How to Build an Urban Survival Tin for Disruption, Disaster & Attack

- Urban Knife Guy shares how to build an urban survival tin for Disruption, Disaster or attack.
Watch the video on the updated tin here: • Updated Urban Survival...
This Urban Survival Tin is designed to increase chances of survival and rescue or escape specifically in an urban environment should things go bad. It is designed for both domestic and travel use, although you cannot hand carry this tin on a plane.
To help you build this urban survival tin and to keep this video from going too long, I have put together a written guide with details, photos and product links for the different items inside the tin.
You can download it for free at urbanknifeguy.com
So be sure to check the guide for all the small details and step-by-step instructions.
What makes this tin different is that it focuses on urban survival. This is not an outdoor or wilderness survival kit. The urban environment is quite different with different opportunities and different challenges.
Most survival tins shared were designed for the outdoors and urban tins were designed more as convenience kits for EDC or everyday carry.
This tin specifically was designed for three main urban scenarios:
Disruption
Disaster
Attack
Now, this is not an exhaustive survival kit that will guarantee your survival in any situation but it may increase your chances substantially, which makes it worthwhile.
This is meant to be an EDC (that is everyday carry) so it was designed to be small, compact and as lightweight as possible.

Basically starts at 8:10. Thank me with 👍
👏👏👏
Thank you OMG exactly why I gave it a thumbs down
@@bleezy5203 counts as a .5 thumbs up in the algo. thanks for your double contribution.🤣
👍👍👍👍
I have never understood why the wallet tools all seem to have bottle openers, but I have never seen one with an opening for a gas shutoff wrench. That is a must-have and easily implemented in a card tool with interior space.
That is a great feature! Thanks for sharing!
95% of all "survival tools" have a bottle opener 😂
@@alimfuzzy"Gotta stay hydrated with beer, it's no fun to be in the wilderness while sober." -whoever made those survival cards
@@alimfuzzyYes. But Why?😊😊
The stupid designers think it's 1945, where all bottles have caps on them. 🙄 I know, it's silly, but sadly that's just how it goes. I think they mainly got it from thinking about Victorinox Swiss army knives that almost always had bottle openers on them. Such a waste of tool slot, since bottles can be opened other ways. And many smaller multitools designed in the US are probably made by hipsters drinking local IPA beers with caps on them, so they just assume everyone else does the same, when most of us are not stupid hipsters. 🤣
Love the fact that you have included a Leatherman PS4. Very useful little tool. Such a pity that Leatherman have discontinued it.
Thank you! Yes, it is a pity and a surprise. I need to buy a spare!
I am glad you included a lockpick. That's a must for an EDC. I never knew about the one you showed in the video. Nice to know. I would remove one of those Band Aids and replace it with butterfly or zipper stitches. Stiches without anesthetic, most people will not be able to do it. I would replace the lighter with a small Bic wrapped in wick, but that's more of a personal preference. The fluid would last much longer in a small Bic. The Olight is an excellent choice. The pain killers is also smart, as well as the whistle. I never thought about adding a whistle before. Something extra I would consider is a couple of quarters and monetary bill and/or a spare ATM card or credit card. I would view that as being more important than the utility card, due to you having the Leatherman. You may find yourself in a simple situation where you lost your wallet and need cash or food/drink from a vending machine. I always carry a couple rolls of quarters in my glove compartment. It has come in handy on a few occasions. So I think having something like that in an EDC couldn't hurt. I like your approach btw. You're keeping it more realistic than others. Really nice EDC kit.
Thanks for the sound suggestions and kind thoughts. Glad you liked the kit!
I have a similar sized peanut lighter that I've been experimenting with since I filled it in January 2017. It just passed its 5.5 YEARS light test in November 2022. Next check is scheduled for May 2023. I would never have believed it would last that long when I started. All that to say, yours has a LONG way to go before it needs a refill. Nice kit and thanks.
Thanks for that insight. I just did a 6-month check and all is good. It is great to know there is a long way to go. Thanks!
Thank you for the free downloads!!!
You're welcome!
One of THE best urban tins I’ve seen. Sharing on twitter 👍🏼
You are very kind. Thank you!
