I love how creative people are getting with these altoids tin kits, and you are no exception. I think this is one of the nicer ones I've seen so far. Very well done.
Benadryl, pry bar, clipper and tweezers, excellent. I would also have a mini tube of hydro-cortisone I saw another kit where they wrapped electrical tape around the edge of the tin, doesn't take any extra space. Char cloth is amazing for fire kit as well. Thanks, this was a good kit.
Good job! I would replace the birthday candle with a TRICK Birthday candle because they will stay lite even in wind. also add a couple of mini eye hooks to make your own fishing pool (3 minimum) folded aluminum foil also can use clear straws with tips melted if you don't have shrink wrap or mini perfume type bottles. Thanks for the video!
Very nice kit. Excellent work fitting all those items inside the tin. I'd consider adding a very light poly bag to hold water for those purification tabs to do their job.
+Ray Sills That would be nice, but the tin is in an urban setting. If he ever needs to use the pills, it shouldn't take much searching to find an unopened or completely sealed-empty bottle. Just scavenging the trash you will find lots and I say lots of unopened bottles. I volunteered as cleanup for a little while and people waste so much.
Well done!! I think its packed with extreme versatility and neatly; everything is really useful in more ways than one.....Sean, you should consider selling these on Ebay! Thanks for sharing....
From all of the URBAN kits i have seen this is one of the best and real Urban... lots of other kits socalled URBAN have a lot of space waste with stuff ment for outdoors... great job man...
I added two items to the kit. 2 water purification pills and a P38 military can opener. The pills are tiny and the can opener is really skinny when folded.
I agree with the other comment: It is one of the nicer ones out there. I watch these to see if I can catch an something to improve mine. I have a red tin for Medical related, a green tin for Food related, and a blue for the rest (day to day needs), such as fire & S.O.S. Thank you for your ideas. Peace! Ralph
This is easily the best pocket sized survival kit I've ever seen... It's missing a few things I'd definitely consider "must haves", but the ideas and how compact you got everything is absolutely brilliant. The amount of different solutions to survival problems you fit into one Altoid can is impressive to say the least.
I would find some way to put a thermal survival blanket or maybe even a trash bag in there. Temporary survival shelters can be made from all natural materials, but I've camped in the rain before, and trust me, you want something other than sticks and leaves over your head in that scenario. Maybe cut down a survival blanket half size? or even have the survival blanket held onto the outside of the tin with some ranger bands so it's always right there with it? That would be my biggest suggestion.
+Patrick Bohannon Ofcourse depends of the climate you are in.. But a thermal sheet would be my first choice here in scandinavia. Too bad they take so much space. +Sean Havanas : Amazing kit.
Cpl comments all constructive tho. First. If urban, keep it urban. Fishing kit, snare wire, compass etc are def not needed urban. Save the space and add more useful items for urban edc. More bandaids. An alcohol or antiseptic wipe. Some quarters. Maybe a small packet of sunscreen or afterbite or repellent. Then have a separate kit for day hikes or camping or even in vehicle for more rustic activities which could require an overnight somewhere. My .02 but it’s def a hybrid kit you have there and I guarantee you’ll never use some of those items in urban or suburban carry. Problem is making kits is addicting, but don’t get carried away and in doing so, actually make it less useful. Like those bandaids. They’re on the bottom! Put those on top. When u or someone else is bleeding, especially a kiddo, you want those handy. Trust me I know. Just saying guys, always think practical and functional. Not just make it a cram mission and lose its purpose or make life harder. Great start tho!
I love looking at kits like this to get ideas. I think you have some redundancy with the extra knife, screwdriver, and multi tool. But everyone's needs are different. Thanks for sharing.
