Vacation in an Altoids tin

[Tai Goo]

Here’s some stuff I came up with to go with my fire striker knives in a survival kit. The tweezers are work hardened mild steel, and the rest are spring tempered music wire.

Top to bottom,
Tweezers, poker, gig, spear and hooks.

Looks like a trip to the reservoir. That looks like a lot of fun in a little box.

 

[Tai Goo]

Thanks guys!

Yes, it is fun.

I’m scheming on forging some full blown fishing lures too,… spoons and spinners. Just need to find the time.

Tai
That is sweet, but I thought you like to think "outside the box"

 

[Tai Goo]

LOL

A lot of thought went into it outside the box, but then I put it all inside the box,... Doh!

It ain't a sword but,... here’s the whole shebang.

The striker knife is 1095 and the edge guard is mild steel.

Also in the tin (same size as an Altoids tin):
Watercolor paper liner.
Hard Arkansas flint flake.
Steel wool.
Cotton cord.
Wire.

Hey Tai, I just got my Jan. Blade Mag. It was nice to see you in there, put a face to a name. The mag. The mag. comes late up here in the arctic. Neat stuff here.

I know this is an old post, but holy smokes, that's AWESOME! All a person would need is a very small roll of monofilament to go with it, and you would have an amazing survival kit.

That is awesome Tai! I'd totally buy one of those lol. I'm a sucker for kit and that's one of a kind right there. You never cease to inspire. -- doh, didn't notice it was such an old thread
