BASIC POCKET SCOUT SURVIVAL KIT

Small but basic survival kit, great item for any boy or girl scout. Comes with some very useful items. Fishing kits, nav, cutting and items to start fires. This is also a great item to add to any existing kit you may have already. I usually like to carry kits like this with me on day hikes just because its so easy to carry. All items are designed and put together in the the USA. Made by former military members. We use to offer this kit before, but I actually had a hard time trying to find the right tube that can carry these contents.

THE MINI TIN SURVIVAL KIT


The Mini Tin Survival Kit is a great little Tin Kit. Its very small and compact, only measures 2.5" x 2". It comes with 20 Survival Items. This is one of the first survival kits I came out with. I have made several modifications to make this kit bigger and more efficent. One of the first things I did was replace the Matches with a Mini Fire Starter Rod. Its only about 2" wide, but can handle 1000's of strikes. I also made a upgrade to the mini button compass. I started buying better compass through Sun Company. Their button compasses are the best out there. This is the smallest they have (14mm) Its a dry compass. Another item I replaced was teh cotton ball with a Quick Fire Tinder Tab. This tab burns even when wet. Works great with a spark from Fire Starter rod. You just need to pull the tinder tab apart into a little patch. Then start sparking away. You can use the P-38 Can Opener provided in this kit. Just just a a 45 degree angle. I knew I needed to add some type of signal device. So I added a mini mirror, the same type that is used in the 5-in-1 Survival Whistle. Its not a Rated Signal Mirror, but any reflective surface can help you in a survival situation. Especially when you are in the middle of nowhere.