Nice kit. I would stick the band-aids as well as a couple of alcohol wipes to the lid instead of on the bottom. You don't want to bleed on everything else while digging out the band-aids. The freznel magnifier actually can wedge them in there fairly well.
You can put the paper and money in one of those plastic wallet sleeves along with a card of important information like phone numbers. The sleeve will keep them from getting worn.
what a great kit! if you remove the bit holder screw driver you could fit in something else (because you already have the leatherman). Perhaps a glue stick? with the lighter you could glue just about anything that might need repair.
I really like the idea of those vials that have the various liquids in them. I believe they are the same ones that are used to cologne / perfume samples so you can probably get them for free a department stores.
Great kit. Loved it. So much stuff crammed in. One suggestion would be to fix the band aids to the inside of the lid. This way you can get to them much quicker rather than having to take everything pit to get to them at tye bottom. Cheers
The Altoids Tin to use is the green trim for TSA, school or VA friendly. Also for a pen use the Fisher Space Pen Refill... Maybe a twenty dollar bill on the bottom of the tin under a Fresnel Len for the Fire Kit or read the info sheet on how to use... Thank you for the video ! tjl
You can save room by using a cut down hack saw blade and then a standard box cutter blade... drill a hole or two and if/ when you need a handle use your Kevlar cord and pry bar (or the zip tie) and then you can add more stuff... the shout I think was/ is over kill.. the Bubble level still has me confused, the wine bottle opener....???... same same (confused).... more safety pins and more paper clips.... extra battery’s for flashlight overall cool kit thanks for sharing
I agree with @Axel Mancini that a mirror would be a good idea. It can be used as signal, even in an urban environment. There are small metal ones available. I live in area where you/group could be isolated from ground rescue in earthquake. Remember, these are not like hurricanes, snowstorms or even tornadoes-there is NO warning. Couple of water purification pills are a good idea, too, as suggested earlier.
Nice but would add a paper dust mask . just never know if smoke starts coming through vents at work or a construction zone some where or earthquake ....
I have a bunch of Spam cans I don't want to throw away thinking they might have a use. I made an Alcohol Stove with one, but sometimes round is better.
I would personally do away with the nail clippers and add some water purification tablets and a whistle. You also do not have a mirror for signalling. This would be easily remedied by gluing one to the lid or even a piece of broken cd. You have room for one so why not? There is no wire or stronger cord. A survival bracelet would take care of the latter. I would also prefer to have a wheel spark thing for fire (sorry I don't know the name) as your lighter isn't going to last long, nor will the matches. Having said this, i do believe it is one of the better kits I have seen especially since its so compact. I realise this is aimed at an urban setting therefore your needs may be slightly different, however, no one can predict the future. Clean water is more important that cutting your nails. Besides you have other tools in the kit that could do this.
+lea perrins - I did add 2 water purification pills and a P38 military can opener. I can shine the bottom of the tin so it becomes a mirror. I also can add a small fero rod to start a fire. There is room.
Sean Havanas Ah well done! You probably have one of the best survival kits shown on youtube then considering the size. I have seen larger and less prepared ones.
I posted this a while ago. 35x8mm or 1.38"x.31" and they are 1/5 Dram or 0.739343 mL. I think they round up to 1 mL. Search eBay for Perfume Sampler Vials 8x35 w/ Caps 1/5 Dram
Absolutely a top notch kit! Do you find that it is a bit heavy with the Leatherman tool in it for pocket carry? I have been experimenting with different contents, especially mini multitools. When I add the multitool it seems just a bit too heavy for front pocket carry. Again great kit, thanks for the great vid!

