Let's put together an Altoid Tin Kit Together

**hoosierarcher** · 04-17-2009, 04:41 PM

OK
A little joint project/discussion
We have a hinged lidded tin from some candy or cough drop or whatever and spray painted the outside dayglo orange or chartruese (for those that like high visibility) or dull brown or olive green (for those that like subdued) or hand painted camo (for those with too much time on their hands.)
What one item OTHER than the first 3, a knife or knife substitute, a fire starting tool of some kind, a condom or other water carrying device?
For me it would be one of the fairly new diamond hone cards sold by Smokey Mountain Knife Works. They come in three grits (basically soft, medium and hard.) They are just about exactly the size of the interior of the tin. I would probably put a medium in the tin for maintaining my knife's edge.
Please limit your reply to one item and give your basic reason for its inclusion.

If I have only one then it's a toss up between a compass and water purifying tablets. Compass....tablets.....compass...it's a toss up.

fishingline (double as snare material)?

Flip a coin....OK let's just say water purification tabs are in there with the improvised water container.
So Rick would add a compass.

I meant stop whistling. Crash said whistle but he didn't say when to stop.

**crashdive123** · 04-17-2009, 05:10 PM

Yes sir, you may stop. Rescue is on the way.

It's already in the tin Ken. re-read the original post. The non lubed are for oral according to the Trojan website. You travel in interesting lands.

By the way - when using a condom as a water carrier, it makes sense to put a small twist-tie (the bread wrapper type) in the kit with the condom. It takes up almost no room at all, and is the easiest way to secure the filled condom without a great risk of breakage.

Damnit, you stole my idea. I'd wrap some line around the hooks, mebbe a sinker or two. But since that was already mentioned,

needle & thread, for fixing clothes, non-hard-use gear, or severe lacerations until you can get somewhere to get treated.
