- No money was spent building this simple, urban Altoids Every Day Carry kit. All items were found in my house.
Thanks to my friend D
Thanks and shout out to UrbanPrepper: • Altoids Kits | The Urb...
Nice job on the kit, glade u pointed the key out. Nice touch.
I like how you are not annoying. Many edc/preppkiters talk overanimated. You say your stuff simple, but not plain or emotionless. I enjoyed listening (and watching).
Not a bad kit at all. I can't think of anything you should have that isn't already in there. And if you like TheUrbanPrepper's kits, you should check out MeZillch, if you haven't already. That man is a GENIUS when it comes to micro kits.
Great video with lots of ideas, thank you. My suggestions are (1) a tiny square mirror. It's flat and you can find them on old tiles, ceramics and mirror balls. Useful for the plainly obvious and to signal. (2) A small neodymium magnet, folded into cellotape that you can use to retrieve things. (3) a piece of magnetic tape, you can find on office calendar boards to hold tiny objects like glasses screws in one place and within the tin. (4) A flat lollipop stick - with all kinds of uses. (5) a piece of hard plastic straw tube, like on a WD40 or compressed air can.
As far as lighters go, don't spend a lot of money trying to find something better than a Mini Bic. Liquid fuel lighters leak and dry up, and refillable lighters need to be bled to properly accept a refill, and even then I don't find that they last as long as a Mini Bic. It's a great lighter that works every time. I keep one as a back up in my EDC pack for when my main pipe lighter runs out.
Plus the flint still works once the fuel runs out.
I cut my duct tape down the middle to make it half the width which turns 2 ft and 4 ft and I very rarely have needed that wide piece of tape. It makes it closer to the size of electrical tape. I also use gorilla tape because it's unbelievably strong and can always get the job done
One of the best uses of space in an Altoids tin I've seen. And with practical everyday items. Good job.
I would like you to see mine to see what you think about it
I love your kit, especially knowing that you use what you already have ! Thanks for your sharing 🌿🌸
The spare house key is a very clever idea
Worth watching just for the tip about the key. Duh. Why didn't I think of that?? I once got locked out, and it was a nightmare! This is good thinking, Batman. And Victorinox Swiss Army Knife is the BEST pocket knife and multi-tool. Good choice!
Very helpful video ❤
Please suggest compact transparent glue tape which can be torn by hands
2:52 He finally opens it up.
Great kit with minimal expense. Just an FYI, there is a hole in the scale of your SAK under the philips to keep a straight pin. Also, in my opinion, I would keep the SAK in my pocket and use the space for a Gerber dime or Leatherman micra.
I am 9 and I use stuff I find from my house to because my parents do not take me to the store only sometimes
As mentioned in another post MeZillch is the man for fixing more stuff in small containers than anyone. This is a nice kit. Safety pin?
Can confirm 2x safety pins included in this kit 👀
Great kit - very practical. I suggest getting a Ferro rod that fits in the SAK toothpick slot. They’re pretty cool. Called Firefly from Tortoise Survival and Outdoor Gear. Great for camping.
Very nice edc! Cool idea with those pockets. I would add some zip ties. :)
Nice kit, lots of items that i usual keep either in my pockets or in the top of my bag. nice idea to have it all in one place in a tin.
Recomand Victorinox rambler / Manager .. are doar 5.8 cm și se potrivește mai bine in cutiuta . Eu am rambler și sunt mutumit de el .Bafta !
Enjoyed the video. We keep an eyeglass repair kit, including screws, in the glove box of each family vehicle. They are needed so rarely that they don't deserve pocket space.
How will you carry your Altoids kit in the hot summer months?
Thanks for posting.
Hi Bob, thanks for taking the time to comment. I actually have a purse (murse, manbag, call-it-what-you-will) with a small front pocket perfectly sized for this tin.
Love this video. Very good content. So much better than all the altoid tin kit videos. Well done
Awesome kit for being made with stuff you had lying around the house in a junk drawer or wherever.
Please be aware of the limitations of the kit but great job finding that stuff.
I have to say: a random Allen wrench that you can't say what purpose it might serve (emergency furniture construction ?) BUT NO IMMODIUM! I can surely tell you what emergency might come up where that could be useful. Why oh why does everyone think that they will need to build a fire or open a can of beans more than deal with the effect of said beans?
This is a GREAT kit!!!!
Guitar pick open a smartphone, you can get ferrol rod to replace the toothpick.
This is actually really cool
Awesome kit!
Good video... hi from Brazil...
Hi Brian.
What was the "flat pack" at the top of the lid made from? Would a plastic credit card holder from a wallet fit or would that be too wide? What about Emergency Contact List in case cell phone is not working?
Put the SAK in your pocket and you’ll have a lot more room in your tin.

Carrying around stuff for others is not a prepper---thats called a SHERPA----when someone asks for a knife etc----i just shake my head and say sheeple--if tthey want things---then have them carry that stuff---only offer it if its advantage to you---if not there using you as a crutch
By default- you got a few things right---guitar picks are very flammable---so can start fire easy----no super glue?? nail clippers be good
I did like your fiver---plus the way you did your matches....pencil---the original write all----crayon is usefull too as candle and writing
The guitar pic can be used to create fire just let you know thanks bye🇵🇱🧸🛶⛺️🏳️🌈👩🍳🇺🇸
Purpose of guitar pick?
They make very good tinder, and help you play guitar! 😊
