Best way to use one of those to boil water might be to half fill it, then carefully place fire rocks inside, putting the heat where the water is will make it easier to prevent the bag from coming into contact with something above its melting point, you want to make sure you don't drop the rock right inside though. Alternatively, take everything out of the tin and heat the water inside the tin, dumping it into a bag as it boils.

My pocket kit is a redundancy I carry on my canteen pouch. While, yes, it contains a useful minimum of everything I'd need if things go south, it's hardly a long-term solution. The practical application for these kits is simply as a redundancy. You can survive on them, but it's going to be strictly uncomfortable and difficult. Carry them, build them so that you can effectively rely on them, but don't use them as the main component of your survival kit. Their practical purpose is to supplement your main kit, not to replace it.

I dont make them as "survival kits" but as situational kits. They make great protective and easily identifiable storage containers. When Im camping or hunting - I have separate kits for fire, spices for cooking , blister kit, cleaning kits etc. They also make for great repair kits for bows and firearms, when you are out in the field and instead of buying little nylon zip bags you just get these guys wrap them in duct tape to reduce the noise and you can write on them what they are. My bow kit - has an extra string, bowstring wax, wrench, silencers, 2 replacement knocks and a set of replacement vanes. My gun kit has cleaning patches, oil and a brush for each caliber that I own along with some epoxy, and mini punch tips for field repair. Ive used all of these kits pretty consistently when I am out. I wrap the tin with duct tape then I cut around the opening and the hinge so that they are quiet against other gear because there is nothing worse than the sound of the tin slapping other things in your bag.

Here's my take on priorities for a pocket survival tin ..first off I use a "Sucrets Complete" tin , it's deeper but not as long as an Altoid tin , it's much better 1) I think you need a good cutting tool even if its a big utility razor blade . 2) A flashlight, you want LED it's brighter 3) Either just a ferro rod or have 2 other ways to start a fire like matches and a Bic 4) A way to hold water like a freezer bag ,along with water purification tabs or you can boil water in tin foil. 5) Tinder like alcohol pads, tinder tabs, duct tape. 6) Stuff like Super glue, Butterfly bandages, duct tape for deep wounds. 7) Aspirin, something for fever. Diarrhea pills, heartburn medicine. Put them in a piece of a straw with the ends melted or just wrap them in tin foil

I have made several 'Altoid tin' kits over the past few years. My view is that, in addition to certain specific "one-off" items, other contents serve to satisfy the "two is one, one is none" survival axiom. such a kit provides minimal resources to help the lost get through 2 or 3 days, while awaiting or moving toward rescue. In addition to a small folding knife (so it can be safely carried in a pocket for immediate use), I use straws extensively as mini-containers, including a minimal fishing kit (15' mono line, 2 small hooks, 2 split-shot), honey (as a small energy boost and minor wound dressing and antiseptic), vaseline-impregnated cotton balls (tinder), waterproof matches, 2 fish lure type)mini-chemlights, 4 pain-relief caplets, and more. I also include a rolled-up supermarket produce bag to use as a water container. After adding those and other items I seal the tin with electrical tape and wrap it with 10' of paracord. I normally carry it on my belt in a small, cheap camera case, which also has room for a pocket survival blanket, which helps with basic shelter.

Plus the slightly larger tin can be used to boil 60 ml of water. The only time I would carry a Altoids tin if I made a Fire starting pack to compliment a tobacco tin survival kit.

An Altoids tin simply will not hold what would be needed for survival and are simply too small to be used as a stand-alone kit. As a comparison, a 1 x 3 x 4 tin will hold: a Jet Scream whistle; 3" x 1/4" diameter tube of potassium permanganate; 25 yd disposable bobbin of T9 sewing thread; 4" x 3/8" ferro rod; Photon Microlite and diffuser bulb; two wire saws; a pair of D8 finish nails as pins for a bow saw; 50' of #10 fishing line; five #4, #6, and #8 bait hooks; #13 sail needle and #18 sharp darning needle; Sun mini orientating compass; 10 #1 and #2 safety pins; SOL Rescue Flash heliograph; 4" x 1/4" diameter wax soaked jute rope; 8 lifeboat matches; cotton wool for packing and alternate source of tinder, and a credit card Fresnel lens. The lid is sealed with vinyl tape to make it dunk proof. No, there's no knife since you'd be able to pack nothing more than a steel sliver in an Altoids tin, surely nothing useful for shelter craft. For a knife I carry a 4 inch folder that gets slipped in the same pocket as the tin. When you can fit that into an Altoids tin, without deforming it or needing any external fixtures to keep it shut, let me know.

