I agree with you in that with exceptions.The "Altoids"size kits are a back up to a better kit.Doug Ritter has several lists for larger do it yourself kits.An "Altoids" size kit is about an size to keep on you.Without the weight and bulk you are not prone to leave it behind when you may need it most.What good is any size survival kit if you don't have it with you.
