Sybert ... sounds like you've been reading the SAS Survival Manual. If not, get a hold of one.

Ironraven ... Great idea on the Gift Card tins! I'm gonna' go pick up a couple.

Everyone else ... ketchup is an essential vitamin and mineral. Screw vitamins A-E. Ketchup is what you pour all over third world food - just so you can eat the cr** !!!

Hey Welcome sybert777- I am also a 15 year old newcomer to the forum. But if you want cheap altoids tins or other containers, look at the dollar store or thrift store. (Hope I am not repeating the samething as a whole bunch of y'all).

sybert777,

Welcome to the Forum!!! You may want to check out the cheapo soap holders at the Big Blue Retail store. They are a buck and you can have some real fun with them. I agree with everyone else about begging (asking) people you know. I am going to do that myself. Ironraven made a good point about people shifting their EDC containers. We are always experimenting on here. Since you are a minor, I agree with the others that you need to make sure your parents know what you are doing on this site; I say this as a father. Lastly, use the search function to get an idea of what has been discussed before. Again, welcome to the forum.

I saw that tin today. The hamsters in my head started scurrying about and generating much mayhem concerning the possibilities of that tin. I may just have to buy a few for giggles.

Sybert: Enjoy your time in the mid-West. There is some nice country in southern Indiana. Also, very nice outdoors places in southern Missouri and the Ozarks area. And Wisconsin is not that far from you. So I guess what I'm saying is that there are a lot of good opportunities for you that are not too distant.

Thanks for bringing up the subject of tobacco tins & survival tins. It was a helpful reminder for me.

If you're not particular about the material (ie, most tobacco "tins" aren't metal - they're either plastic or waxed cardboard) - head over to snuson.com

It's a snus user board. They're always chatting about what to do with their empty containers.

If you're okay with plastic containers - you could very easily get a metric ton from those guys.

And - there are still a few brands that come in metal - but not many - and they aren't the popular brands/flavors - might get some though.
