Hello and welcome. What size is your tobacco tin?
What the hey is cotton wool? Is it anything like wool cotton?
Welcome....
Welcome to the forum.
my tobacco tin is actually a small mess tin the measurements are looking down bottom to top 8.4cm width 11.4 cm and height is 3 cm hope this helps also you might want to add some aspirin paracetomol!
Carry on Camping!
Do you really have a need to inhibite prostaglandin synthesis in the brain? That's way too serious for me.
The reason I asked was that somebody was looking for a small tin. That size is a bit small for what was being looked for. Thanks.
Welcome aboard.

Welcome to the Forum Dont be Screed. This ill only hurt for a little while.
What, no condoms? Gee, there's something you don't see every day, a Newby starting out by posting his Survival kit. Thanks dude, I've never seen a Survival Kit before,:rolleyes: I hesitate to ask what the Tampon is for.:rolleyes:Quote:

Interesting selection of kit. I have a "always with me" kit, which is slightly different, but serves a similar purpose. (getting my back end from a bad spot, to a less bad spot, quickly)
4"x4" sterile gauze pads
several plain ol bandages
roll of electrical tape (millions of uses)
bic lighter
led mini flashlight
leatherman
a couple of iodine tabs for water purification
small tin of asperin and advil
This is in no way meant to be a "survival kit", but more of a "dammit where did I park the truck" kit...
comments welcome.
Rick there is no call for insults and cussing in foreign languages!!!:mad:Quote:

The Tampon also makes good fire tinder as well as camo and bullet wounds!
Thanks for the question ask me any more if you have any!
Nice to meet you Sam
Okay. What is cotton wool? Never heard of it.
I've heard of cotton pickin wool.
I'm trying to imagine the size of a tampon needed to camouflage one of you guys ANYWHERE,that would be one HUGE tampon.......Quote:

It's not there anymore, I moved it over here. The intro section is where you tell us about you, not what you carry in your pockets, understand?:cool:Quote:

When you say survival kit, what are you imagining that you would need it for? I ask because it's intended use will be important when planning what goes in it.
well i have it all done,and i have these things because i go into the wood alot and thats mainly where im camping
OK - you see, when you use the terminology "survival kit" I envision those items needed to keep you alive in a "survival situation" which is quite a bit different than camping. But hey, if it's done and you like it.......
A couple of things that caught my eye right off the bat...
1. Why the hatchet? You already have a saw and and axe...
2. I didn't see any rope listed?
3. Only one way to start a fire?
4. What about something to eat?
5. How about a whistle?
6. I hope you have a compass with that map and know how to use it.
7. Nobody's kit is perfect...
Based on some other threads GWH - #6 on RX's list of suggestions should be way up on the top of things to add.

Careful which lines you cross GWH. You posted a list and asked for opinions. Remember this......if you don't like the answer, don't ask the question.Quote:
