My Survival Tin

[StuToffee]

Since Ive got the "picture-posting bug", I thought Id post a pic of my current tobacco-tin based kit.
It holds the usual items, plenty of cordage, several firelighting methods, fishing kit, sewing kit & some other items that might not be so easily identifiable (on the bottom row) such as a glue stick & 2 tiny pencils stored in a plastic tube. Ive also put a steel dogtag in there with a pic of my GF on one side & my ID details on the other.

I secure the tin with Ranger bands, wrap with 10' of paracord & put a glowring on the outside so its easy to locate.

Impressive number of items. Can we have a detailed, left to right, row by row list of items.

Can we also see the dog tag BIG without the black bars

You can make bands like that using motorcycle inner tubes. I used lots when I did trail riding, enduro and trials.

I second the big dog tag without the black bars Gotta be honest thats all I saw.

That item labeled "Durex"... That's chewing gum, right?
