Thank you for watching this video! I never would have thought that this little Altoids kit video would pass the 1 Million views mark. This version of the kit is over 5 years old now. Here is a link to my latest version of the Altoids EDC Kit: th-cam.com/video/MyMNiANaJrQ/w-d-xo.html. I hope you enjoy seeing how this kit as evolved over the years. Cheers! ~Cliff
There's something that SAS survival guide can't teach you ! Real life wilderness experience. You( anyone ) can read a book about survival all you want but if you( the people reading survival guides ) and don't practice, apply that knowledge to real world wilderness experiences it pretty much does no good ! Because there's much more you will learn being out in the thick of it, applying what you know , you'll never learn the best, a better way to use the skills.
I can't believe it either i h8 to h8 on videos you did a great job i just think these items can just be thrown in a sandwich bag n food right n tight n it'll be waterproof also you have all the electronic things how tf are you plan on using those sorry for talking crap just imho this was a waste of my time
@TheUrbanPrepper I am a a bit of a "prepper" and love the outdoors. When I saw the contents of your EDC kit I wanted to be critical as they lack any of the every day items I use. As I patiently watched and waiting for the end of the video to post some critique or negative comment, I slowly began to realize the genius of your kit. You are just in a different type of forest or jungle than I typically am in. Yours is the concrete jungle/office. Your kit began to make perfect since to me. I realized I was the one lacking the preparation. So I am going to make a nice little city tin like yours, and honestly looking forward to it. For all the Armchair survivalists bashing the video, they just lack the intelligence to sit through something that doesn't make since to them long enough to try to see the other persons point of view. Afraid to learn something... I learned a lot from this. Thanks for posting!
"And a paper clip for office type applications". "Hey Bob, do you have a paper clip I can have"? "Sure, gimme like 5 minutes to get it from the mini tin that I keep inside another mini tin that I always carry on me." EDC tin 3.0, tin inside a tin inside a tin inside a ballon that I swallow that's attached to fishing line that's tied to my front tooth...for easier retrieval.
Those of you not subscribed to this channel are missing out a lot. TUP has the best content on TH-cam. His knowledge and organization is second to none
This is good! This is an EDC. Something you can throw in a shorts pocket with your wallet and keys. I'm sure you often times layer on top of what you carry when it's necessary, but I'm sick of some of these guys saying they carry 3 flashlights and 12 knives with them to go to the gym or walk down to their mailbox and back.
I have no idea why people are giving you shit. Sure you are probably caring on you more than I would but it isn't my place to judge what you carry. I copied you and made one of these tins for my car and love it. I have used it multiple times the past few months mainly for my lighter and multitool. Thanks for the great video and thanks for taking the time to share what is important to you.
brasstrombone9 I figure it goes with the territory of making TH-cam videos. I usually check out the channels of people who "give me sh*t" and I have never found one where they too post videos. I feel that those that actually make videos to upload on TH-cam have a good understanding of the amount of work that goes into creating one, especially ones that require a lot of planning, and therefor see things from a wider frame of mind (such as yourself). Sure, I would not expect everyone to want the exact same contents as I do. However, I feel that the organization and strategy could be leveraged towards custom tins of their own. So in the end, I usually take the extreme negative feedback with just a grain of salt. :)
TheUrbanPrepper Years have passed here and I am just passing through Your expression stopped me when you wrote ((So in the end, I usually take the extreme negative feedback with just a grain of salt.))Which made me give you positive feedback and Thank you Sir for Uploading the video and make time to share some thing from your heart
Your prepping/EDC videos are by far my favorite on TH-cam. Super high quality, great content & you have an interesting personality. Keep the vids coming!
I used to carry a Swiss Army Spartan knife -- very basic, large blade, screw driver, awl, toothpick and tweezers, I think. And a cork screw. The latter seems a bit esoteric, right? Then one day I was at a small conference that had a reception at the end of the day, with beer and wine provided by the organizers (not catered). I was chatting with another attendee when I heard someone call out, "Does anybody have a cork screw?" About 40 people laughed and shrugged their shoulders. As I walked over and handed them my Spartan, they were amazed...and I had quite a few new wine-drinking pals. A couple years back I was the only one on my floor of about 20 offices who had a small flashlight ( 2AA Mini-Mag) when the power failed. All my brief cases/"man purses" and computer bags have a flashlight. Why wouldn't you? The point is, EDC is a very personal thing. No one has to be a death's door from lack of a paper clip to make it a simple, useful tool to have when needed. Yes, I was a Boy Scout. "Be prepared" is about mindset. It is as much about learning to think (or more) than it is about what gear you have stashed away. BTW, my key ring has a Micra on it and a micro flashlight. Those who believe pre-thinking your possible daily requirements for handling small problems is somehow paranoid are "non-thinkers." They will be the first to piss and moan when they can't open their wine...and will be the first to trip over each other in the dark when the lights go out.
You are so right! I carry a Swiss Army knife, small flashlight, and other small basic items in my backpack. It’s not like I’m hoarding and my backpack isn’t stuffed to the gills but it just gives me a peace of mind. I was in the military so I too have that preparation mindset. Some friends make friendly jokes about my edc carry but we have been in situations where my gear was needed 😎
Ah! I see you're men of culture as well! I always carry with me the Swiss Army that my mom gave to me like >20 years ago and some analgesics just in case. The memory cards it's a plus if you add some official documents in it if SHTF (earthquakes, hurricanes and stuff like that).
I carry the tiny swiss army knife. No corkscrew on that. But I have a corkscrew in my travel toiletry bag. No more calling room service for a corkscrew!
