Since you mentioned coffee can...<br><br>I created some kits that I gave away last Christmas to family friends. They were designed to be left in the trunk of a car to be used by non-survival oriented people with no prior experience or interest in preparation. I tried to keep the cost to $25 but it crept up to about $40 per kit. This all fits in a standard 1 gallon paint can. They are better choices for some of the supplies but they cost more and I was trying to keep cost to a minimum and still provide a general use car kit.<br><br>Qty Description<br>1 Bag, trash, lawn size, black<br>1 Band-Aids & Gauze, assorted, in Ziplock<br>1 Bandanna, with First Aid Instructions, white with red trim<br>2 Battery, D-cell, alkaline, black & copper<br>1 Blanket, space, Mylar, silver<br>1 Can, paint, gallon, with metal bale, polished metal<br>3 Candle, Tea, white<br>12 Diaper Wipes, white resealable package<br>1 Flashlight, 2 D-cell, yellow<br>1 Glove, leather, pair<br>1 Knife, imitation Swiss Army Knife, red<br>1 Light Stick, chemical<br>1 Lighter, disposable butane, mini, clear with orange trim<br>1 Listing, contents<br>1 Matches, paperback pack<br>1 Notepad, spiral, 3"x5", blue<br>1 Pen, ballpoint, black<br>1 Pen, permanent marker, "Sharpie", fine line, black<br>1 Pencil, No. 2 with eraser, yellow<br>2 Penny, taped to outside, copper<br>1 Pliers, 8", padded grips<br>1 Poncho, disposable, orange/yellow<br>1 Rope, 1/8" x 48', braided nylon, white<br>12 Safety Pins, 10 medium, 2 large<br>2 Screwdriver, one Phillips, one slotted<br>1 Tape, Duct, ~6', gray<br>1 Whistle, plastic, with lanyard<br>1 Wire, 14 gauge, 10', stranded, red insulation<br>2 Ziplock, 1.5 gallon, clear<br>
