Took me a while to track everything down. And there are still a lot of changes I would like to make. But here are some pictures for now.

I cheat and ranger band the mirror to the outside.

The metal on top of the sand paper is for making a whistle, it works REALLY well, and I can do it one handed. I have hooks taped to the lid. The only things not pictured are tweezers and a razor blade.

I'd like a bigger ferro rod, and some meds.

Suggestions? Comments?

Hi,

You mentioned peanut butter as a firestarter... How is it used as a firestarter, or was it a mistake ??

Ha! Actually, it is a Peanut Lighter! It is the small stainess tube in the lower right corner. I have about 6 of them, and they are amazing!

As a side note, I found that pringles are flammable, and work decent as fire starters.
 
Fritos corn chips also make great fire starters if you can keep from eating them! They will light from a match and burn for several minutes.
