Hi all. I'm a new user. I'm setting up my first survival kit, and I'm sure I'll have questions as I go along. I really appreciate all the info here. My 1st question:
In setting up my PSK in an altoids tin, I need to find something to use as a striker for lifeboat matches. I also need a small bobbin for winding thread, etc.Any suggestions?

BTW, for the polar pure tabs, I find that a used empty vial from nitroglycerine pills is a good size, and I think will be resistant to chemical breakdown. They should be easy to get from a local hospital pharmacy for free. I'll try it out and let you know if it works.