Jump to 8:20 when he starts talking about what is inside the tin.
Thanks!! 🎉
Id say my favorite item and the most interesting inclusion for the tin was the flexpass because i have not seen this form of a lockpicking tool being included in any other survival tin.
Excellent choice! Thanks!
the leatherman squirt is my favourite item from the kit as i always need a pair of pliers for my bike and ect and the knife, scissors, screwdriver are big bonuses
Thanks for sharing!
The sparrows door tool is a great addition. Didn't think to add one of those. Thanks for the GAW
Great choice and thank you very much!
Excuse me but what does GAW mean?
Congrats on reaching 500 subs !!! My favorite item of the tin is the small glow sticks, I didn't know they made small ones like that !
Thanks so much! Glad you discovered the small glow sticks now!
4.25k now
Those can be found in the fishing section of some department stores.
This is the first time I get to know the survival kit for the urban setting. Usually most survival kits I saw are to be used in the wilderness or in the forest. I get to learn something new here, which I can apply in an urban area also :D
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Amazing! As always, very well explained. Very interesting. 👍 It’s very nice to hear you again. I’m glad that you’re fine. Keep up the good work 👍 All the best!
Thank you! It has been a while 🤣 nice to hear from you!
Great content. Would love to see more survival kits as well other than urban
Thanks! I will be sharing more in time including my bushcraft/ hiking kit.
Love your work sir! Bear in mind, a modern antiseptic cream is typically very weak in its antiseptic properties. A couple of aspirin as well as some other pain relief (ibuprofen or paracetamol) can be a life saver for a stressed person with chest pain. Get them to chew up & swallow the aspirin: its blood thinning properties may buy them some time if it’s a cardiac event. A fine sliver off the side of a “ranger band” can be used as a fire starter ( it stinks BAD but if you really need to start one, it gives you options.
Kind regards from Oz
Thanks for your suggestions! Thanks for watching!
Very nice and complete EDC tin.
I bet you can still fit a plastic lenticular lense. It's very useful to start a fire or in the right conditions you can even melt some metals (some locks and chains, etc...)
Thanks for the video J C !!
Thanks Al! Nice to see you here. I always wondered if you were an outdoor or bushcraft person due to your hat!
A lenticular lens is my least favourite way of starting a fire to be honest. It is not even in my bushcraft fire kit. 🤣 but yes, it takes up next to nothing in terms of space. Thanks for stopping by!
@@urbanknifeguy Yeah, everytime I get the chance I go hiking and camp out fot the weekend. I find perfect the combination of Lego indoors and nature outdoors...
Very well thought out kit. Great job!
@Greg-mw5kh Thanks for watching! Glad you liked it.
Thank you, for building an ACTUAL urban SURVIVAL tin, and NOT an inconvenience kit! You have no idea, how many of those things I have run into, under such a misleading title -_- .
You are most welcome! Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks!
The item that i like in this kit is the lighter with the hemp wick, and I'd love to have a lighter like that. Unfortunately it's very rare in our region to get that.
It is not easy to find here too! And I can't find another one easily. Thanks!
Good stuff and the urban scenarios make sense. I tend to EDC a very similar kit...but instead of being in a tin, it's distributed between my pockets, and zipped inside a money belt, which I've made into my own version of the expensive ''Wazoo cache belt''. So storm matches, plasters, alcohol wipes and other bits like safety pins, duct tape etc. are in the belt. 5th pocket on jeans contains LM Squirt, torch (flashlight) and small lighter. I supplement that with a SAK and peanut petrol lighter on an sbiner with my keys, hanging off a beltloop. This way the items that I use on a regular basis are readily available without having to take out and open a tin, and it doesn't take up space or cause bulges in clothing.
Thanks for commenting and sharing. It makes perfect sense but must take a minute to get ready in the morning 😅 Do you carry an EDC folder?
