He sure does. Good find. Not a fancy site, but that isnt really what matters.

Wolf, you can find Bee's container here:

Drop the lightstick and get a tiny led light. Gloves are useful for doing first aid on other people, so let that guide your choice. A suggestion -- an spf 30 chapstick. Can be used on your nose, ears, etc in an emergency. tro

Thanks very much!

Good idea on the chapstick! I have some small sunblock sticks (about half the size of a small stick of deodorant) but chapstick would be much more compact!

I bought Blistex ultra protection (SPF 30) once following Doug's recommendation but I just didn't think I could use it on other places than on the lips. I originally thought all the stress on the SPF was because the lips may be more sensitive to the sun than the skin but now it makes more sense...

Thanks -- remember to replace it every year or two when you replace your meds...It is said to wear out.

Woot, you could find pictures online... Good job, I couldn't find any. They are called Lock & Lock containers and are available in a lot of convenience stores, at least here in eastern Canada. <img src="/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

It's probably not 100% waterproof although i'm sure it wouldn't spill too too much, considering this is to bring soup to work and such. <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> So I guess it would be alright.

It's not bulletproof either, I took it with my on a fishing trip last week (way back in the woods, which is why I made my kit in the first place), and it has a little crack in one of the corners. It's still a very sturdy, reliable container IMHO. As for price, I can't really give you specific prices but it was slightly pricier than the cheap sandwich containers. But still affordable.

Hmmm... the chapstick looks too big for my small container. Is that really necessary, in a survival situation?! Hmm... Anyways, here is my slighty updated, v2 survival kit after a little rethinking.



I have replaced the pea whistle with a Fox40 Micro whistle. I also removed the lightstick as per duckear's suggestion (you can see it glowing on the pic!). I guess it doesn't really need the foil wraping after all; i've had it for a long time and, well, it glows nicely! *Looks at wasted lightstick and sighs*. The mirror will be upgraded soon with a real survival mirror with aiming aid. I also want to put my hands on a golf pencil.

I added a few Band-aids.

Things to be purchased : Photon mini-LED light, pain killers such as Empracet (prescription strength), button compass (I can't seem to find one locally), Benadryl (JoeBob's suggestion), sewing bobbin (duckdear's suggestion; rolling the nylon thread around the satin floss bobbin was a real pain and it's not tidy enough to my taste), a few Powerbait nibblers as additionnal bait...

Some of you have suggested Doug's kit... It looks nice but my goal was to make my own kit mostly out of items I already had on hand. I didn't want to invest too much on the kit, that was one of my goals (the most I spent is 15$ CAD on the Gerber knife).

There we go! Weeeee <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I live in an area where sunburn is pretty darn common (103F today and not a cloud in the sky) and I dont carry anything for sunburn in my pocket kit. I would use mud if necessary. In a slightly larger kit I think its justified though (atleast in Texas at this time of year) and I think the chapstick is a great alternative to the sunblock sticks I have been using in the past. When I was talking about chapstick and sunblock sticks in the other reply, I was thinking along the lines of lightweight backpacking or larger kits... not a pocket kit. I apologize for not being clear on that before.
