Pocket Survival Kit Entry #17

The way I assembly this little piece of equipment is simply to have a backup for my main survival /camping kit, with some items that I consider essential/complementary. It could act as an emergency kit on its own, in fact.

Here´s the list of the contents. From left to right top to bottom:

First aid items:

2 large band aids

1 pack of “sulfatiazol” powder. It applies to the wound and act as a disinfectant and fast wound closure

2 paracetamol pills

Click below for complete contents and more pictures

Fishing / Fire items

1 little fishing line roll (7 meters)

1 firesteel bar

6 assorted size fishing hooks

2 fishing weights

1 fatwood stick

Hunting/Snare/Shelter/General Purposes

1 meter paracord line

1 leather pouch/theraband rubberbands for improvise in-situ a powerful slingshot. After the blade, I consider this is an excellent option for a survival low tech weapon

1 high carbon blade w/ paracord handle

I managed to make a rubber/duct tape (mossy oak camo) sheath in the back of the Altoid tin, it is sturdy and light enough. That little blade was made by a local blacksmith friend of mine. Easy to draw and although it stands out from the tin container it´s not annoying to carry, as it could seem.

Food items

2 smoked beef jerky sticks

1 wringley´s bubblegum

1 rubberband (for pack the slingshot rubbers)

1 Origami tinfoil cup (holds easily 500 ml.)

As you can see, in the rest of the photos, this fits not only in a front shirt pocket, but also in a side/arm pocket, Well I think this is it, good luck to all!!!