@@urbanknifeguy It doesn't really take more than a couple of seconds, the belt is on the jeans I'm going to wear. The other gear for my rotation is in a drawer in my nightstand but usually next day's carry is on top of it. Sometimes I carry a folder instead of an SAK (as the multitool - LM Squirt or better Nextool Mini) has the other tools I may need, but being in the UK it can't be locking. Today it's the Manly Wasp in S90V, a great knife for the price (just over 60 dollars when I bought it) albeit a tad rough around the edges but it has very strong backsprings and is a workhorse. Also steel liners inside the G10 scales for so it's robust as hell. Other days I might carry a Bokerplus Atlas instead. But at least half the time it's an SAK. Carrying a folder plus SAK plus multitool is a bit over the top as I live in London, most people think any kind of knife is illegal to carry. Can't scare the sheeple and I don't know how a policeman might react to me carrying so many blades even though they're all legal carry.
@@urbanknifeguy Actually I've been looking at getting another folder for my rotation, like a Spyderco/Byrd, or the French made TB outdoors Unboxer but none of them have liners inside the handles and I'm a bit wary, probably no need to but that's just me.
@@simonh6371 yes you guys have it tought with both the sub-3" blades and non-locking. I'm sure you are familiar with all the slip-joints available to you guys. Benchmade is releasing a new slip-joint later this year which might fit your rotation too. I know what you mean about scales with no liners. I think it depends on who is making them and the thickness of the scales.
@@simonh6371 I am not familiar with the French blade. Is it a traditional or modern folder?
Sir, a very good little survival kit.
@johnjones3208 Thanks for watching!
my fav item would be the nail or mini knife 💪🏻
Thanks!
Very impressive. I will be adding the flex pass to my kits from now on. What a great addition.
Thanks and thanks for watching!
This is a great EDC. *It's the most sensible urban EDC I've ever seen.* I also have my Bug in the tin. I wrap a wide ranger band around the circumference to aid in closure/waterproofing (if that happens to be the siltation I'm in). I also crimp the closing part very slightly for a better closure. I've had my Leatherman Squirt PS4 for 13 years and its's still going strong. You can use a small piece of sugar-free gum to fill a cavity if a filling pops out.
Thanks and great suggestion on the gun... except gum is banned in Singapore. 🤣
@@urbanknifeguy Perhaps a piece of wax for cavity.
Its great to hear this voice again!
Haha thanks! Well and alive!
Don't take the negative comments too seriously. I do recommend the polite advice (CJ Johnson down there for example, his comment which you both discussed in a friendly manner) though, that you take the time to condense a bit more. Your production value, mic and camera, is great, you've got a good channel going here. But the average folk's time is finite, and you're here selling a concept to them so unfortunately some videos are harder to "sell" when they're longer. *shakes her head*
Frankly I think you're trying to teach people as well as market yourself and your channel, that's why you're so thorough. The description text up there is detailed, I've yet to go to your channel and look at your guide (again, time lol) but it sounds like you're trying to help folk be BETTER prepared. To me, this kit's contents would be hard to ... define to others, who didn't already know and grasp what you were going for here. Everything in there is helpful, but it's (to me, I'm not an authority) a bit more like a "civilization" tin than an "urban" tin, but it would be a great thing to have in any environment as a supplementary "get home" tin. Heck it's got a lot of great stuff for wilderness preparedness in it already. But to me this would make a perfect pocket helper if I were say coming home from my many doctors appointments and couldn't reach my vehicle or someone else needed some tiny little bit of help. Modern folk seem oblivious to the need for string, cutting devices, and torch/flashlights.
As a personal suggestion (just my own taste), you could get away without needing the matches in place of some higher grade kevlar cordage, I understand the eyedrops but I'd replace that with superglue (and forget I'd done that and glue my face shut)...
And that flashlight, I don't hate it but be extremely careful with these miniflashlights. They're not all made equal, some have a great little LED wafer and brightness but are so poorly made that they will fail to work easily (always right when you need them). I've got a couple of really good mentions if I can dig them up later for you should you want, I'll look up your page and see your document. Didn't recognize that little one. Anyway here I was talking about time and wrote a book, my apologies and thanks if you spent some reading me. I watched your entire video and subscribed :D
Like you said in your description, this is a supplementary kit to COMPLIMENT your heavier EDC Urban kit that would be very good to have in a nasty surprise situation. Even to have extra little gear to help someone else out with a bandaid or tape or light (heh I often forget men don't really carry purses, mothers the history of the world have been building "micro survival kits" before it was cool!) Thanks for your thorough video and effort, don't give up or get discouraged. Just learn to manage your videos the way I obviously manage my posts :D :P
Best wishes my friend
Thanks so much for your thoughtful comment Wren!
