When i go hiking i typically carry everything i need in my Condor 4x10 water holder, and edc. But i did decide to try my hand at making a psk.
there just isn't really a good way to cram everything into a altoids tin, so i made a altoid tin + a pouch that would carry the primary shelter and cutting tool.

 |
| Maxpedition RAT Wallet (back) Cold Steel Pocket Bushman Folding Knife |
 |
| The duct tape fits in a hidden pocket on the back of the RAT wallet |
 |
| The main pocket holds a Emergency Blanket, Emergency Poncho from bepreparedtosurvive.com and a Large Hand Warmer (Heat Factory). The outer pouch holds the survival altoid tin. |
 |
| another shot with everything out. |
 |
| The tin holds 30 feet of bank line and 3 ranger bands |

 |
| Everything laid out! |
The tin holds:
- various lengths of electrical tape
- small pea lighter from county comm
- 2 fishing hooks with weights already attached
- 1 band-aid
- 1 whistle (i think this is an old fashion train whistle, got it from ebay)
- SOL (survive outdoors longer) mini rescue mirror
- 4 micropur water purification tablets
- 1 liter bag from bepreparedtosurvive.com
- 3 tinder quik
- 1 nano streamlight
- 1 fresnel lens from bepreparedtosurvive.com (hard to see, it's on the cloth, next to the gum).
- 1 piece of gum (wrigley's 5 spearmint)
- 1 trick birthday candle (doesn't blow out easily)
- 1 Spyderco grasshopper
- 1 pin
- 1 pair of tweezers from a swiss army knife classic
- button compass
- small firesteel
- 2 strike anywhere matches
- about 3 feet of snare wire
- 1 needle
- A small patch of cotton bandana that i cut. This is for making charcloth, or a makeshift band-aid. It also helps protect the fresnel lens from being scratched
**UPDATE**

| Was able to fit a UST Pocket Chain Saw to the front under the altoids tin |

I was also able to fit in some ibuprofen, benedril and a wet wipe.