I love how creative people are getting with these altoids tin kits, and you are no exception. I think this is one of the nicer ones I've seen so far. Very well done.
7 years on…..best I have seen so far and I have nearly exhausted TH-cam

Good job! I would replace the birthday candle with a TRICK Birthday candle because they will stay lite even in wind.
also add a couple of mini eye hooks to make your own fishing pool (3 minimum)
folded aluminum foil
also can use clear straws with tips melted if you don't have shrink wrap or mini perfume type bottles.
Thanks for the video!
becky stein I like the trick candle idea...very nice
Excellent selection of items. You fit a lot of good stuff in there. Thank you!
Very nice kit. Excellent work fitting all those items inside the tin. I'd consider adding a very light poly bag to hold water for those purification tabs to do their job.

Good point: use what you find!
I just use my flask
Well done!!

Thanks for sharing....
From all of the URBAN kits i have seen this is one of the best and real Urban... lots of other kits socalled URBAN have a lot of space waste with stuff ment for outdoors... great job man...
Amazing how much useful stuff you managed to fit in there! Good job!
I added two items to the kit. 2 water purification pills and a P38 military can opener. The pills are tiny and the can opener is really skinny when folded.
one more of those vials filled with lighter fluid could refill that lighter at least twice
Could you put liter fluid in a capsules to help start a fire
Pickle McPickle read the comment just before yours
I was about to say a can opener would be a good idea
Sean Havanas do you have a list to the items in the kit, nice video
Well done - creative with the shrink wrap and really sizing everything down. Impressive amount of stuff in there!
one of the best survival kits I've seen.
Yeah
are you being sarcastic?
A brilliant kit. I especially love the screwdriver and magnifying glass, but it's all so well thought out. Inspirational 👍
I agree with the other comment: It is one of the nicer ones out there. I watch these to see if I can catch an something to improve mine. I have a red tin for Medical related, a green tin for
Food related, and a blue for the rest (day to day needs), such as fire & S.O.S.

Best kid I’ve probably ever seen hands-down

The amount of different solutions to survival problems you fit into one Altoid can is impressive to say the least.
+Patrick Bohannon What would you add. I am always looking for ideas. I watched a lot of video to help me build that one. Thanks for the complement

Impressive. I sm amazed at all the stuff you got in there! Well done.
I really like the mini pry-bar. Save your knives! The vials are awesome as well. Think I would replace the shout with something else though.
Nice tin! I’m building mine now and got some good ideas here...Thanks
Great EDC. Really like the small vials of WD40 and stain remover and the mini lighter.
Love all the miniature gadgets. Great EDC. Cant wait to build my own. Nice work.
Best one I've seen! Been wanting, contemplating putting one together for work (I'm a nurse) great ideas, great job.
What I do is use the ends of regular-sized matches as toothpicks, as long as you have a knife you can point the ends of them & they work great.
Your tin backs a lot of stuff. I am very impress. Thanks for posting your video.
Probably the best kit I’ve seen! Great job buddy
Ridogg81 Thank you!!
well done! our "tins" always evolve. yours definitely gives food for thought

Awesome video, awesome tin. Great work - definitely worth watching!
This is the best altiod kit!!!So many pieces!!!😀🙌🙋
I am amazed of how many items you manage to put in that Altoid box , that was tough .
Very nice kit
That's the best urban kit I've seen
Well hes alive so its a good survival kit
by far the best kits I have seen good job man really impressive Dan in ohio
Sweet little kit you put together.
Yours is the best kit I have seen, given me loads of ideas thanks
I love looking at kits like this to get ideas. I think you have some redundancy with the extra knife, screwdriver, and multi tool. But everyone's needs are different. Thanks for sharing.
One of the best I've seen. Saving this to use as a reference.
Great kit. Looks like you put a lot of thought into it. Thanks for sharing.

what a great kit! if you remove the bit holder screw driver you could fit in something else (because you already have the leatherman). Perhaps a glue stick? with the lighter you could glue just about anything that might need repair.
I was actually pretty impressed by this. I’m going to add some blue Dawn dish soap in a heat sealed straw to my kit.
Very good kit! By the way Bobby pins are for hair. That's a safety pin.
Great idea's for these times in 2022
Is a very realistic kit... i love it, and lovr also that the pieces are all small too... im gonna follow your model...
Nice kit
I really like the idea of those vials that have the various liquids in them. I believe they are the same ones that are used to cologne / perfume samples so you can probably get them for free a department stores.
a very well equipped kit 👍
Great video, wonderful functional kit!
Great kit. Loved it. So much stuff crammed in. One suggestion would be to fix the band aids to the inside of the lid. This way you can get to them much quicker rather than having to take everything pit to get to them at tye bottom. Cheers
A rape whistle, snare wire and WD40. Sounds like a party.
+William This is the best comment I got from the video!!! There is duct tape in there also.
good mini kit. interesting and complete.........nice work good video¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡
Very awesome. I love survival tins.
The Altoids Tin to use is the green trim for TSA, school or VA friendly. Also for a pen use the Fisher Space Pen Refill... Maybe a twenty dollar bill on the bottom of the tin under a Fresnel Len for the Fire Kit or read the info sheet on how to use... Thank you for the video ! tjl

