Nano FAK/Survival Kit

OK, what on earth is an altoids tin?
I live in NZ and have no idea, i have heard them being mentioned again and again on various forums but have never got the nerve up to ask, i always assumed they were some sort of hemaroids medicine, but with sugar free ones i guess not...

I now assume they are lollies/candy/sweets of some sort that come in a small tin?
A handy tough tin?

Not available here but the tin sounds very useful...anyone out there who would like to sell me one, as mentioned i live in NZ, but would rather like on or two, anyone have a spare or would be prepared to consider shipping drop me a line...
 
Altoids are a type of mint avaliable at least in the US (perhaps Canada). They come in a metal tin, a little smaller than a pack of smokes (american dimensions, don't know if they come in the UK configuration in NZ or not, I would assume so). A deck of cards is also slightly larger than an altoids tin. I'll look into what shipping costs, and perhaps I'll send you a few (they come in a variety of sizes). As long as it doesn't cost a crazy amount, I'll ship you a few if you send me some "airwaves" gum (does this sound right, last time I was in OZ there was a menthollypticus gum that I loved, and cant find anywhere in the US, basically I would be willing to arrange a trade)
 
From personal wound experiance a little superglue goes a long way. For more serious wounds keep some antibiotics around. Debriding the deap wounds with a chance of infection is a must. Sterile gauze to pack the wound once or twice a day. 4x4 patch to cover and good 1 or 2 inch tape. Also keep wound clean with saline solution between packings. I do not think this will fit in such a small package, but is a must in my opinion.
