2oz tin kit

[munchh]

Funny, i've been looking at the dayglow paracord you can get on ebay, great minds and all that.

So i've ordered 5 2oz tins http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/230867746857? ... 1439.l2649
and 5 strikers that will fit in them http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/121001380582? ... 1439.l2649

I'm looking at button compass, there are lots of bunches of 10 or 20, but no 5's although you can get 100 straight from china for £17 straight from the manufacturer!

These knives look like a good idea, like a credit card that wraps around the blade to make the handle

5 x CREDIT CARD SIZE MAGNIFICATION/FRESNAL/MAGNIFYING LENS

WINDPROOF MATCHES AND WATER PURIFICATION TABLETS

Survival Saw

MINI WIND UP DYNAMO TORCH

So i've got some ideas, its quite cool the amount of stuff that is small enough nowadays.

Just be sensible and give everything a good test. If your survival depends on the contents of a 2 oz tobacco tin, you need to be confident in the contents. That's really why I have been dismissive about them, on this thread. I wouldn't want to have to rely on one.

Yeah good point,
i spose i'm using it as a starting block, in a kit so small you have to be sure of the essentials (i'm also thinking its for the glove box so that situation orientated)
So i thought it would be a good excercise in good and bad, it will be a prequal to my first EDC bag and the BOB will be a move on from that.
