Survival in-a-can

[theksmith 5,778]

nothing will beat a well thought out, personalized bug-out bag...

 

but many times we fail to take the time necessary to prepare a good survival system. or perhaps you just forgot to put your emergency kit in your "other car" one time when you need it...

 

i find it great to throw a Survival Kit In A Can in every vehicle and in your day hiking pack... they aren't perfect, but they are cheap and easy so at least you don't get caught in a bad situation completely unprepared.

one alternative to consider is the Adventure Medical S.O.L. (survive outdoors longer) kit. Adventure Medical makes all top-notch stuff, and it features a re-sealable container so you can re-stock it. the only downside is it's a little bit more expensive and therefore you might not be as likely to throw one in every vehicle and pack.

I would suggest this one over the Survival in a can. We threw one of these in our go bag and have larger first aid and survival kits in the XJ. I think both Sportsman's Warehouse and WalMart have them for under $20. #9480 - Survival Kit http://www.coghlans.com/catalogue/productList.php?catID=5

For a tiny little can, they do pack the stuff in there!

I have both the survival kit and the survival in a can. They are in the jeep along with a long sleeve t-shirt. Dont leave the candles in the kits, they melt. George:cool:

I have a kit down in Southern MO that has candles down there and I used Cigar tubes, the hard ones and made sure to keep them with the wick up and they melted a little but they didnt get all deformed and such... just a thought.