I am nine years too late - but I love the idea of not only a lens cleaning cloth - but a necessary phone number list - that is brilliant - considering we are all so use ot having that information in our mobile phone, but the concept that if the phone is low on power, you have a time and possible life saver.
You know, it blows my mind that all of the stuff that I would normally have floating around in a junk drawer, pockets, etc would be useful to have on an everyday basis. Particularly if it can all fit into an Altoids tin. Love this video!
Thank you for this. I really want to say this is a good video for people. This kit is put together for real use. Mini Survival kits are nearly useless just due to the fact that 99.9% of people will never be in a survival situation. But nearly every one may get a splinter, need to sew on a button, or get caught in a room where the lights can go out during a storm. This is a great kit that should point people in a more realistic direction. Never hurts to carry "tools" you might need to use than carry a bunch crap you'll probably never Need, Good thinking mate!
Brandon topchev crime rate very high, incompetent "comunist" goverment, no work oportunitys this year we have some elections lets hope the best I keep preparing my self and family for the worst
Altoids recently started (at least in my area) selling the little metal folding top tins/canister things. I find for anyone carrying earbuds take three fingers and wrap starting from your jack to your actual earbuds the entire cable length semi loosely around your fingers and then tuck them inside for a good way to store your earbuds. they stay untangled and protected
Very redundant and most items are for city/office folk that will freak out before going to EDC kit if shit happens - this is one of those " I cant get that time back" videos...if half of your "EDC" kit contains items for making sure your nails look good, something to pick salad out of your teeth, 1 pill so you dont shit yourself, spare button with kevlar thread (wtf?), whistle for someone violating your personal space or having a collapsable pen - then you need a purse, not an altoids can
Ikr lol. Not to mention useless. 911 can direct you to all those numbers. Or 411. What u should have is a list of the emergency services number for various countries. "Whats the number for 911?!" Its no joke. I mean it kind of is. But 911 wont put you through to local law enforcement in all countries. Its 111 or 999 i think in the UK for example.
@@TinManOne9 The video guy will be trimming his nails, writing farewell notes to his daughter and crying because his phone didnt fit in the altoid. I will be busting out my hash, pipe and getting high...
I used to have little kits like this. I'm older now and have found that coming up with solutions on the fly saves pocket space and promotes ingenuity. If I had a handy kit for problems I have each different day, the kit would have to be different each day and still be big as a 5 gallon bucket. Just prepare your mind by being smart and you won't have to waste your pocket space.
It's not wasting space by keeping a small tin of items in pocket. You're only limiting your ability to deal with situations the less gear you have on you. That's up to you, but don't tell others they're wrong for wanting more options to work with. I say each individual chooses what they want, some less, some more. I prefer more options, within the weight and size I can put up with on a daily basis. Some people carry less than you, would you listen to them and leave home with nothing in pockets? 🤔😋
@@richardminnick6797 And that brains memory has learned enough lessons to rightly tell me that the more items I have in my pocket, the easier it'll be to deal with random situations throughout the day. 😉
HAHA! But really, lace up your boots with 20 FEET of 550 PARACORD!!! I laced up each boot with one end of a 10' length of 550 paracord (1100 was too thick) & with the rest of the paracord I braided it with a series of slipknots & tucked this braided excess under my paracord laces. The very last end of the braided paracord is used to finish lacing/tying up my boot. Now when I need cordage I can momentarily untie my "paracord shoestring" & from only one end, pull out as much as I need, cut it off & still be able to re-tie my shoelaces! So with the exception of my dress shoes & one pair of tennies, I walk around everyday with 20' worth of 550 paracord & unless people take a close look, no one ever really notices.
I am SO GLAD that I found your channel. You've definitely earned a new subscriber. All of your ideas are great... but my favorite is having a pic of (in your case- Kid Prepper) loved ones. Thanks & God Bless.
Well, I say that this is a very helpful EDC, compact and complete, don't pay attention to the haters, this things are not only useful, but a training to your mind, to imagine various scenarios, what can you need, how can you use it, and stuff like that, it's not simple as someone can think; good job again.
Thanks. Don't worry. I have thick skin and don't take negative comments to heart. It goes with the territory of making TH-cam videos. I'm glad you enjoyed the video.
Maybe not but certainly great for when you travel and need to sew something or clip your nails. It's a handy little tin when your on vacation or away from home.
Nail clippers underrated: happens surprisingly often you get an annoying skin tag or chip a nail it’s just nice to be able to cut it off with clippers - a knife or swiss army knife scissors are not great substitutes.
I'm actually working on my urban altoids tin and came to your channel because your tins are always the best. Since I'm still in school, I can't have a lighter, knife, or multitool, but I used your tin as a basic idea for mine. :)
in that amount of space, you could get either 4-6€ 1000-1500 Yen just in coins. If you are in an european city and your car rans out of gas, you can actually either put some liters into the tank or if you're hungry, 1500 yen (3 relatively flat coins) in japan get you a very very generous lunch. So this is not as useful in the USA anymore to hide coins. (:
The mini Leatherman deleted the need for 3 of the things you have in the tin and opened up space for other things. You should look in to maybe putting mini chem lights in your tin as well That flashlight won't last forever. Also in your smaller tin, maybe some water purification tabs for that off chance that you are in an SHTF situation and you need water. I don't know about you, but I ain't drinking the water in DC. I'd drop the quarters though. In an emergency situation you're not gonna need to worry about putting money in a vending machine. In my tin I have fishing hooks and a few small sinkers. I wrapped some small 2lb test line around the outside of the tin and then covered it with electrical tape. Just my $.02.
