A buddy of mine gave me this a few years ago. I kept it in my Jeep for that just in case moment.

The kit includes:

• Compass
• Fire Starter
• 9.8’ Multi-Use Cord
• 3’ Wire
• 4-Waterproof Matches
• 101’ Fish Line
• Soup Packet
• Tea Bag
• Sugar Packet
• Match Book
• 2 Antiseptic Swabs
• Razor Blade
• 3 Twist Ties
• 12” Duct Tape
• Signal Mirror
• Zip-Lock Bag
• 2 Bandages
• 2 Nails
• 2 Safety Pins
• 2 Fish Hooks
• Signal Whistle
• Chewing Gum
• Sewing Needle
• Energy Candy
• Note Paper
• Pencil
• Survival/First Aid Pamphlet

So finally curiosity got the best of me and I just had to open it. I had to know how they fit all that stuff into 1"x4"x3" container. To my surprise, IT WAS ALL THERE!!! Holy Shit they actually fit it all in there!!! Exactly how, I dont quite know, because it all dont fit when I packed it back up again.

The kit itself retails for as little as 11.39 on Amazon, or through any store that carries camping supplies and has this product.

Here are some pics of it.

The contents of the container



I have not had to use it, but as stated did open it out of curiosity. This would be good to keep in your vehicle. it is small and lite weight. Toss it in your glove box, under the seat, or even in your pocket.

Give the whistle to the kids. Put the band-aids over your ears. Make a cup of soup with the bullion. Chew the bubble gum. Then the rest of it might fit back in that sardine can. haha

hahaha, yea, that might work, but I think I will just take the fishing hooks, put them in the tackle box along with the razor blade and anything else like the matches and give the rest to the kids to play with.
