Sardines not included

This is pretty cool: (excerpt)

"Here's a compact survival kit that actually survives being carried along. It's watertight and it floats so in the event that you actually need it, everything inside is in perfect condition. It includes an amazing array of supplies for all outdoors enthusiasts including:

Acetaminophen, adhesive bandage, alcohol prep, antibiotic ointment, book of matches, tea bag, chewing gum, sugar, salt packet, energy nugget, duct tape, fire starter cube, wire clip, first aid instructions, fish hook and line, note paper, pencil, razor blade, safety pin, whistle, compass, reflective signal surface and waterproof bag."

But no freakin' sardines!

I carry my self-assembled survival kit with me, and rarely leave it behind when in the outdoors. It's in an old half-litre Nalgene bottle (water-tight!) and contains many of the same things, just in a usable size.

For example instead of a pack of paper matches, a real lighter. The duct tape is wrapped around the outside. The compass is a "real" Silva compass. It also includes a couple of extras like a roll of trip wire (building shelters, snares), a big, orange plastic garbage bag (signal, rain poncho), and a pair of gloves (I hate it when my hands are cold).