No worries! I've been in the content game (online and offline) for a long time. I've also got another slightly larger YT channel on a completely different subject matter. So, I'm used to comments of all kinds.
I read and consider all comments. I do believe everyone has a right to an opinion and I will defend that right. However, the receiver has equally to consider the opinion and determine its value, specific to the receiver's own value system, content vision and sometimes idiosyncratic preference.
I personally enjoy long-form content which is why I produce longer content. Having said that, this is by far my longest video. And that was due to the nature of the subject. Most, if not all, of my other vids are of reasonable length I think (hope).
As a content creator, I know and fully accept that the content cannot satisfy everyone because we are all different. So the goal is to find a matching audience and satisfy as much of them as possible. And, it is always a process of evolution and improvement to find the eventual sweet spot of quality and quantity. Ultimately, with good intention, quality work, strong work ethic and the uncontrollable luck factor, hopefully one finds that audience.
But back to the tin. Was your idea for superglue for first aid to seal wounds?
For the flashlight, Olight makes professional flashlights and this mini one is unlike the dollar store ones. It is mighty for what it is.
Thanks for your thoughts and sharing! J C
I have watched this more than once, maannn I really love altoids videos ❤❤❤. Once again, GREAT VIDEO 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thank you 😊
Very creative and useful, well done!
Thank you! You are very kind!
I found a tin at Mr DIY years ago in the clearance section. It had the UK flag on it and an insert like a shelf. Really nice tin! Too bad it's probably sold out. I also like the plastic mint containers you find in any 7 in Thailand. You squeeze it to open, but it shuts fairly well. Great as pill containers.
Thanks for sharing! Sometimes there are tins at Daiso. But as one subscriber shared, Marks & Spencer has a mint tin that is Altoids sized. I got one in KL!
Nice kit and video.
I think I would make multiple tins to spreads things around. Most people in urban surrounding have a backpack on them.
I'd preferably go with the generic tins and use coloured tape to label them. You could easily carry 4 tins and have way more options.
That's a great idea! Thanks for watching!
Wow. AMAZING job. Truly.
Thanks! You are very kind!
you literally have the best intro in this video on youtube
Thank You 😊!
@@urbanknifeguy it was so unexpected! good job
I won’t lie, my initial thought, after laughing at the Altoids of course, was a little dismissive. But it’s actually quite useful! Good stuff!
Thanks! Glad you watched it through and enjoyed it! 😁
I prefer a SAK Tinker instead of the Leatherman, the Ninja Card and the Spiderco. You can add to the knife several other ítems in the box. For example a needle a firesteel, dental floss, a magnet and others
Thanks for your thoughts but I don't think the Tinker fits in this specific box.
@@urbanknifeguy i have it so. It fits.
Pain meds are good as you can get a small injury, trip. Additionally aspirin even if you don’t normally use is good if someone has a heart attack. Chew 2 aspirin, might save a life till medical help comes. Good videos.
Thanks for your comment and watching!
Thank you! I will definitely make my own tin like this, but will add a mirror.
You are welcome! All the best!
You can always polish the bottom of the tin to use as a signal mirror.
@@tonyrome655 awesome idea! Thanks!
I would like to see a survival kit done up in a stainless steel bento box. They usually have a removable gasket seal (in case of the need to boil). The handles aren't long but one of those camp handle or mini vise grips could stand in. Haven't seen that variation yet and I watch A LOT of these kinds of videos.
Nice! Will look into that. I have a retro lunch box emergency kit which would be closest that will be released very soon! I've seen a couple of good stainless bento boxes that will work well as you pointed out.
ruclips.net/video/4nVYUo6xyp0/видео.html check this (DFYL), he has bento type stainless survival kit.
I liked this video for the mind blowin intro 👍👍
Altoids tins are nice because what you put in one is limited only by space and your imagination. I've seen many videos thru the years about what to put in one and the ideas are endless .
Yes they are! Thanks for sharing!
