn't attract attention. Altoids were already being issued or bought as breathe mints, and were small enough to fit in a pocket. Very interesting, idea for several items that could be hard to keep in your pockets.
