your kit sounds quite useful for an urban daily carried kit. I carry an Altoids tin FAK similar to yours though I have added tweezers, scissors, magnifying glass, sewing kit, eyeglass repair tools, pen and paper. And an Altoids tin PSK with a list of contents similar to that suggested by Doug on this site.<br><br>I think that you will find the electrical tape paracord and ranger bands in the way when you go to patch up a bloody knee. I keep one ranger band around the FAK to hold it closed but I don't worry about sealing it. I am into it very regularly to patch up skinned knees for my daughters (this is not a sexist slant indicating that my son's don't need such things - I have no sons) I have found that bandaids stop tears and self-pity faster than they stop blood. <br><br>I keep the PSK sealed with electrical tape, paracord and ranger bands because I need those items for that kit and I probably won't be into that kit unless the s***t really hits the fan. It is not wholely necessary in an urban environment, as you mentioned, there is little likelyhood that I will need a snare or fishing kit in town but there it is. A kit for survival needs that contains tools for survival. <br><br>I wouldn't want to have to unwrapp, untape and unpack my PSK to get a piece of moleskin or bandaid out on the play ground. Simply taking the ranger band off and replaceing it is much quicker and easier. <br><br>I like the Altoids box but I am not sure that a soft-sided FAK wouldn't be better since it would be easier to re-pack and reclose. Though the temptation to pack more and more in is limited by the restrictions of the Altoids tin .... OK, so now I'm rambling.... <br><br>TTFN
