Looking for pics/ideas for my Altoids tin

[Stormstaff]

For some reason when I try the search function, all I get is a blank page.

Any pics and hopefully links would be appreciated. As always, thank you very much for your help and patience with this n00b.

the search function can be a little finicky...i was told that if you use terms that are too general it gets bogged down and you get the blank white page. add more words, you get some results (sometimes)...but some words don't work no matter how specific you are.

I did one in an AOL tin when those things were everywhere:

Thanks for the search tips and thanks to all for the posts. I'm trying not to be too big of a pain, it's just that I'm trying to learn as much as I can and I'm fairly new to the survival "scene".

It's not an Altoids tin, but it is a small tin (actually smaller than an Altoids).

I can't use the "search" feature either, all I get is "you're not a registered member".

Field & Stream did some articles for kits. Read all 19 pages for some good pics:

Makes you wonder how they stuffed all that into a altoids tin. I started using the Whitman's cloisonne tin, I like chocolates better than mints. A small plastic fishing box is even better, but there's no treats.

I can't offer any advice about how to do it, but I can show you how NOT to build an altoids PSK:

If nothing else, reading a few of these should make you feel pretty smart. Enjoy. I do.
