The most COMPREHENSIVE SURVIVAL KIT in a TIN I have ever built

The most comprehensive survival kit in a "tin" that I have ever built.
Utilising a Trangia mini Mess Tin, 0.8 litre capacity (27 fl oz). Total weight is 1.5 lb (so not much heavier than 500ml (16 fl oz) bottle of water.
Ideal to place in a pouch, bottom of your daysack or in the boot/trunk of your vehicle.

    Smart kit! I learned a few things from your video. Additions to consider: - 10 Baby Aspirins to keep the blood thin if water is limited - 4 Imodium, in case the survival situation is distressing - 3-4 Toilet paper sized squares of blue shop towel paper towels. These hold together in the rain better than regular toilet paper. You might consider making them the length and width of your large tin, and using them to divide the layers in your tin.

    My EDC survival kit is called the ‘OLOK psk’ (One Litre, One Kilo), it is desighned as a ‘stuck outside overnight in bad weather here in Montreal, Canada’, it is like an extension of your kit (+ emergency poncho, fixed blade knife, neoprene gloves, …). I like small prepping items so I would add a pre-threaded sewing needle sealed in a straw (includes mini paperclip+mini safety pins) and a stick of lip balm (many survival and first aid uses), mine is a moisturising version with SPF 15 from Nivea so can even be used as emergency sunscreen. It can even help keep you warm, cold+dry winter air will suck moisture from exposed skin, making you colder (like sweating in summer), rub some lip balm on exposed skin to reduce this. Show you love wildlife, hug a porcupine today !

    I'm a big fan of foil, so I'd add some in there. You can make a cup out of it, use it to cook caught game in a foil pouch, all sorts. Cut it into strips to make reflectors even? Big fan of the stock cubes. Maybe add some salt, pepper and spices in there too. The flavor and vegetable sachets that come with instant noodles can work well.

    I've long been a fan of these little mess tins, thanks for highlighting their use. I have two identical kits in these tins, the contents are both generic 5C's and individual specific items. I have fishing kits because I live in the Outer Hebrides and fishing both in sea and Lochs is easy. I also have alongside the kit a bright orange emergency bivvy in mylar material, they're cheap and easy to use quickly. Water purification tabs are a must too. Nice video, great kit.

My only addition would be a roll of dental floss it's super strong, ideal for lashing, sewing, and you can even floss your Teeth, whith it,lol. Another use for your securing bungees would be fastening trouser bottoms to keep crawlers out etc. Thanks for the interesting video, stay safe mate, best wishe's to you and your's, Stuart UK.

    Really a well done and put together kit you have there. I like that idea of putting your bandana in first and everything else on top of it. One thing I always put in my kits, is a tube of Orajel with 20% benzocaine. That stuff works great for bee stings, bug bites, cuts, blisters and so forth. It takes the pain away for a while, and allows you to keep walking with a blister, or stops a kid from crying when she's running around bare foot and steps on a bee. I also carry a liquid candle. They burn longer than wax candles, and I can adjust the flame if I need more heat, by pulling the wick out a little. The oil in them is rated as nonflammable or basically the same as vegetable oil here in the states, so there's no restrictions on shipping or anything. The caps they have on them are SOLID and in 20 plus years of carrying them, I've never had a leak. I even carry a couple of the bigger ones in each vehicle for emergency heat if needed, and years of riding around in a glovebox, they've never once leaked. In my smaller tin kits like yours, I carry the 8 hour size which is like a tea light candle. Here's a link to them and sizes if you wanted to check them out, and look for them over there. I put a few extra dots in after the www and before the com or sometimes youtube will delete the post. Keep up the great work. www ........ 100candles ..... com/fuel_cells.htm

Only changes I would make would be to change the standard size mylar "blanket" for the XXLarge 70inchx142inch 'Emergency Zone' brand (appx $6 U.S.) and toss in a few coffee sachets. ☕️ 😊 You can also get "special" 550 paracord that has amongst the strands a) fishing line b) snare wire, and c) a strand of "tinder" for fire starting.

