Smallest Kit?

[sgtmike88]

What's in your smallest survival kit and what do you carry those items in? Also, what are the dimensions and weight of the packed kit?

Is this one small enough for you?

What timing,I just found my ideal small kit!I got it at EMS,its made by "New Sun".Its a cordura pouch a little smaller than you back pocket.Its "C" shaped with a zipper around what would be the solid part of the "C" and it folds over at what would be the open part.It has a caribener at the top,and 2 small outside pockets.Unzip it and fold it open and it now has 2 sides with inside pockets and elastic straps on the outside of the pockets.This is my around town kit,that is local trails,the park with the kids,ect.I keep a pack 1 first aid kit in one pocket, under the straps of that pocket I keep a Photon II,SAK,and lighter.On the other side I carry either a bandana or a small leaf bag.Outside pocket has 10 feet of para cord,the other outside ID,cash.

This is in part a comfort kit as well as survival.I love the caribener it is great for clipping to your belt loop,and it will be great for the handle bars of a bike ect.I started out looking for something to use in the summer,I often run around in shorts sandels and little else, and wanted something small for my Id,cash,keys and a place to stash my BM 710 when at peoples house for swimming,cookouts ect.

Yep!
Its pretty small!

I like making survival kits, this one was fun to make. Although I have forgotten that I had it with me a couple of times Witch was kinda neat. Got back from jogging the other day and was surprize that I still had it on.
