Well, let's see here --

My PSK is in an Altoids tin - it's about the size of a US cigarette pack. In it, I have:

2 small suture strips
1 Curad bandage - 3/4" wide
1 wire saw
1 small magnifying glass
1 utility knife blade
1 water purification tablet
2 Benadryl capsule (antihistamine)
30 ft 150 pound test 3-strand waxed fishing line
1 birthday candle
1 small package Bacitracin (antibiotic ointment)
1 pair La Cross angled-tip tweezers
1 button compass
1 Immodium tablet (anti-diarrheal)
6 strike-anywhere matches
1 fishing kit in a .410 shotgun casing with:
- 5 #6 hooks
- 2 brass swivels
- 5 small lead sinkers
- 2 rubber baits
6 feet snare wire
4 swivels
1 condom (for a water bag)
1 alcohol prep pad
1 providone-iodine prep pad
1 2" square Curad bandage
8 assorted sewing needles (large and small eye)
20 ft nylon thread

The tin is wrapped with about 10 feet of paracord.

I carry a magnesium firestarter, SAK, flashlight, button LED light and a P38 separately.

That give you any ideas? <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

UPDATE:

I picked up a Whitman's Candy sampler tin at Wal Mart the other day - it looked to be a bit bigger than the Altoids tin.

It turns out that in addition to the items above, I can put into the Whitman's tin:

The magnesium fire starter
The P38 can opener (used to strike the sparks)
A mini-BIC lighter