    Just my opinion that I'm sure no one cares about, but I would add a really small power bank to this. If you're in a situation where you need any of this I would want my phones battery to last as long as possible. Even if you have no service, you can walk until you find some. Getting help as quickly as possible is really the only goal. I would ditch half the length of rope and just fit an ultra thin power bank. I have the Auskang 5000mah power bank just for this kind of setup.

    Very good selections, missing a sawyer mini water filter, if you’ve ever actually used purification tablets, drinking murky skanky tasting water, is no fun, sawyer you get clear fresh tasting water. Ditch most of that 550 cord, get some bank line, loads more in lot less space, you can compress the emergency blankets down to less than 50% of that size, take 2 in the same space. Ditch glo stick waste of space, lumitop edc 01 flashlight, comes with a diffuser and 3 light levels, AAA battery. One of the best kits I’ve seen, covering the bases with lots of fluff

    GREAT JOB on your kit brother!!! I will be placing some hard candy, gum and bouillon cubes in my kit (great moral boosters). Awesome idea!!. There are a few things that I did with my kit and this may or may not be possible depending on the size of your tin. But I placed a small head lamp in mine so that I can be completely hands free. I also put in a larger (Suunto style) compass for navigation so that it's easier to see and use with a map. The very last thing that I put in my tin is an extra plastic bag (grocery store produce bag) so that I have something waterproof to store my gear when it's not in the tin. I really enjoyed your video brother. Keep them coming.

    Nice kit with all the basics covered, have you got room for a couple of those 3 in 1 coffee sachets? I know you got 2 bullion cubes thatll provide a nice warm drink but cant replace a quick caffine injection to boost morale😊. How about a back up button compass just in case you lose all your other kit. Id swap out that silver mylar banket for one of the orange ones or even a orange foil sleeping bag more signal capabilities. And last one, swap out the 20ft of para cord for survival cord, same strength but also contains a fishing line, fire tinder waxed jute and a strong thread. I know its a bit more expensive but worth it for the extra capabilities. Anyway just my thoughts and ideas. Id definitely be glad to have that kit in a SHTF situation. ATB Rob 👍

I have a few of the mylar emergency bivvy bags that I stuck through the vacuum machine but whilst it would fit it still takes up too much room. I suppose I could slide it under the shock cords. Good idea with the 3 in 1s and I'll investigate the survival cord you mentioned. Cheers for watching and all the best. Allan

    Nice kit - Lofty Wiseman would be proud ;) I suppose there's no such thing as one "universal" survival kit - it really depends on your environment and scenario - horses for courses as it were. Over time, I stepped away from Altoids and Lofty's original kit, into more of a "Layering" system. For instance, I've built my "got-lost-in-the-woods" kit (which is the likeliest scenario in Britain, realistically speaking), and it all fit in the Crusader cup, but then I minimised it into a set of extensively-modified EDC items that I keep in my pockets and person at all times regardless of the occasion. And on top of that I build a complementary pouch depending on occasion and environment. My 2 pence of, hopefully, constructive advice: 1) I question the logic of the manufacturer who places a tiny compass on a handle of a ferro (metal) rod. Ditch the ferro rod altogether (BiC lighter is enough) and get a half-way-decent compass and a map of local area (SplashMaps are awesome!). This is what you keep in your left cargo pocket together with a notepad and a mechanical pencil (no need to undo all that lovely blue tape just to take a note). 2) Build yourself a "Ranger BiC lighter". I add 3m of 25mm gorilla tape, 40m dental floss, kevlar line (can be a used as a saw), Sniper tape (great for cuts and blisters) and 2m vaseline saturated jute line covered by a couple of rubber bands. In there I also have a sailmaker's needle inside a thin neoprene line (for easy access). In another version of my BiC I also have a cola bottleneck, a rubber balloon and 4 water tabs. This is one of my EDC items (7 C's in 1). 3) Take cover/shelter more seriously. There are some effective ponchos that are fist-size and don't weigh much. Have at least 2 mylards. And at least 1 bin-bag. 4) Your Victorinox SwissAK would prove to be quite useless very quickly. Instead, get an SOG PowerPint multitool (it's compact and weighs 119g) and a better knife - even a cheap Whitby drop-point EDC knife is better than that SwissArmyKnife. 5) One of the most creative ideas that I've seen is the inclusion of saw blade and knife blade in the survival tin. 6) Get a real paracord (most paracord on the market is fake) and braid a lanyard to hold your EDC items: knife, BiC lighter, whistle, torch. You can also braid a belt. 7) Shemagh is a great fashion item! 8) Food: I keep a sachet of peanut butter in the pocket (they're increasingly difficult to come by). I'm more of a chicken-stock man, and Scottish shortbreads, Snickers bar, nuts-bar, oat-cakes, kobanossi/peperami sausages - are all good options for the more extensive emergency pouch kit. 9) Them firedragon gel tablets are pretty useless, even the big ones. Better keep a tiny bottle of Hand-gel in the pocket anyway. 10) Superglue!

