Urban Altoids Survival Tin (v2.0) by TheUrbanPrepper 

Hi

Thanks a bunch, Gray. I have my newest version of this kit coming out this week.

Idiots? That'd be me, I suppose.

SweGunner71 Very cool! Please keep me posted on the progress of your tin.

Good idea, it can be lifesaving. I had some mysterious itchy sore and swelling. Benadryl did the trick

I would still get ideas from videos like this and build your own, for example he cares a lot about higene and hairs, so I would replace that with something else more useful for me and the same for you.

Thanks for the support. I don't mind the negative comments at all. To each their own. I just prefer to focus on realistic preparedness situations. Not Zombies and Apocalyptic events.

4 years later, and we are still alive

***** isnt crank also meth

Blackjack4141 thats crack

Erich Td [politely deleted[

oh

Blackjack4141 Yes, crank is meth. It got that name from bikers hiding it in the throttle of their bikes.

The micra is awesome. I've used all the tools in it at least once and the scissors and blade many times

Likewise. The Micra gets absolutely no love from the youtube community but I have yet to see a better multi tool for the size. The Juice S2 is just too big and heavy for me.

I would express my love for the Micra, except, damn it, I broke the tip off the blade doing something fairly innocuous. Every time I see the broken blade, I feel sad.

Haha. Unless I'm camping, the only time I need a cutting tool is for mail and I just use an old rusty Ginsu for that. I'm def not hating on anyone for carrying them but I think the whole knife EDC trend is unnecessary for a lot of people. IMHO

I've used it for opening boxes at work, cutting cords, etc. Even for meals where I don't have a proper food knife but I need to cut my food. I also use the screwdrivers for tightening furniture, handles, etc. The little chisel for scraping glue, gouging out openings, and such.

You are wrong and or confused. Non prescription pills are perfectly fine to carry without the bottle. Also, you can only get busted for intent to distribute narcotics if you are carrying schedule 2 or above controlled drugs without your Rx bottle or a printout of your Rx. Schedule 2 drugs are medicines such as morphine, oxycodone, adderall, ect. So unless you are carrying around controlled substances, it is perfectly fine.

Yes, explains why they sell all those pills in my local malls restroom vending machine. :P

Blurnanza explain to me then, why I got a ticket for possession of an unknown substance for tylenol in a ziploc in my purse. It is also ticketable to carry multiple pills, over the counter or prescription, in a single container.

MightyMouse1222 OK, never heard about that, but anyways, who will be searching his little Altoids tin. Cop: Sir I need to inspect your mints. Man: Why. Cop: Ummm... Cuz?

skullcrushers1000 they open everything. especially when they pick it up and it doesn't weigh what it should or doesn't make the right sound.

Not just for a single person ;) but a condom can be used for medical stuff.

***** Water transport

hahaha a condom

saul arellano for water bro,for water

Lurch0000 Thanks sweetie. BTW, I include water purification tablets in my EDC backpack. I've never needed them in 5+ years of carrying an altoids tin so they were omitted.

This isn’t a full on Bug Out Bag.Its meant for everyday inconveniences.Check his BOB vids if you aren’t satisfied.

Thomas Hradecky Haha.... Not often, but you never know when something will hit your stomach the wrong way. I find that I give them away to others more than I used them.

TheUrbanPrepper Maybe add some dramamine (motion sickness). Might save yourself on long car trips.

coreysmithsvt In my latest version I refer to it as an EDC kit instead of a survival kit. Survival kits are more applicable to a wilderness environment.

TheUrbanPrepper Thanks for clarifying; i was trying to figure out why one would need quarters for a parking meter during a zombie apocalypse. I'm pretty sure the slow, fat meter maids will be the first to be eaten and/or turned. And even if some survive (or if it's a non-zombie national emergency), I doubt they would be out writing tickets.

Not exactly the items I would choose, but clearly a lot of thought went into this. If there are mistakes to point out, I'm at the head of the line to point them out. The pills should be separate from each other, ideally in their packaging. Those are not the ideal matches. The only time I've ever seen the need for a whistle is for sports. Those "needles" are pins. No use for pins. Very nice inclusion of the mirror. The razor blade should have a cover. Leatherman lets you down on the Micra. Tge tool set is good, though. Not a perfect kit, but certainly helpful, and better than many.

this is an URBAN survival kit...

