Old Faithful, back with another update <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

This time around I've added a pencil sharpener for tinder.

The only thing left I'd like to do to it is get ahold of some of those food saver vaccum things and include more medication, both in variety and quantity.



1 Gerber Babymilk Bags (5)
2 Tin Body, pocket chainsaw
3 Signal Mirror
4 Rite in the Rain paper, small pen, tin lid
5 Micropur MP-1 Purification Tablets
6 Altoids mini with lots of little things in it*
7 Mix of NATO wind/waterproof matches, and hurricane matches. Also includes trick relight candle wicks
8 Sewing thingie. I think fishing line would be better for this...
9 Compressed Sponge (Art grade... looking for medical grade though), finger loops for saw, 2 ranger bands (to help keep the tin shut)
10 Tinder Quik and pencil sharpener
11 More purification tablets
12 Meds (Immodium, No Doz)
13 Cardboard seperator (goes on top of saw to avoid abrading the other contents), leatherman micra, safety pins
14 LED lights (the kind used in fishing bobbers)
15 (from left to right) P-38, Bic Mini, Spark Lite, magnesium firestarter, relight candle, duct tape
16 Antibiotic ointment, iodine wipes, alcohol wipes
17 2x2 gauze
18 Fresnel magnifying lens, whistle
19 Sewing needles (straight and curved)
20 Gerber Ridge Knife, Belt clip removed
21 Micro lenser LED light
22 Straight Razors
23 Band aids, butterfly sutures
24 Sterile Scalpel Blade

*In the picture, the mini altoids tin shows the fishing line, squishy fishing lures, small split shot weights, swivels, small chain, hooks, and (not shown) 5 hooks with leaders. When the tin is packed, the duct tape, P-38, candle, and one of the small LED lights fit neatly in there

Great kit Burncycle! A little different than what I carry but same functions. Cheers!

Nice PSK!

I'll tell you one thing I really like a lot, and have been thinking about this myself... I like how you keep all the small fishing items together in the mini Altoids tin.

I'd like to do the same, and compartmentalize and/or package separate items in smaller containers within my PSK. This probably wouldn't be necessary for all items, or in a PSK where there are only a few items, but it could help in a detailed PSK.

My main reasoning for this came from opening my PSK tin up when my fingers were cold, and a little numb. I popped the lid and the contents went everywhere. I could imagine something similar happening if I were wearing gloves or had to open the kit one handed.

Granted once you start to put boxes within boxes, space becomes an issue, but as I mentioned before I don't think it would be necessary for all items.

How big is the SAS tin, Burncycle?

I seen this picture in other forum(and some more).
But I can´t rember the site.

How big is your main tin, and were did you get it?

I'm using a Frnech?Belgian? mess kit from the 50s(?), but that looks like a much better option.

It started out as a Pro Force combat survival kit (generic SAS tin thing).
I didn't get it from here, but it shows a decent picture: http://www.diamondbacktactical.com/Proforce-Combat-Survival-Kit-P494C79.aspx

Rough measurements... it's about 5" x 3.6" x 1.125" (interior depth)

I'd reccomend blister packed meds instead of the kind in the pic, they're more durable and much more space efficient.

Where's the duct tape?

Where did you get the saw?

Duct tape is #15 (group) just to the right of the green candle.

I'm hoping to get my hands on a foodsaver vaccum thing for meds <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Duct tape is on the right side under number 15