@@jag6262 yup. Since i started seeing these i actually put together an edc kit of my own. Its a backpack so i can carry bigger stuff like rolls of tape a first aid kit in an altoids tin butterfly pliers rain poncho etc.
I don't know where any of the stuff on this video can be of any significant use but a China marker is handy. Maybe this stuff should all go into a junk drawer or a small case of stupid stuff you may need.
Apple Stump Bushcraft Stuff and Things sent me an Altoids can with two screws in it and a bunch of other stuff. The kit saved my butt when my glass display case lost it's hinges on the way to a jewelry and pottery show. If I didn't have hinges my valuables would have been within easy reach of the general public! Screws are great because for many uses they are less likely to slide out. One just wouldn't have been enough!
Proton Mail lol I was thinking the same thing! Haha. Nail clippers, USB, whistle. If shit hit the fan or got to the point where you need a moral support picture of your son those numbers, USB etc wouldn't work. And you would get shot before you pulled out that tiny knife. 4 quarters wouldn't even buy you a skittle. Just keep change in your cup holder, a charger in your car or pocket. Lighter also. Use your teeth instead of the clipper. This is hysterical. I hope you don't need your SHTF tin.
Bobby G. The whole point of this is that it isn't a survival/shtf tin. It's just an everyday tin so you don't have to root through your bag/car for some change or a lighter. It just makes life easier
Rofl bullshit, those quarters are at the bottom of the damn tin. He would have to unpack this gay thing just to get to them lol. Just keep a damn dollar bill on you for fuck sakes
This was great!! I just thought of the Altoids case I have had in my car for a while and was about to throw away cause they had expired... I will throw away the altoids, but after watching this, definitely not the case!
I reuse recycle all types and sizes of pocket sizes of tins and fill them with useful things according to use and need in my work locker car glove box my nylon lunch bag and carry gum-mints in a small altoids tin. The possibilities are endless.
Glad to see an Urban take on the genre. I like other peoples videos, but I'm in Chicago not in the sticks of Georgia. Thanks for bringing it to light! The photo is a great idea.... nice video
I’m glad you enjoyed my responses. I don’t mind negative feedback. I try to answer everyone with respect, even though often times it is not reciprocated. I’m not sure why some viewers seem to be so taken aback by these Altoid Kit videos, or really any videos. We all have our hobby’s: video games, gardening, coding, fishing, etc. I just choose to focus on prepping and sharing a lot of my projects here on TH-cam. That seems to make certain people appalled for some odd reason. I’m glad that you and many others enjoy my videos. I’ll keep cranking them out and will continue to respond to the snide remarks as a gentleman. Thanks RJ!
Hey Cliff, Listen I just had something come up here at home with my mother and it made me think it would probably be a good idea for you to share this with your followers. You see my mother is prescribed several medications for a condition she has that mimics Diabetic Neuropathy. This means a couple of the meds she is prescribed are heavily regulated narcotics. Thing is, my mother like so many others carries so back up meds with her at all times in her purse in a little zip lock baggy. All the time not realizing if she were to be caught with these without her prescription she would go to jail. I don't think a lot of people realize that, and I know many people carry back up medication with them in various forms. Perhaps it would be a good idea to share this with your followers to inform them as well. Having been a state constable here years a ago I knew this and thought it was common knowledge, but it appears not. Have a good one! =)
Enjoyed your Altoids EDC tin. One suggestion a small neodium magnet, you can magnetize your micra screw driver to hold tiny screws from vanishing on the floor . simply brush the magnet across the length of the driver will magnetise it.
Interesting vid. I have kept Altoids in all my vehicles as a breath mint, of course, but when they are empty I have turned them into two burner candles. Good for backpacking. Waterproof matches taped inside on the lid. Also good for power outages. You have given me some new ideas for their use...like how many candles do I really need? (although I have started giving them away as gifts in the last few years) thanks!
This is pretty awesome, but I have a two word suggestion. Word economy. This could have been a 5 minute video. You'd get a lot more response if it were shorter.
Had great fun revisiting this just now. Such a great little pack! Only things that’ve aged a little is you and I, an 8GB flash drive and the USB connectors. It’s all usb c these days. I wonder when USB A will finally be obsolete. Great to have you back by the way 😊
Great kit!! I suggest adding a small spool of kevlar thread, a handcuff key and some snare/garotte wire. Could also add a couple water tabs and a couple Tylenol if you have room.
Every culture in the world has some kind of EDC kit so I don't understand the hate. Daily tools that will need or could use to make things easier, what's wrong with that?
Like a boy Scout always be prepared. Something like this edc tin is great to carry in a back pack when your going to a big city like Seattle or Portland and going on a walking shopping tour by metro bus.
Thanks from a theatre geek, for including gaff tape rather than duck, duct, or gorilla. I will add that it can be torn along either axis, twisted to make a cord, will work as a splint, is waterproof and is not shiny [reflective]. It really does hold the world together,
My wife just got me a Victorinox SwissCard for my birthday. I think it would be perfect for a survival tin. I also think a Newman's Own mint tin makes a better container as the lid is flat and the tin itself is slightly larger.
+tetsubo57 Yeah, I have the lite one. And it fixes the need for tweezers, pen, and a flashlight found in this video. Although I'm guessing it is better be kept in the wallet rather than a tin like this.