It is an Urban kit. I level stuff a lot and no one ever has a win bottle opener. It is good advice on the saw blade.
I agree with @Axel Mancini that a mirror would be a good idea. It can be used as signal, even in an urban environment. There are small metal ones available. I live in area where you/group could be isolated from ground rescue in earthquake. Remember, these are not like hurricanes, snowstorms or even tornadoes-there is NO warning. Couple of water purification pills are a good idea, too, as suggested earlier.
What is the link for the small vials you have in your kit
great job on the kit, a small thought. expiry date on medication would be a good idea. Again great kit, very well thought out!
I fit everything in mine. I use a shrink gun to shrink all my clothes and tools.
pretty neat just passig theu these are pretry addicting once you try 1 right
Nice kit but, what happens with your hands?
I find it hilarious you'd keep Shout in the same kit as snare wire. You know, for when you're worried about stains when subsisting on rodents.
Nice but would add a paper dust mask . just never know if smoke starts coming through vents at work or a construction zone some where or earthquake ....
i really dig your little vial idea!
I have a bunch of Spam cans I don't want to throw away thinking they might have a use. I made an Alcohol Stove with one, but sometimes round is better.
Great video. A small problem is you didn't centre the camera so a lot of your hand "unfolding" couldn't be seen.
VERY NICE KIT
VERY COOL!!!
Nice kit! Thanks for sharing.
Very nice. Better than the Urban Prepper’s
Nice video. Great tips
Great videos keep up the good work
I would expect the lighter fluid to evaporate in storage like a Zippo. You're probably better off with a mini Bic in that kit.
Very cool. Drop the duplicate screwdrivers and add a ziplock bag.
Very nice!
I would personally do away with the nail clippers and add some water purification tablets and a whistle. You also do not have a mirror for signalling. This would be easily remedied by gluing one to the lid or even a piece of broken cd. You have room for one so why not?

Sean Havanas
Ah well done! You probably have one of the best survival kits shown on youtube then considering the size. I have seen larger and less prepared ones.
nice kit! that lighter
I like how he said most items are about 5 bucks each. I feel like a lot of people wanna cram as much brand name items as possible in a tin.
I do not care about brand names. My goal was to put the most useful items I can find in the kit.
amazing video! you're one cool and resourceful dude! were the vials originally for cologne samples? thats the only vial ive seen of that size
I posted this a while ago. 35x8mm or 1.38"x.31" and they are 1/5 Dram or 0.739343 mL. I think they round up to 1 mL. Search eBay for Perfume Sampler Vials 8x35 w/ Caps 1/5 Dram
Sean Havanas thanks man!
AMAZING
That's amazing Bro 👏
Where did you buy the small mini tubes of wd40 and goo gone? Good kit!
thats brilliant
Great kit
Absolutely a top notch kit! Do you find that it is a bit heavy with the Leatherman tool in it for pocket carry?
I have been experimenting with different contents, especially mini multitools. When I add the multitool it seems just a bit too heavy for front pocket carry. Again great kit, thanks for the great vid!
Packed that thing full!
Great kit and review!
Great video!!!
Where get those tubes I cant find them anywhere man!.
If this is an urban survival kit, is the snare wire for catching rats?
Your crow bar is cute..but can't see a tiny thing being much use except to pry your lunch box open...show us some uses
you got so much stuff in there I thought you were going to pull a Blue Whale out of it.
great kit! where did you get those little vials with the WD-40, Neosporin, Shout etc.?
Instead of a whistle put in some cap gun caps works as a signal
I would replace the $20 with 3 or 4 $5. and some $1.
That is a good is a good idea
Great edc kit just the one for me thanks
Why do you need a fishing kit and some snare wire in an urban kit?
Great video and tin! Well done :)
Great job! Congrats! Just a minor question: Which is the capacity and dimensions of the virals? Thanks!
