what can you cram into a 2 1/4 x 2" tin?

much more than I thought

sparklite w/ four tinder-quicks; 2" fire steel w/ loop; 2" hacksaw blade w/ a little cordage to connect to the steel; 2 wetfire tinder cubes (if you haven't seen these- they are simply amazing- will literally burn in water http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bWvwKEoBhP0&feature=related); two fire straws

packed

closed w/ ranger band

For Christmas of 1969 (im getting old) my parents gave me a survival kit that was housed in one of the two piece plastic cigarette cases. It was a neverending source of amazement as to how much was fitted into it.