No. This is a metrosexual survival kit. :)

TheGoatMumbler your a idiot, you wouldn't know a usefull kit if it bit you in the ass. This video shows a very handy kit.

He put in there what he uses or finds more useful, you can make your own how ever you want it

Almost every Survival Kit you will find on RU-vid or the internet in general will include things such as fire starting capabilities, a knife, paper/pen, signaling whistle/mirror, first aid supplies, mini tweezers for tick/splinter removal, medications, etc; all of which are included in this tin. However, it appears that if you also include additional items for EDC/convenience such as clippers and incense, it somehow nullifies all of the previous "survival" items? These types of tins are custom made to everyone's local region and personal needs. Having a bad piece of fish at a restaurant can certainly become an emergency if you are on a date or perhaps without immediate access to proper intestinal medications. This may not be "bull crap", but it's definitely a crappy situation. Thanks for watching!

Some of this person's kit might be useful in a wilderness survival situation. But it's the type of thing that might be tossed into a coat or pack pocket and forgotten about. The tin would be useful for making charred cloth and everyone should always carry any required medication and some strong pain medicine, bug repellant, sun block and an antihistamine like a couple Epi pens or Benadryl to at least try to treat anaphlactic shock. I believe in Dave Canterbury's 10 C's system and the five redundancies because they are so well integrated, are multifunctional and well thought out. The Ten C's: Cutting tool(s): a full tang, uncoated, high carbon steel belt knife with a 5"+ blade length and a 90 degree spine that will throw a shower of sparks from of a ferro rod onto tinder Combustion device(s): three BIC lighters and three ferro rods spread through your pockets and pack a magnifying glass of at least 5 power, plus multiple tinder items and charred cloth Container: Made of metal, for collecting, boiling/disinfecting water, cooking and making wilderness medicines Cover-the clothing on your body, plus a sleeping bag or wool blanket, a tarp or poncho, an emergency survival bivy and two orange 3-mil plastic drum liners, aka garbage bags Cordage: a one pound roll of #36 bankline, plus at least 25-50 feet of 510 parachute cord, plus whatever other material is appropriate to your location, like climbing rope, carabiners, rappelling devices Compass: with rotating bezel and signal mirror for orienteering and navigation if necessary Cotton Bandanas, orange: hundreds of uses, like slings for broken limbs, headgear, as a container, signalling device, charrable material Candling device: ideally a headlamp with multiple modes including flash mode for signalling Canvas Sail needle: multiple uses, as a tweezer, to mend clothing, tarps, suturing a wound and if magnetized ahead of times, as an improvised compass Cargo Tape: thousands of uses, as tinder, repairing clothes or tarps, shelter construction, etc Five redundant items: Additional cutting tool(s): a folding or bow saw or a good all-purpose axe and a full-sized multi-tool A second metal container: like a mess kit or bush pot, which allows you to boil water with one container and cook, collect water, char cotton or other natural fibers or make wilderness medicines with the other 2% tincture of iodine: as a disinfectant for water, or on wounds (Make sure yo do not have a sensitivity to iodine before using this item) A diamond sharpening rod: to keep your cutting tools sharp A wrist rocket slingshot and a spare set set of extra strength slingshot bands: give you an effective short range weapon that can be adapted to take larger game if used to shoot arrows in a slingbow All of these items will fit in a good dry bag with an air valve, so it can also be used as an improvised flotation device for crossing a watercourse. Then put the dry bag into a good pack sack like the ILBE USMC Main pack. I also recommend carrying a notebook and a few pencils. To put meat in the pot if the slingbow is innefective, carry a frog gig and a single or double barrel breech loading 12 gauge, with either clean bore or modified choke. Now you're well equipped if you get stuck out in the woods overnight. But that isn't the whole story. Preparation is a huge asset and the lack of it might be a death sentence. You need to have the knowledge and skills to improvise, adapt and overcome the challenges you'll surely face if you wish to survive. You must have adequate resources to build shelter, fire and make rescue signals You must have the ability to protect your core temperature and a way to remain fully hydrated. And NEVER go out into the wilderness without leaving a travel itinerary with a responsible person like a forest ranger, police officer, fire department or an adult family member. Itineraries must clearly state a time to go looking for you if you don't check in on time with that responsible entity. And finally, a positive and realistic attitude and strong self esteem will help you when things don't always go your way. As Churchill said, we will never give up!

Douglas McIntyre he said it's urban survival kit not a forest survival kit or anything
