Hi folks, The scout troop I am in is looking to make PSK and the thought was to have each boy bring in a component, where it gets tricky is the cost. the troop is not well funded and I am trying to keep the cost down. We were looking at Altoids tin type PSK

is $5 even remotely feasible? Keep in mind this would be a supplement to the 10 essentials

  • Pocketknife (when you complete Totin’ Chip training)
  • First aid kit
  • Extra clothing
  • Rain gear
  • Water bottle (1 liter)
  • Flashlight or headlamp
  • Trail food
  • Matches/Fire starter (when you complete Firem’n Chit training)
  • Sun protection
  • Map and compass


any idea on what to use would be great