All of these kits in a tin are a knock-off of the original one designed by John "Lofty" Wiseman, author of The SAS Survival Handbook. He invented the kit for hikers and campers to carry in a pocket, at all times. Half the stuff in the kit, shown in this video, is not needed. You'll never need a multi-tool. What do they expect people to use it for? Screws don't exist in nature! The pen is a waste of space too. A torch can be handy, but it's not a survival item, so that should be left out of a survival tin. A few other items could be better utilised, too. It's a survival tin. It's for surviving a day or two until help arrives.

Gotta disagree on some points here. A minimized multi-tool is crucial. Sure, get rid of the screwdrivers. But carrying a small blade plus a robust can opener, awl and tweezers on the same too is just practical. I can't see the point of carrying pliers, a toothpick or a pair of scissors though. A needle makes a fine toothpick, and you're already carrying that in your fishing/repair kit anyway. Just superheat it to sterilize it. There's a very useful torch you can carry. You know those flattened keychain torches with the single LED? Those things are incredibly powerful for their size, and you can replace the battery with a lithium ion battery for longer life at your discretion. They take up practically no space in a flat-pack kit, so why omit one? They're also great for signalling. What bugs me the most about commercial survival kits is that they dedicate so much useful space to paper and pencil. An argument can be made for their application as tinder, but that's about it. If you need to take note, scratch them onto a relatively flat rock. If you need a map, you can just build a mud map and go from there.

HINT : at your super market in the vegetable aisle they have these bags to put the vegetables in.. I have tested them and they are extremely strong for carrying water but extremely lightweight and thin to fold into your kit.. take the large vegetable bag.. and cut about a quarter off the top and you can fold it up really flat and it takes up very little room inside the Altoids tin

I mean, if you lost your bag and everything then an Altoids kit would help. But I think Altoids kit should only be used as a substitution

most of the time people already know what is in their kits or with a store bought kit there is an inventory list (witch everyone should have in their own kits anyway and can be used as extra tinder) the kit was good and I have zero doubts that a home made altoids tin kit made by an experienced person will have the necessary gear to get you through 12 if not 24 hours in fair weather conditions. The controversy I think comes with the "Urban survival" altoid tins because its harder to define Urban survival and the conditions associated with it. is it surviving the rat race of daily life? is it surviving homeless out of a single altoids tin? or is it a tin of gear you EDC carry for when SHTF or a natural disaster happens and it needs to get you from where you are either running errands, in town, at work or at school to your next closest cash of gear? now that is a video I would like to see. here is the challenge: put together an altoids tin someone would EDC to get them from work to home in the event of a tornado or earthquake then give it to someone, drop them in a recently devastated area, and have them make at least a 10 mile trek across downtown to suburbia

I like this last idea! In this respect, women have a huge advantage! They have HANDBAGS! (Purses?) Men have to be more inventive in how and where they carry any survival kit, especially in an urban setting. If a man is fortunate enough to use a vehicle for daily work, it's just a big handbag, right? So, problem solved. Some men carry attache (brief) cases to work (mine was a veritable treasure trove!). Other men these days tend to carry "male accessory bags", which can be very practical. The guy who just wears a stylish suit to work has the biggest problem.

I know I am late to this, but a lot of the comments amaze me. "Altoids tins don't hold enough for survival". Incorrect. They hold enough for bare minimum survival. Question is do we know enough to use it appropriately? I've seen a guy survive quite well for a week with just a knife. If he had an Altoids tin with hooks and line, he wouldn't have had to make cordage from plants, hooks from bones and could have jumped to fishing with no problem. Also, Altoids tins are not meant to replace gear. They are a pocket carry for in case you get separated from your gear. There are cases of someone wandering away from camp to relieve themselves or gather fuel or something and they can't find their way back. Instead of having nothing since their pack is at camp, they still have a mini kit.

Put some extra lengths of duct tape on both the bottom and top of the kit. You can also place another bit on the inside bottom and lid of the kit. I use a couple of the extra inside strips to hold down a couple of spare fishhooks and needles. You can also use Camel Snus tins, or Skoal cans if you have them laying around as specialty kits, one designated for fishing, one for sewing, one for fire and extra tinder, one for medicine and first aid, one for small tools you need and do not want to lose, and one for extra paracord and fishing line. If you have a space blanket, you can use bands to hold it to one of the kits. You can even keep an extra light in one with a couple of spare batteries. I like these kits because they are versatile, and easy to transport, even if you have a few of them. It would be no trouble to make a bundle of these kits, and place them in the trunk of your car for emergencies.
One may also cut bands from a discarded bicycle tube ✌

No lubricant condom is perfect for water they are strong and reusable if you get the right kind. You can make a container if you split a branch in two hollow it out and line then use the condom to hold it together at the same time but getting the right condom is needed. Maybe a better knife to a small fixed blade would be more useful then a multi tool in a survival situation because you can attach it to a stick for a spear and you can also split wood cut wood. Really there are not many uses for the tools in a survival situation that a fixed blade would not be more useful.