+Anton Adelson The problem with that is the plastic can suffer stress over time. My old one broke. I made a guard for my new one to prevent that from happening again. In a tin it would be safer.
tetsubo57 May I ask you where you keep your wallet? The reason for this is because I keep my wallet in a bag and I imagine it'd go through a lot more stress if it was kept in my pant pocket. Especially the back one.
AWEsome!!! Just ran across your channel and this is genius. I would have never thought of carrying a thumb drive, that is worth the price of admission alone!
Small price to pay when you really need a Snickers! lol. No, but seriously, putting it all back is no problem if you're trapped in a collapsed parking garage and really need a tiny light because your cell phone was smashed. Just saying.
Don't let a "clever" way of thinking limit your thought process. The numbers in case your phone is dead - useless on your dead phone. Emergency situation with a dead phone : 1) Someone comes by with a live phone, and you don't know the phone number of a single person you know. Opps. 2) Someone comes by with a phone that works, and you are able to meet up with whoever due to this miracle you were prepared for because your though process is not limited by....YOU. b
It's always fascinating to see what other people have in their EDC tins. You have inspired me to adjust a few things in mine. Like adding a lighter, some paper, needle (self threading) with thread and micro USB adapters for lightning and C type - because there is always a micro USB cable around or I always carry my lightning cable so it's the C type adapter which could be useful. I know the info is over 5 years old but all still very useful. I was surprised you didn't have a Fisher Space pen in the tin but I found out later you carry 2 on your person - I do too - but not 2 lol. However once in a blue moon I lose one - usually in the car but I have backups at home. They are great pens. I like your videos as they are so informative and you update as well. Great suggestion on the photo and telephone numbers on the lid. I even put £10 at the bottom for emergencies. Cheers from the UK!
Thanks for reminding me to get a new Micra; TSA took mine off my key chain. Since we have snow on the ground at least 70% of the year, I like a red or orange lighter so it can be found if dropped. Also, thanks for sharing your list.
I like using altoid and other tins. I think I'll put a magnet on the back of one to keep on the fridge. Easy to grab on the way out the door. You can customize these tins as well. Good Christmas stocking stuffer!
Uuuggghh! You try so hard to hare your thoughts and expressions with us and still, there is still some people who try to knock you down! who knows! Maybe they would be helped by a prepper and then discriminate them! some people
TheUrbanPrepper Aahhh! you replied!! one of the happiest moments of my life!! anyway thank you for the reply. but in regards of what you said, yes it does take extremely thick skin!! oh P.S. you should have some more videos featuring kid prepper since its een awhile :-)
Erika Pilon Wow! I'm glad you enjoyed receiving my response to your comment. You're right. Kid Prepper is about due for another cameo appearance. I am thinking about doing another emergency food ration bar challenge soon (dreading it, actually). He always likes joining me for those videos. Stay tuned! Thanks for supporting my channel, Erika. :)
There are some really great ideas in your video. Well done and I've incorporated a lot of them. The second tin idea is great. I added a paper ruler (free from IKEA) to wrap the nails, string and matches into a bundle. Thanks!
Ryan U you might need to fill a tire with air. Quarters make pretty good screwdrivers. Flipping a coin helps break indecision. You can drop one for depth perception. Some people carve them into art for trade. It can be used as bait in an idiot trap. Poke a hole in it and it’s a weight. ESP for fishing line.
Danny C hahah see what I mean? It’s a great idiot trap. And you totally revealed your approximate age group. But that just shows some want to be caught.
57HarleyDavidson you put a quarter somewhere where it can be seen or where you are watching an area. If it disappears it demonstrates someone was there. It can make someone stop to pick it up. So you can set a trap. Like leaving a dollar on your desk. It’s temptation that is set for the trap. It makes them stop look and you gain seconds.
Don't you get sick taking all those items out for just a toothpick, or a USB cable or anything in that tin for the matter? If I had that I would just wait till I got home for a nail clippers instead of wasting time taking everything out, getting what you need, then having to put everything back in. I just don't see it as a practical use, it will just waste your time. How do you deal with that?
I have some only for emergency so i won't open them. For EDC i dont fill them up too packed. It will keep some things uncrushed and you know where it is always... Need a light? In the box in my pocket. I always know where it is and if i have it with me. Some things like fire, light, rope. I work alot with rope and boxes so a small knife is fine to put in because i use it often...
The Leatherman tool has a nail file, scissors and tweezers. Why would you include separate tweezers and nail clippers in the tin? Obviously the key to survival is being well manicured..

Will be nice to add one of those really small water pill.
Nice vid liked it why do you need a liter
I can't believe it either i h8 to h8 on videos you did a great job i just think these items can just be thrown in a sandwich bag n food right n tight n it'll be waterproof also you have all the electronic things how tf are you plan on using those sorry for talking crap just imho this was a waste of my time
Inside the smaller tin that you opened last it would be awesome if there was one more even smaller tin with one actual altoid in it...

I used to carry a Swiss Army Spartan knife -- very basic, large blade, screw driver, awl, toothpick and tweezers, I think. And a cork screw. The latter seems a bit esoteric, right? Then one day I was at a small conference that had a reception at the end of the day, with beer and wine provided by the organizers (not catered). I was chatting with another attendee when I heard someone call out, "Does anybody have a cork screw?" About 40 people laughed and shrugged their shoulders. As I walked over and handed them my Spartan, they were amazed...and I had quite a few new wine-drinking pals.
A couple years back I was the only one on my floor of about 20 offices who had a small flashlight ( 2AA Mini-Mag) when the power failed. All my brief cases/"man purses" and computer bags have a flashlight. Why wouldn't you?
