Survival Party Store’s Altoid’s Tin EDC Survival Kit Type 1

EDC stands for “Every Day Carry” so it’s with you on your person wherever you go. In addition to being able to fit in a pocket it will also fit in any camera pouch (even ones for small digital cameras), most if not all cell phone pouches, and all USGI pouches (except pistol magazine pouches), even the really small USGI pouches for grenades and the USGI first aid/compass pouches. If you don’t want to carry it with you every day on your person you could always have it in a bug out bag or a glove box or take it just while camping or hiking or even put it in a jam jar and bury it.
The nail clippers and P-38 could cut you or tear clothing if in your pocket on a keychain so I advise leaving them in the tin. The keychain flashlight won’t fit in the tin if everything else is in there because the idea is that you would want it on your keychain. The whistle you could put on your keychain too but while I use my flashlight sometimes (finding the right key in the dark, etc) I would only use the whistle for signaling in an emergency so I leave mine in the tin. The tissues keep everything from rattling and scraping together and can be used to blow your nose or as tinder.
The whistle is pea less so there's no annoying rattle in your pocket (for my glove box survival kit a whistle with a pea is used because in a glove box you won’t notice the rattle as much as on your person) it is multi frequency. The universal signal for needing help with a whistle is 3 bursts and a pause. The inside of the lid of the tin and the bottom of the tin are reflective enough to be used as a signal mirror and you also could cook a small amount of food or liquids in them. I considered adding a rubber band or ranger band to keep the tin closed but it’s already closed so well that even holding it upside down when full of this kit’s contents it won’t open so I decided not to.
The tin has been thoroughly washed out and dried. I used items made in the USA whenever possible because they're higher quality and it helps American jobs.

This kit includes these 8 parts:

1. Mini Hand Crank Dynamo 2 White LED Keychain Flashlight (Let me know if you want 1 in clear blue (like in the picture), or 1 in solid white, solid black, solid silver, or solid blue, or I will have to pick.)
2. Map Compass with Lanyard
3. Multi Frequency Green Flat Whistle with Keychain Attachment
4. Kroger Brand Nail Clippers with Keychain Attachment
5. P-38 Can Opener from Shelby co. Made in USA
6. Mini Bic Lighter Made in USA (Color may vary but if you request a color I will try to get you one in that color, sorry no refund if we can't get that color.)
7. 2 Kleenex Brand Tissues
And
8. Altoid’s Tin Made in USA (altoid’s mints not included) (Let me know if you want 1 in green, blue, or red or I will have to pick.)

Stuff I recommend you EDC in addition to this kit:

Keys, a piece of paper folded 3 times, pen, wallet (with some cash, a debit card with some money on it, and an ID), cell phone (with your in case of emergency contact titled “ICE” (unless there is a section in “Contacts” titled “In case of emergency” then have at least one in case of emergency contact number there and also have in contacts the police and fire non-emergency number for the county you live in), and a casio digital watch. Your keys and cell phone should be in separate pockets so the cell phone doesn’t get scratched up.

This kit differs from Survival Party Store’s Altoid’s Tin EDC Survival Kit Type 2 in that it has a mini bic lighter instead of a full size bic lighter and a map compass with lanyard instead of a 20mm button compass. So it has a lighter with less lights than the other kit but is lighter and a compass that is better quality but is heavier.
I personally carry the Survival Party Store’s Altoid’s Tin EDC Survival Kit Type 1 that I modified by taking out the keychain attachments for the whistle and nail clippers since I figured I don’t need those and taking them out allowed me to add a 3rd tissue and there was still a little room left over so I also added a 9.6mm black button compass type 2 for use as a backup compass. I live in a big city so I figure I need the ability to start fires less and need a map compass more and I like that since the map compass comes with a lanyard I can use the nail clippers to cut it and then use it as cordage or a tourniquet.
How I EDC is in my front left pocket is the survival kit, keys with hand crank flashlight on the keychain, and pen and paper and then in my front right pocket my cell phone (with it upside down so when I put it to the side of my head it’s right side up) my wallet in front of my cell phone (it acts as a cushion for my cell phone if I bump up against something hard like the edge of a table and also makes it faster to get my cell phone out) and then my casio digital watch is on my left wrist.
Because this kit does contain a lighter you must be 18 years of age or older to purchase it.