I see 3 major scenarios:
- Escape the city (go home)
- Stay put (e.g. if you live in the city, or if you are in your office)
- You are trapped ( elevator, collapsed building, metro/underground )
Going of this I have many thoughts and opinions. I might be wrong :D
WATER
Re-think the water situation, in many cities tap water needs power. Shops won't sell if there is no power and people will panic buy/take/steal/loot. So, water might not be as easily available.
Honestly, I don't think water-purification will solve that. So, no changes to the kit but something to keep in mind.
REDUNDANCY (Food for thoughts)
Many items seem redundant and bordering on useless (realistically, what are you going to use a wrench for?). Anyone carrying an Urban Survival Tin, will carry a knife, multitool/SAK and almost certainly some first-item gear already. I see very little use for fire (don't use fire in an enclosed space), so you could cut down there massively.
LIKE:
- glow-stick
- eye drops, might not be part of your FAK (though it would be better served if there were something to protect your eyes to go along with)
- mirror (from the Wallet Ninja, maybe you could stick it to the lid of the tin)
- the flex-pass. Though it seems useless where I live there is logic to that
- whistle
CONSIDER CHANGING
- Flashlight. Get a flashlight that has a lantern function. And one that can be used while being charged (especially if you carry a power bank on a regular base)
CONSIDER ADDING
- glass breaker (people might be trapped in cars)
- glucose pill (e.g. Dextro Energy)
- (caffeine) chewing gum to help you stay alert
- compass. You might be underground (subway) have poor visibility (e.g. dust or darkness + power outage (try spotting that landmark when it is not illuminated))
@Flashlight if you are someone who carries a baseball cap, maybe get a flashlight that can be clipped to the cap, could be handy (or actually hand-s-free).
Thanks for your thoughts and suggestions! All great and well thought out.
A compass does makes sense for night movement and if you are stuck underground in a subway system.
Fire - still think it has its place to set a controlled fire as a distraction.
I must test if this flashlight can be used when charging. It is tough to find flashlights of this size with lots of functionality. Most don't have the clip since they are keychain lights. I have the Olight Baton which has the cap clip. But it is too large for the tin.
I have some more options in my larger urban micro-pouch which incorporates quite a few of your ideas. Will share that soon.
Thanks so much!
The rest are all good suggestions and I will consider how they can be switched in.
@@urbanknifeguy The newer Nitecore can be used while being charged. RovyVonn and Nitecore both have tiny flashlights with side-lights (not exactly a lantern, but better than the glow-stick). Looking at my situation, I already carry a flashlight on my keychain. So, for me (and for others probably too) it could make sense to carry a tiny powerbank (e.g. a credid-card-sized one). This could both charge your flashlight or your phone (which might be useful too).
Fire is never really wrong, there are many uses for it. However, I think you went a bit overboard :D, probably don't need the matches and the petroleum jelly. I do like the lighter setup, that is really neat.
Supposedly "Ranger Bands" were named as such because they were original improvised by US Rangers to secure equipment and also prevent it from shifting/making noise. They were ideal for their particular UV resistance as well as their resistance to drying out/cracking.
Thanks. I would believe that is a distinct possibility. I know that the Singapore Army would have adopted it from the Israeli army who trained the Singapore army in the early years.
@@urbanknifeguy The story was told to me by my grandfather before he passed. He was a Ranger but honestly, it could have come from anywhere. The concept makes a lot of sense anyway. Good video by the way. I've been working on my own kits for a long while and have some interesting ideas and gear I could share if we get a chance in the future to talk again.
Superb video. Excellent presentation. 👍👍👍
Thank you!
I feel this video could have been 10 minutes long or less - even watching at 2x speed it took a while to get to good information. I might me making one - just to sell the leather holder, but skip the first 9 minutes to get to something worthwhile. At 24:14 you can see the contents all laid out so you can decide if it may be of use for you.
Fair enough! Some might to hear the rationale but I understand wanting to get to the meat! Thanks for your thoughts!
@@urbanknifeguy I agree completely. Sometimes I want all of the details, sometimes not so much. Provided input to help - not to criticize - though I can see the tone may not convey that. Thank you for sharing .
@@SleepWithCJ I completely understand and appreciate it. I'll add chapters and timestamps in time.
