The Survival Kit In A Can is a small survival kit that consists of the most basic outdoor survival tools and supplies that are the toughest to improvise, craft to spot, or replace. It’s meant to be carried on the person at all times, be suitable for all environments, and be an all-inclusive package without being too large. Other personal equipment will primarily provide additional serviceability and ease of use, but the Mini Survival Kit should provide the basic needs of a survival situation, followed by self-rescue, assistance or return to normalcy in optimal situations.
Two philosophies surround the setting up of small survival (Survival Kit In A Can) groups. Some people like to carry some relatively large items such as knife, matches, whistle, emergency food, water bottle, etc. Others prefer a combination of smaller but more extensive items such as rubber bands, paper clips, fishing gear and fasteners, razors, etc. The decision of which style to opt in depends on the individual’s physical condition, survival skills, knowledge of wildlife, and other factors.
Survival Kit In A Can
Survival tools and supplies included in a small survival kit are usually kept in a container small enough to fit in a pocket. Altoids cans are most commonly used, but many other options exist, including specially purchased mini survival kit cans, survival in a sardine can , regular tobacco cans , life capsules, film cans , plastic bottles, and tin cans or funds. The popular Altoids cans measure 9.3 cm (3.7 in) x 5.8 cm (2.3 in) x 2.1 cm (0.83 in). Some types of containers benefit from waterproofing, which can be done with tape or by dipping the closed container in paraffin wax .
An alternative approach is to carry a mini survival kit item in any container at all, but loosely on a string neck, or directly into a briefcase , pouch or belt pouch. In addition, it may also be included in the belt itself (as in money belts ).

- Fire source: butane lighter , matches , tinder and ferrocerium rod or “life boat matches” and striker board
- Signaling device: small LED light, small signal mirror, or survival whistle
- Candle: Can be used for emergency food if it is made of tallow
Buying food and water
- Fishing line: (30ft (9.1m) to 100ft (30m) or whatever fits the reel)
