Survival Kit In A Can

This looks like it could easily be a great item for any outdoor trip with minor improvements, the one thing that caught my eye is that it appears to be a one-time use item.

Yes, it is designed to be opened and used. Far better would be a water-tight, resealable container. I’ve used film canisters for basic pocket survival kits, but have come to like the plastic case that came with a deck of plastic playing cards. A small candy or mint tin, with items that need to stay dry stored in mini zip-seal parts bags, can work well, too.

I typically keep a firesteel and a small knife on my person at all times when in backcountry areas. I keep many more items in a small fanny pack. I love cargo pants and shirts that let me tuck little items in multiple places.

One quick tip is to replace your hiking boot laces with paracord. That way, you’ll always have some line with you. It may not be an impressive length, but the interior cords can be tied together.

No surprise there… did you really expect a serious piece of gear with the name ‘Coghlan’s’ on it?!? That name is synonymous with cheap China-made junk destined for field failure.

If you want to get serious about wilderness survival kits, review one of the ‘M40’ kits.

I like the idea of carrying something for survival on your wrist. It’s nice to unravel your bracelet and have a bit of cordage but that’s all you get with the survival straps one. This one you have a functional fishing kit, flint and striker, water purification capabilities, small little knife, wire for a snare, needle for repairs.

I totally want to unravel it to see how all this cool stuff is packed into it but I will wait till I really need it!