Awesome giveaway, I do like the nitcore ti whistle. I've carried one on my keychain for a while now. 👍
Nice! Thank you very much!
Happy to have waited to comment until the end . . . . hahaha. Nice work!
Thank you very much!
Where did you get or how did you make the mini eye drops vial!!! I REALLY need this!!
Here amzn.to/3Y2LZ9b
Good I enjoyed your video
Thank you!
A lock picking tool card (from Grimm Workshop) would be a good addition.
That's cool! Have not heard of them. Lots of practice though! Thanks.
Nice kit
Thank you!
Dental floss! Yes!
😁
Great video! New the the channel and appreciate your overview and some of the suggestions you have for this tin. Any new items since this video came out? Now following!
Thanks! Welcome to the channel. Check out the updated tin here ruclips.net/video/6yGN0GUZMR0/видео.html
Fantastic items and uses! Too bad the Leatherman PS4 Squirt is discontinued, it was the best tool for altoid tins builds! You can still find it but prices are a bit too high now!
I made myself one of those tin kits but it doesn't contain anything first aid or sewing:
I have a capsule with different normal and stormproof matches and a striker,
Two of those chemlights I love them mostly found in fishing shops,
A Ruike S11 small knife,
A small niteize locking carabineer if I need to hook the light somewhere,
A nitecore tiki GITD keychain light,
A nitecore NTK05 it's a folding scalpel holder with a spare blade,
A micro Clipper lighter
It's something like: 2 ways to make fire, 2 ways to make light, 2 ways to cut stuff!
I'll definitely have to add a sewing needle with some thread, a straw with antiseptic cream, some bandaids and maybe some meds for headaches or stomach!
Thanks for your videos and ideas!
Thank you and thanks for sharing!
That opening thing was so hilarious because everybody thinks that their Altoids tin is so amazing and I was like oh no he’s one of those people that thinks he’s better than everyone else’s and then when it was Justments I started cracking up. Sorry for the poor voice to text but I think you know what I was trying to say and I’m not gonna go through the process of editing it
Haha... thanks. Glad you liked it.
Very helpful. Thank you.
You're welcome! Glad you found value!
Watched till 6:51, and only dancing hands! I have lost my patience. Leaving.
Sorry to hear that. You are missing out!
Lovely kit of minor use in a real situation. I have $100 hard cash you would never get on a plane in New York Airports with that kit in pocket or carry on- re knife multitools lighter& matches. Nice kitschy kit good for scouting weekend pack back stuff
Yes, as I mentioned in the video, this kit will have to be checked in during air travel. No airline in the world will let you carry it onboard today. Thanks for watching.
Replace alcohol swabs, and antiseptic wipes from time to time because they do dry out.
Yes, thanks!
The intro got a follow from me
Thank you! 😁
Very nice. Recommend you also put one or two $20 bills in there. The most universally useful tool of all is cash.
Thanks for the suggestion! And thanks for watching!
Good video. Thanks!
Thank you for watching!
A humble suggestion-seal the edges with a small amount of electrical tape..
yep so damn much!
You might want to recheck the tin, Altoids come England UK, not USA.
I stand corrected. Thank you!
You are the only one who has gone into more depth for first aid with the antiseptic cream and eyedrops. Most of the other youtubers add a bandaid and painkillers and call it good! I buy tiny 5g sachets of triple antibiotic cream which is different from antiseptic cream. I also have a few hollow cotton swabs with liquid iodine for wound cleaning and water purification. I have some blood clotting powder in sachets and antihistamine liquid filled tablets for allergic reactions. If the patient is unconscious, you can save their life by rubbing the antihistamine liquid on their gums. Nice kit, except for the wallet ninja - which IMHO is useless and redundant with your multitool
Thanks and thanks for your suggestions. Great ideas. I've done an updated video on this and yes, the Wallet Ninja is out
I carry 2 tins with my EDC kit
Nice. Thanks!
If the tin will fit into those nicer holders, why not just use the holders?
Much easier to hold in place with the tin!
If you have small pouches, why use an altoids container?
Much harder to contain and keep stuff organised IMO.