The point is, EDC is a very personal thing. No one has to be a death's door from lack of a paper clip to make it a simple, useful tool to have when needed. Yes, I was a Boy Scout. "Be prepared" is about mindset. It is as much about learning to think (or more) than it is about what gear you have stashed away. BTW, my key ring has a Micra on it and a micro flashlight.
Those who believe pre-thinking your possible daily requirements for handling small problems is somehow paranoid are "non-thinkers." They will be the first to piss and moan when they can't open their wine...and will be the first to trip over each other in the dark when the lights go out.
Very well said +1
You are so right! I carry a Swiss Army knife, small flashlight, and other small basic items in my backpack. It’s not like I’m hoarding and my backpack isn’t stuffed to the gills but it just gives me a peace of mind. I was in the military so I too have that preparation mindset. Some friends make friendly jokes about my edc carry but we have been in situations where my gear was needed 😎
Ah! I see you're men of culture as well!
I always carry with me the Swiss Army that my mom gave to me like >20 years ago and some analgesics just in case.
The memory cards it's a plus if you add some official documents in it if SHTF (earthquakes, hurricanes and stuff like that).
I carry the tiny swiss army knife. No corkscrew on that. But I have a corkscrew in my travel toiletry bag. No more calling room service for a corkscrew!
I under stand what you are saying, but it is better to be prepared right!
I am nine years too late - but I love the idea of not only a lens cleaning cloth - but a necessary phone number list - that is brilliant - considering we are all so use ot having that information in our mobile phone, but the concept that if the phone is low on power, you have a time and possible life saver.
You know, it blows my mind that all of the stuff that I would normally have floating around in a junk drawer, pockets, etc would be useful to have on an everyday basis. Particularly if it can all fit into an Altoids tin. Love this video!
Thank you for this. I really want to say this is a good video for people. This kit is put together for real use. Mini Survival kits are nearly useless just due to the fact that 99.9% of people will never be in a survival situation. But nearly every one may get a splinter, need to sew on a button, or get caught in a room where the lights can go out during a storm. This is a great kit that should point people in a more realistic direction.
Never hurts to carry "tools" you might need to use than carry a bunch crap you'll probably never Need, Good thinking mate!
That awkward moment when you actually watching this from Caracas Venezuela
Is it that bad their?

ARE YOU OK
Altoids recently started (at least in my area) selling the little metal folding top tins/canister things. I find for anyone carrying earbuds take three fingers and wrap starting from your jack to your actual earbuds the entire cable length semi loosely around your fingers and then tuck them inside for a good way to store your earbuds. they stay untangled and protected
Good idea !
"This is going to be a quick video", Read's out entire list of emergency contacts...
Very redundant and most items are for city/office folk that will freak out before going to EDC kit if shit happens - this is one of those " I cant get that time back" videos...if half of your "EDC" kit contains items for making sure your nails look good, something to pick salad out of your teeth, 1 pill so you dont shit yourself, spare button with kevlar thread (wtf?), whistle for someone violating your personal space or having a collapsable pen - then you need a purse, not an altoids can
@@TinManOne9 😂
Ikr lol. Not to mention useless. 911 can direct you to all those numbers. Or 411. What u should have is a list of the emergency services number for various countries. "Whats the number for 911?!" Its no joke. I mean it kind of is. But 911 wont put you through to local law enforcement in all countries. Its 111 or 999 i think in the UK for example.
@@TinManOne9 The video guy will be trimming his nails, writing farewell notes to his daughter and crying because his phone didnt fit in the altoid. I will be busting out my hash, pipe and getting high...
LOLOL
I used to have little kits like this. I'm older now and have found that coming up with solutions on the fly saves pocket space and promotes ingenuity. If I had a handy kit for problems I have each different day, the kit would have to be different each day and still be big as a 5 gallon bucket. Just prepare your mind by being smart and you won't have to waste your pocket space.
The best EDC kit is between your ears.
its easier to stay prepared
It's not wasting space by keeping a small tin of items in pocket. You're only limiting your ability to deal with situations the less gear you have on you. That's up to you, but don't tell others they're wrong for wanting more options to work with. I say each individual chooses what they want, some less, some more. I prefer more options, within the weight and size I can put up with on a daily basis. Some people carry less than you, would you listen to them and leave home with nothing in pockets? 🤔😋
@@richardminnick6797 And that brains memory has learned enough lessons to rightly tell me that the more items I have in my pocket, the easier it'll be to deal with random situations throughout the day. 😉
I keep mints in mine, you never know when you might have a mint emergency
Don't you mean a bad breath emergency?
Or a eMINTgency! Haha
Love is in the air! Thanks for having a sense of humor!
In Venezuela the tin would include a Beretta Micro

I'm going to knit a paracord shirt and wear it everyday
+Edgar Avila I'd love to see that, Edgar!
that shirt would weigh a ton. especially sized for an Internet troll ;)
HAHA! But really, lace up your boots with 20 FEET of 550 PARACORD!!!
I laced up each boot with one end of a 10' length of 550 paracord (1100 was too thick) & with the rest of the paracord I braided it with a series of slipknots & tucked this braided excess under my paracord laces. The very last end of the braided paracord is used to finish lacing/tying up my boot. Now when I need cordage I can momentarily untie my "paracord shoestring" & from only one end, pull out as much as I need, cut it off & still be able to re-tie my shoelaces! So with the exception of my dress shoes & one pair of tennies, I walk around everyday with 20' worth of 550 paracord & unless people take a close look, no one ever really notices.