I later saw your Admin-bag video, which is where you too do exactly as I do - spreading the items throughout the Levelling system: items on person, items in small pouch, items in Admin-bag (I actually don't have an Admin-bag as I keep it all in bergen's top-flap; will probably end turning the bergen's top-flap into zippable/detachable admin-pouch). To that kit I would also add 5 £20 notes (it's magical how multifunctional and capable they are - almost sorcery-like), cotton pads, aspirin, ibuprofen, co-codamol (if you can get it), potassium-permanganate, hydrogen-peroxide, iodine and Vietnam Balm. A couple or bags of Yorkshire + sugar.

One or 2 things I would think about a signal mirror is a must but, I think the BCB design is out dated as the are better plastic ones and good stanless steel mirrors that a well polished, maybe a range of matches could be added, or even a waterproof match case with a mirror in the lid.

    Until science invents a “just add drops of water” shelter system we will forever be challenged to thermoregulate successfully utilizing under 1L of carry space. As mentioned in my first comment I built a very similar PSK last year in an Essee mess tin. At that time I faced a dragon that we all do re: shelter & thermoregulation. One line of my thinking said “bollocks I violated the whole point of the kit” whereas the more practical side said “application in the bush is all that matters” I shall describe said dragon-battle: A mylar “space blanket” is neither sufficient nor practical for staying warm or out of the rain. The corners tear away like Scotch tape when one attempts a tarpaulin and the perspiration factor when rolled up inside of one all but negates the whole Les Stroud “you sweat, you die” admonishment. Then I thought long n hard about the density & weight of the completed kit and admitted “Ill never carry this in a pocket. The damn thing is a meteor” Even in a jacket pocket it threw off the balance of my garment like a manhole cover in my pocket. I knew that if the mess tin ever sees the trail (it has since the build) it would ride in either a fanny pack (as a redundancy to my Bergen) or in the backpack itself alongside day hiking accoutrements like a lunch, binoculars etc. Similar to your brilliant idea of encasing your kit in the orange bandana I encased my kit inside a blaze yellow 7L roll down dry ditty bag. This allowed me to include the mess tin itself, two 3mil 50g contractors bags, a fleece Tuke, wool glove liners & a mosquito head net. Plus the bag serves as potential water bag, hand warming bag, gathering bag. Even a debris pillow. The shelter & warmth components are all shrink wrapped in a Food Saver machine so that each is smaller than a deck of playing cards. The blaze yellow bag/kit compresses to only a couple inches in dimensions larger than the original tin but my survivability factor, in an unplanned bivouac, overnight in freezing weather, improves vertically and more than justifies the adjustment re: cubic volume. Whether it rides as a “grab n go” in my day pack or in a lumbar style fanny pack as redundancy to a 50L+ weeklong pack my thermoregulation and stay dry capabilities are closer to civilian SAR or MILSPEC. I’ve learned the hard way that brilliant packing on youtube versus freezing alone at 3:30am are odd bedfellows, if not natural enemies. The only difference in my kit re contents? By eliminating cordage & the space blanket from inside the tin I added a Leatherman Wave (to compliment a SAK Ranger) and a Petzl headlamp w/ retractable cord in lieu of the pen light. The cordage & shelter components ride atop the tin compressed in the yellow sack. Because keeping blood sugar /energy up is so important (and so often overlooked) I add several bags of jerky, Pralines, raisins, a couple Cliff Bars to whichever conveyance pack the particular outing calls for. Or to my jacket. The primary suggestion that I hope some reading this will consider: use 3-4mil contractors bags instead of relying on the thin mylar “blankets” Whether deciding to make an ersatz rain poncho and/or worm down into a forest floor debris sleeping bag either is a massive improvement over the temperamental crinkly mylar sheets. By adding a jacket the pockets (zippered are preferable) afford not only comfort calories (and green tea caffeine tablets) but also head coverage and hands protection. Those most daring amongst us might even carry several Hot Hands. One placed on the crown of one’s head, under a Tuke, raises/maintains body core temperature beautifully. Excellent build. We are both fighting the good fight on each side of the pond. (I’m a twitter guy) God bless and happy trails.

