Altoid Tins Emergency Kit
I love having a small handy kit for emergencies in the car or back pack and altoids mints tins, gift cards or other tins work great! Stuff with what you feel you need!
keep your tin closed with a few rubberbands or some parachute cord/twine for additional supplies!
We added a strip of sandpaper to the inside top with hot glue for ease in striking matches. Then filled the tin to the brim!
We included some usual first aid items (bandaids, neosporin, germ wipes, asprin and benedryl), mini candles (light or fire starter), tin foil (signaling, cooking) a small fishing kit with line, corks, hooks and sinkers.
Using felt we designed a small sewing kit with two needles, wrapped in black and white thread, a couple safety pins and buttons.
We included several strike anywhere matches, a packet of beef broth, sugar and salt. Totally customize-able, what would you include in yours?