Christian Prepper
I've a paracord belt.
Edgar Avila
Weave, not knit. Lol.
That has got to be the most complete, and most practical, Altoid tin kit I have ever seen. Nicely done!
I am SO GLAD that I found your channel. You've definitely earned a new subscriber. All of your ideas are great... but my favorite is having a pic of (in your case- Kid Prepper) loved ones. Thanks & God Bless.
Well, I say that this is a very helpful EDC, compact and complete, don't pay attention to the haters, this things are not only useful, but a training to your mind, to imagine various scenarios, what can you need, how can you use it, and stuff like that, it's not simple as someone can think; good job again.
Thanks. Don't worry. I have thick skin and don't take negative comments to heart. It goes with the territory of making TH-cam videos. I'm glad you enjoyed the video.

I do it as a joke to try raise a few laughs and hope you don't take offence.
Some of the others?
Haters gonna hate. Lol.
For all those times when I’m clipping my nails and sewing during work.
Maybe not but certainly great for when you travel and need to sew something or clip your nails. It's a handy little tin when your on vacation or away from home.
Nail clippers underrated: happens surprisingly often you get an annoying skin tag or chip a nail it’s just nice to be able to cut it off with clippers - a knife or swiss army knife scissors are not great substitutes.
8 years later still useful stuff
I remember when this video first came hard to believe its been 8 freakin years!!!!
This is TRULY THE BEST VIDEO ON PACKING AN ALTOID TIN!!!!
When packaging a razorblade, put tape on the blade edge to ensure it stays sharp. Rubbing on the tin will dull the blade.
When packing the razor blade, how about just leaving the cardboard protective wrapper on that came with it in the first place?
Add crazy glue. Perfect for fixing something or patching up a deep cut on you.
I'm actually working on my urban altoids tin and came to your channel because your tins are always the best. Since I'm still in school, I can't have a lighter, knife, or multitool, but I used your tin as a basic idea for mine. :)
Superb! I was hooked with altoids survival kit. You have scored a perfect 100%
The TSA must love you.
Randy butternubs Haha... Yes they do. :)
*****
The Amazon.com reviews on this light put me off buying it.
I need one dollar (digs through entire tin to get to it)
Jordan Lovejoy - then takes 15 minutes to repack tin.
I’d rather dig through a tin for one dollar, than not have a dollar
Assuming you have a wallet, this is for emergency cases, hence why the quarters aren't in a priority position.
in that amount of space, you could get either 4-6€ 1000-1500 Yen just in coins. If you are in an european city and your car rans out of gas, you can actually either put some liters into the tank or if you're hungry, 1500 yen (3 relatively flat coins) in japan get you a very very generous lunch. So this is not as useful in the USA anymore to hide coins. (:
for the quality, time and effort you put into your videos....you deserve way more subs!
Thank you so much. I'm blessed to have the number of subs I currently have.
WOW... a nailcutter and a USB cable. Prepared for WWIII. Live today!!
And this video is from 2014, today we are even worse here in Caracas Venezuela we need a bug out bag for a daily carry on. Greetings from Venezuela

He has a small tin labeled "Survival Gear"... Full of Altoids. :)
Awkward moment
They'll see a cute kid and are inn for a surprise
The mini Leatherman deleted the need for 3 of the things you have in the tin and opened up space for other things. You should look in to maybe putting mini chem lights in your tin as well That flashlight won't last forever. Also in your smaller tin, maybe some water purification tabs for that off chance that you are in an SHTF situation and you need water. I don't know about you, but I ain't drinking the water in DC. I'd drop the quarters though. In an emergency situation you're not gonna need to worry about putting money in a vending machine. In my tin I have fishing hooks and a few small sinkers. I wrapped some small 2lb test line around the outside of the tin and then covered it with electrical tape. Just my $.02.
Also maybe stfu
Yes, but this is just an EDC, not a survival kit.
I love this! My brother showed me what he puts in his Altoid tin. He also has a mini mag fire starter that he has on his keychain.
I love how different we all are, you can see just by watching a altoids tin video.
Nice kit.
I'm assuming this isn't survival based. It's 'normal day I need a random thing' based...?
Pat Maloney
Let's hope so, because it's useless in any other context.
Thats what EDC means.
@@misterturkturkle It stands for "Every day carry" right?
@@jag6262 yup. Since i started seeing these i actually put together an edc kit of my own. Its a backpack so i can carry bigger stuff like rolls of tape a first aid kit in an altoids tin butterfly pliers rain poncho etc.
@@misterturkturkle Yeah, a streamlined everyday backpack seems like a great Idea
I'd recommend a cut down China marker. You can use it to write on anything, and in the rain.
I don't know where any of the stuff on this video can be of any significant use but a China marker is handy. Maybe this stuff should all go into a junk drawer or a small case of stupid stuff you may need.
when I was in army I kept a pack of smokes in my altoids tin.
Steven Curcio
That's all you need haha. I'd take a smoke over a nail clipper any day

Great video. There's no way in this world I could pack a tin that tight and get everything to fit. Kudos to you for a job well done.
Apple Stump Bushcraft Stuff and Things sent me an Altoids can with two screws in it and a bunch of other stuff. The kit saved my butt when my glass display case lost it's hinges on the way to a jewelry and pottery show. If I didn't have hinges my valuables would have been within easy reach of the general public! Screws are great because for many uses they are less likely to slide out. One just wouldn't have been enough!
Took me a while before I realized that EDC stands for every day carry! Duh
Sooner or later somebody is going to translate EDC.
