I don't have the money to start on a larger emergency kit so I decided to work on what I have right now. My keychain. Right now I only have five items making up my key chain: a car key, a car alarm remote, a 1" split key ring, a caribiner, and a house key. With a few additions to my current key chain I should be able to meet the following emergency needs:

Flashlight
Fire Starting
Knife
Whistle
Waterproof Matches
Water Purification Tablets
Compass
Food

Here are the items that will make up my new keychain.


1. 1" Split Key Ring
1.1. Car Key
1.2. Car Alarm Remote
1.3. LED Mini-Flashlight

2. Hook and Loop Tie Wrap

3. 1" Split Key Ring
3.1. House Key
3.2. Mini Multi-Tool
3.3. Flint and Magnesium Rod
3.4. Metal Waterproof Capsule
3.4.1. Waterproof/Windproof Matches
3.4.2. Water Purification Tablets
3.4.3. Razor Hobby Knife Blade
3.4.4. Additional Capsule Items under consideration


Does anyone have any suggestions for an LED Mini-Flashlight, a Mini Multi-Tool (similar to the Leatherman Micra) or any additions?