Like those Altoids Tin videos. I am curious, where did you get this black Spyderco ?
It's the Spyderco Bug. You can find it from most Spyderco dealers.
Jus came across this vid…nice kit with lots of quality items…is this a standalone kit or to compliment your edc…pocket knife, flashlight etc?🤙🏽😄
Thanks! This is a refreshing comment! It complements my EDC which you can watch here ruclips.net/video/EGB_zsht26Q/видео.html
I love you edc is one of the best I have see
I would also recommend to put sachet of sugar and salt 😂
Thank you and thanks for your suggestion!
Excelente, de los mejores kit que he vsito
Thank you!
Hello, I really like your setup and your ability to fit so many useful items in such a small space. You mentioned sculpting experience... By any chance, you also meant LEGO sculpting? I remember to follow a channel called Small Brick City where the host used to make tiny lego buildings so well organized and packed with awesome details... The voice sounds the same.
Thanks. Glad you liked it. No, my professional design experience was in theatrical props and gear. But that did lend itself to building small Lego MOCs. And yes, Small Brick City is my other channel 😁
@@urbanknifeguy Oh I knew it! Thanks for answering and glad to have found this other channel by chance. I quite like how you organize and optimize spaces to its full potential.
@Chunny does stuff thank you! Glad you found me too! Like a needle in a haystack 🤣
save yourself some time and skip the blah, blah, blah to 9:05 to see what's in the damn thing.
🤣
Urban survival gear. Ok lets start from the 3 most important items to have. Crowbar, bolt cutters and multitool. You must have them!
Fair points! But not in this tiny tin 🤣
Excellent!
Thank you!
Clever!
Thanks!
arimid string its like as strong as 550 paracord but as small as dental floss. got me a infinite rheel for 7 buk
I wonder what the practical scenarios for using this one are. No offense, but for me as a German guy, for the 1st 10 minutes or so, I couldn't figure out if that video was meant to be taken serious or if it was a joke.
No offence taken. You can take it as seriously as you like. :-D Don't leave home without it!
Nice job!
Thank you!
A piece of aluminum foil to use with the glow stick to make a reflector would help.
Great idea and a space-saving item!
Thanks
I kept adding things to the outside of my tin and now I hava a warehouse! 😶
That is thinking outside the box!
@@urbanknifeguy
😄 touche 👍
If I may suggest, a betadine pad would be much better than the alcohol. It takes the same space and is a much better disinfectant. It doesn't burn, either.
BTW, NEVER SUTURE A WOUND WITH ITEMS NOT SPECIFICALLY MEANT FOR THE JOB! ESPECIALLY WITH SEWING NEEDLES OR OTHER SEWING ITEMS! IN ADDITION, NEVER TRY TO SUTURE ANYONE UNLESS YOU ARE PROPERLY TRAINED!
Thanks for the suggestion. Always on the lookout to improve the kit.
Stitching - best use a curved needle
Yes agreed! Thanks!
Super cool!
Thanks!
I had a similar mini lighter and when I came back to it a month later the fuel had totally evaporated out.
It could be the lack of the rubber O-ring or a broken O-ring as that is what keeps it sealed.
@@urbanknifeguy for sure! Thanks for the reply. I did check it out. O ring looked fine, but this was Amazon crap so either the O ring, the cap, or the lighter could have been way off spec. I just decided to trust the Bic mini instead. Great video BTW
@@aprilk141 thanks! I don't get mini Bics here but that is a great alternative!
Doesn't getting a nice semirigid custom made leather pouch defeat the point of using a cheap little tin? Why not just put everything in the pouch?
Mainly cos it will will be hard to organise the items in the pouch and "dig" to get the items you. Thanks!
A cigarette pack selefane fits right over an altoids tin , to keep it closed
Thanks for the tip!
Alternatively a small tupperware box might also be water proof, if missing a metal box.
Yes thank you!
painkillers isn't a bad idea if it's aspirin. that can help to lessen the effects of a heart attack for a bit.
Yes! Could switch the paracetamol out for that! Thanks.
Cheers
Plz note some medication could break down while in contact with the aluminum !

Your focus work is do weak, you could probably use the door opener tool.
I wish I could understand what you mean 🤣