    Thank you for your input. I also utilise the mylar emergency bivvy bags vacuum packed along with a silk sleeping bag liner. The idea is that it absorbs and holds away some of the condensation caused by the mylar. Of course this kit is a redundancy and carried in a pouch and the other vital items are either in a daysack or a Bergen depending on the anticipated duration. Had a giggle when you mentioned the hot hands. I use little hotties. These weigh very little and are ideal for raising the temperature. Take care 👍

    I used sumthing similar to your knotted shock-cords around a tin/kit I made but I used the type of camping tarp/cover cords with the plastic balls that are molded/attatched to them. The loop passes thru the eyelet letting the ball come up against the eyelet so it cant pull thru. Plus the shockcord and 4 x balls are black so offers a bit more UV protection. Makes it slightly bulkier externally but nothing drastic.

    I think that is one of the best kits I’ve seen in awhile, well done! However, a couple things if I may. 1) I didn’t see a battery bank for your cellphone? I assume you have one on you? I think that’s one of the most overlooked things in a kit. 2). I mean no disrespect when I ask this, but what realistic situation do you see yourself using that kit? The reason I ask is because about 15 years ago, I went down the “rabbit hole” of survival/prepping and it was long, dark and deep, lol. After driving myself nuts trying to plan for everything, I sat down and wrote every possible scenario down and found that, realistically, natural disasters were the most realistic scenario I would need things, so I planned accordingly. Made life much simpler and less stressful 😊. Anyway, well done and good video, thank you.

    Thank you for watching Michael. It was more of a project that I set myself. I wanted to see what I could pack in a relatively small container. I carry a battery pack in my EDC bag, GHB and Go Bag. It would be unlikely that I would ever venture anywhere with just the kit. Being of a prepared mindset all of my normal "outdoors" bags include more substantial items. Even if it's 'only' a day hike I carry the means to signal, (including a mobile phone), a mil spec poncho, multitool (usually a SAK), means to make fire, basic first aid, cordage, a compass of some description and a litre of water. And of course clothes suitable for the season. From a prepping point of view I prep primarily for a loss of mains services, water, electricity, gas etc regardless of what's caused the problem. I'm certainly not driven by the big boys clickbait of impending doom. After all they suggest the end of the world every other week and have been doing so for years. Mind you, even a broken watch is correct twice a day 🤣🤣 Enjoy your evening and if you do the Christmas thing then I wish you good health and prosperity.

    @@p2snetwork Thanks for responding and explaining your mindset, it’s pretty solid and reasonable. That kit is what I would call a proper kit like in the SAS handbook and not a little dinky Altoids tin 😄. I look at the probabilities vs the possibilities as well. There seems to be an awful lot of fear mongering on YT just to get views, likes and sell you stuff and it’s nauseating at times. It’s refreshing to see a more down to earth take on the subject and you earned a sub today. I still may bust your balls though 😂. You have a Merry Christmas as well sir!

    I would add one thing, but that might be my medical background speaking, and that's some sort of trauma/emergency bandage (think the Israeli bandage types). Yes, they are a tad bulky, but if you're trained in their use, they are lifesavers in both self and buddy aid.

    Absolutely, everyone should have a FFD in their kit. Unfortunately, if I placed one in the mess tin I'd have little room for anything else. However, something to deal with a heavy bleed is very good advice. Thank you, enjoy your day.