Thanks !
Thank u sm I was wondering what the heck it meant
this is basically a soccer mom kit
Proton Mail lol I was thinking the same thing! Haha. Nail clippers, USB, whistle. If shit hit the fan or got to the point where you need a moral support picture of your son those numbers, USB etc wouldn't work. And you would get shot before you pulled out that tiny knife. 4 quarters wouldn't even buy you a skittle. Just keep change in your cup holder, a charger in your car or pocket. Lighter also. Use your teeth instead of the clipper. This is hysterical. I hope you don't need your SHTF tin.
Bobby G. The whole point of this is that it isn't a survival/shtf tin. It's just an everyday tin so you don't have to root through your bag/car for some change or a lighter. It just makes life easier
This is an ad kit
Proton Mail lol I thought it was pretty cool
Rofl bullshit, those quarters are at the bottom of the damn tin. He would have to unpack this gay thing just to get to them lol. Just keep a damn dollar bill on you for fuck sakes
This was great!! I just thought of the Altoids case I have had in my car for a while and was about to throw away cause they had expired... I will throw away the altoids, but after watching this, definitely not the case!
Ulises Corado Awesome! Please keep me posted on your upcoming Altoids Tin project. :)
I reuse recycle all types and sizes of pocket sizes of tins and fill them with useful things according to use and need in my work locker car glove box my nylon lunch bag and carry gum-mints in a small altoids tin. The possibilities are endless.
I really like how you repeat things at the end of each description.
. Very helpful!
Glad to see an Urban take on the genre. I like other peoples videos, but I'm in Chicago not in the sticks of Georgia. Thanks for bringing it to light! The photo is a great idea.... nice video
The confused moment when you are watching this from very rural wooded Maine... :D wondering, where's the survival kit?
@AwsomeOE YT she obviously doesnt like u
HAHAHA Bravo Cliff, I think you have handled the snide remarks like a scholar and a gentleman.
I’m glad you enjoyed my responses. I don’t mind negative feedback. I try to answer everyone with respect, even though often times it is not reciprocated. I’m not sure why some viewers seem to be so taken aback by these Altoid Kit videos, or really any videos. We all have our hobby’s: video games, gardening, coding, fishing, etc. I just choose to focus on prepping and sharing a lot of my projects here on TH-cam. That seems to make certain people appalled for some odd reason. I’m glad that you and many others enjoy my videos. I’ll keep cranking them out and will continue to respond to the snide remarks as a gentleman. Thanks RJ!
Hey Cliff,
Listen I just had something come up here at home with my mother and it made me think it would probably be a good idea for you to share this with your followers. You see my mother is prescribed several medications for a condition she has that mimics Diabetic Neuropathy. This means a couple of the meds she is prescribed are heavily regulated narcotics. Thing is, my mother like so many others carries so back up meds with her at all times in her purse in a little zip lock baggy. All the time not realizing if she were to be caught with these without her prescription she would go to jail. I don't think a lot of people realize that, and I know many people carry back up medication with them in various forms. Perhaps it would be a good idea to share this with your followers to inform them as well. Having been a state constable here years a ago I knew this and thought it was common knowledge, but it appears not. Have a good one! =)
Great set up man! AWESOME video as well!
i know its AWSOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Enjoyed your Altoids EDC tin. One suggestion a small neodium magnet, you can magnetize your micra screw driver to hold tiny screws from vanishing on the floor . simply brush the magnet across the length of the driver will magnetise it.
Interesting vid. I have kept Altoids in all my vehicles as a breath mint, of course, but when they are empty I have turned them into two burner candles. Good for backpacking. Waterproof matches taped inside on the lid. Also good for power outages. You have given me some new ideas for their use...like how many candles do I really need? (although I have started giving them away as gifts in the last few years) thanks!
Wow! I'm impressed on how many useful items you could cram into such a small container. Good job sir!
So am i
Good stuff. I like how your EDC survival tin has it's own internal survival tin. Ha ha.

Had great fun revisiting this just now. Such a great little pack! Only things that’ve aged a little is you and I, an 8GB flash drive and the USB connectors. It’s all usb c these days. I wonder when USB A will finally be obsolete. Great to have you back by the way 😊
Great kit!! I suggest adding a small spool of kevlar thread, a handcuff key and some snare/garotte wire. Could also add a couple water tabs and a couple Tylenol if you have room.

Every culture in the world has some kind of EDC kit so I don't understand the hate. Daily tools that will need or could use to make things easier, what's wrong with that?
Like a boy Scout always be prepared. Something like this edc tin is great to carry in a back pack when your going to a big city like Seattle or Portland and going on a walking shopping tour by metro bus.
Dang I know I’m 8 years late to the party, but if you sold pre-made kits like this I’d buy a few in a heartbeat
Agreed. This is so practical. I would pay up to $20-$25+ tax
Thanks from a theatre geek, for including gaff tape rather than duck, duct, or gorilla. I will add that it can be torn along either axis, twisted to make a cord, will work as a splint, is waterproof and is not shiny [reflective]. It really does hold the world together,
My wife just got me a Victorinox SwissCard for my birthday. I think it would be perfect for a survival tin. I also think a Newman's Own mint tin makes a better container as the lid is flat and the tin itself is slightly larger.
+tetsubo57 Yeah, I have the lite one. And it fixes the need for tweezers, pen, and a flashlight found in this video. Although I'm guessing it is better be kept in the wallet rather than a tin like this.
