Altoids tins & Pocket kits

You can't pack a BOB around all the time and most people are frequently away from their vehicles so a GHB may not be able to help you either.
Lets see/hear about the Altoids tins, pocket kits, and EDC items we keep to get us back home!

I carry this Altoids tin when I'm hunting & beating around in the woods. Its the bare minimum but its also very capiable for its size.

I carry a little mint tin kit ( like the size of a silver dollar and about half a inch deep ) and that is my basic survival kit, any time that im out int the woods ill bring that with me. and I have a bigger altoids tin kit that I will keep in my backpack if im going somewhere. I carry the altoids kit in addition to the smaller mint tin, it has things that the smaller one doesnt have.

Altoids tins have also been used for QRP (low power)HAM radio's (CW-Morse Code) believe it or not! This is an image of a fully functional CW (Morse Code) transceiver!

This is a flat out awesome idea for a thread.

I hope that many people share their Altoids tin kits with us. If we can get enough I'll sticky it at the top of the page as a resource.

Great job Rem