+Anton Adelson The problem with that is the plastic can suffer stress over time. My old one broke. I made a guard for my new one to prevent that from happening again. In a tin it would be safer.
tetsubo57 May I ask you where you keep your wallet? The reason for this is because I keep my wallet in a bag and I imagine it'd go through a lot more stress if it was kept in my pant pocket. Especially the back one.
+tetsubo57 I'm guessing a cargo pocket is different from what I've just said.
MacGyver, you could have made 7 more seasons if you had one of these!

Very nice kit, had some things I hadn't thought of. I'm considering moving to a tin-based EDC myself, as I am not a fan of loose pocket carry.
AWEsome!!! Just ran across your channel and this is genius. I would have never thought of carrying a thumb drive, that is worth the price of admission alone!
Julian 3 if you want a tiny flash drive, the SanDisk Cruzer Fit is even smaller than that one, and you can get it up to 64gb, not just 8gb
the only thing wrong with this is if you need something in it you have to dig for it then you have to arrange it all back
Small price to pay when you really need a Snickers! lol. No, but seriously, putting it all back is no problem if you're trapped in a collapsed parking garage and really need a tiny light because your cell phone was smashed. Just saying.
Just in case I don't have the will to survive, I would include a 50ml bottle of booze and a cigarette.
I love the emergency numbers in case your phone's dead. So....how are you going to call those numbers with a dead phone?
luvmykids71 4 quarters
Don't let a "clever" way of thinking limit your thought process. The numbers in case your phone is dead - useless on your dead phone.
Emergency situation with a dead phone :
1) Someone comes by with a live phone, and you don't know the phone number of a single person you know. Opps.
2) Someone comes by with a phone that works, and you are able to meet up with whoever due to this miracle you were prepared for because your though process is not limited by....YOU.

Society falling apart in the scenario and folk imagine any phones will work?
That optimism at it's best. Lol.
Billy Andrew you do realize a person might need phone numbers without society falling apart, right?
Awesome list! A small birthday candle is also a great idea (more so in wilderness survival) as it will hold your flame for a while.
It's always fascinating to see what other people have in their EDC tins. You have inspired me to adjust a few things in mine. Like adding a lighter, some paper, needle (self threading) with thread and micro USB adapters for lightning and C type - because there is always a micro USB cable around or I always carry my lightning cable so it's the C type adapter which could be useful. I know the info is over 5 years old but all still very useful. I was surprised you didn't have a Fisher Space pen in the tin but I found out later you carry 2 on your person - I do too - but not 2 lol. However once in a blue moon I lose one - usually in the car but I have backups at home. They are great pens. I like your videos as they are so informative and you update as well. Great suggestion on the photo and telephone numbers on the lid. I even put £10 at the bottom for emergencies. Cheers from the UK!
I would say carry around $2 in quarters because everything in those machine high now
I thought there would be an even smaller tin inside the little one. Tins all the way down.
imagine my surprise when i watched this and learned that 4 quarters is not money.
deth502 LOL!
+deth502 i was heading down to say something similar but you saved me the energy.
Thanks for reminding me to get a new Micra; TSA took mine off my key chain. Since we have snow on the ground at least 70% of the year, I like a red or orange lighter so it can be found if dropped. Also, thanks for sharing your list.
I like using altoid and other tins. I think I'll put a magnet on the back of one to keep on the fridge. Easy to grab on the way out the door. You can customize these tins as well. Good Christmas stocking stuffer!

There are some really great ideas in your video. Well done and I've incorporated a lot of them. The second tin idea is great. I added a paper ruler (free from IKEA) to wrap the nails, string and matches into a bundle. Thanks!
Meth heads would love this.
do you really need quarters? In a emergency situation, do you think you care about putting them in parking meters?
Ryan U you might need to fill a tire with air. Quarters make pretty good screwdrivers. Flipping a coin helps break indecision. You can drop one for depth perception. Some people carve them into art for trade. It can be used as bait in an idiot trap. Poke a hole in it and it’s a weight. ESP for fishing line.
Danny C hahah see what I mean? It’s a great idiot trap. And you totally revealed your approximate age group. But that just shows some want to be caught.
@Danny C Pay Phone are still around and still in operation
@@blairbushproject What do you mean by idiot trap?
57HarleyDavidson you put a quarter somewhere where it can be seen or where you are watching an area. If it disappears it demonstrates someone was there. It can make someone stop to pick it up. So you can set a trap. Like leaving a dollar on your desk. It’s temptation that is set for the trap. It makes them stop look and you gain seconds.
Don't you get sick taking all those items out for just a toothpick, or a USB cable or anything in that tin for the matter? If I had that I would just wait till I got home for a nail clippers instead of wasting time taking everything out, getting what you need, then having to put everything back in. I just don't see it as a practical use, it will just waste your time. How do you deal with that?
I have some only for emergency so i won't open them.
For EDC i dont fill them up too packed.
It will keep some things uncrushed and you know where it is always...
Need a light? In the box in my pocket. I always know where it is and if i have it with me.
Some things like fire, light, rope. I work alot with rope and boxes so a small knife is fine to put in because i use it often...
Mind blown when you pulled out the mini compartment!
Haha... Awesome!
Very well engineered, sir. I'll bet you're a very talented software engineer, too.
but white lighters are bad luck...
why is that?
Only crack abusers buy white lighters
The Leatherman tool has a nail file, scissors and tweezers. Why would you include separate tweezers and nail clippers in the tin? Obviously the key to survival is being well manicured..
Dude, you put Boy Scouts to shame....
Haha. My son just joined Cub Scouts. I'm going to be helping out our den.
