I made mine in a metal band-aid box because I had it. Very similar items
@co1950 - Thanks for taking the time to post. Those boxes were great. I'd actually pay extra to be able to buy them now, if Band-Aid offered them.
I had built a kit out of the metal "Band Aid" boxes. They were handy for so many things. Mine was more of a first aid kit, but also had a tiny 1 AA Eveready flash light (dim but useful) note paper, pencil with cloth tape around it, foil wrapped kitchen matches, the small "craft" scissors for cutting gauze and medical tape. All fit nicely in the 4×3.5×1.5 tin with a hinged lid. That's when things were made in the USA and durable. I was always out, in the woods behind my house and became my own medic rather than running home to get patched up by mom. And as always, a knife on my hip.
@rquest3059 - Thanks for your post. I LOVED THOSE TIN BAND AID BOXES!! they were the perfect container for storing "found kid things" like marbles, mummified frogs, worn beach glass, blue feathers, empty robin egg, pocket knife. Your right, they would also make a really nice little med kit. Thanks for sharing this!
@@rquest3059 I use a tobacco tin in a camera pouch. It's got a stack of stuff in it. I also carry a shoulder bag with other useful stuff. I've just added an emergency blanket to my bag . I think it will be very useful to carry... fail to prepare... prepare to fail 😀
@@Drew-Abbott 100% correct, and we need to be more so today than ever before.
@@rquest3059 although British problems are on a league of their own. You have a good point sir
I had made one very similar to yours when I was in the weblos scouts our web lost leader helped us to build one
Thank you for sharing this outstanding video on a Boy Scout "Tuna Can" Kit project from the 1970s (from the intro., item descriptions, time-lapse packing, etc.).
These kits are a great, fun way to learn a variety of practical skills with minimal gear items and creativity in kit-design & problem solving...for all ages.
Happy Trails!

They are great. I enjoyed making them then and still find it to be exciting and challenging 50 years later. Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts here.
A nifty little project indeed.
In 1967, my Cub Scout Troop had the fire booth at the Scout-O-Rama in Austin Texas. I was 8 years old. We made fire with flint and steel every half hour for 2 1/2 days. I’ve use f/s for almost every fire I’ve made since then.
I think it’s important for kids to have projects like this survival tin you made. It gives such a feeling of accomplishment, and strengthens the desire to make things happen.
👍🏼👍🏼
@arctodussimus6198 - I agree. This project stuck in my brain for 50 years. I'd say it had an impact. Many thanks for sharing your thoughts here.
i made one of these in scouts in the later 50's.we were told they were not survival kits but lost kits because we would be found.i use a bigger slip top can made for big treble hooks that held lots of stuff.i still have the small bottle of halazone
tabs to make water safe and the trout flys i made.as a scout it was assumed you would have at least a canteen and knife.
when i took up wilderness canoeing in the 80's to 2000's i used the basic ideas i found in scouts to turn my PFD into a real survival kit.nice work,thanks.
@wetcanoedogs - Thank you so much for taking the time to share this info with our viewers. I like the idea of calling it a "Lost Kit" because the user will be found :-).
I actually want to build this for myself
@aceisking - thanks for taking the time to post. I'd love to see what you come up with. If you decide to do it, please post photos to our Reddit page here: www.reddit.com/r/Earthling_EDC/ Many thanks!
Great video. 1970 is after my Scouting time though. I take that back, once a real Boy Scout, always a Boy Scout. Today I still use and follow the old Boy Scout ways and teaching. Be prepared and do a good turn daily.
@user-jy7to4nh3w - Many thanks for your post. Words to live by - "Be prepared and do a good turn daily." All the best to you!
When I was a child, around 12 or 13 years old, I also built something like this, but it never occurred to me to use a can, and I definitely wouldn't have been able to make a lamp like yours. It's definitely a great idea. Thank you for sharing this moment.
@herculesroquefeler - The can can hold 6 oz of water and be used as a pot over an open fire. that opens up the ability to cook and sterilize water if you don't happen to have purification tablets. those are pretty big pluses for building a tuna can into a kit. These builds can get your mental juices flowing :-). I've already had a couple requests to build a more contemporary version. Many thanks for your post.
@@EarthlingEDC Since I saw your video, I've been wanting to set up a configuration with cans. I've already watched your videos with Altoids tins, but I prefer the version with food cans because of the extra utilities you mention. I'll be looking forward to your upcoming contemporary configurations.
Just a thought. If you wrapped a rubber band around your light, you could use it 1) to insulate the positive connection from burning out if it touches during storage, 2) to hold down the positive lead to keep it running hands-free, and 3) I guess you'd also have a rubber band for something else, lol. Cool video!
@christopherchapman8893 - Thank you for your suggestion and your feedback. I think I'm going to do a video about making this flashlight by just using ranger band(s) (wide rubber band made from a bicycle inner tube), two AAA batteries and a single LED. Also curious to see how long it will run. Many thanks for your suggestion.
Neat kit. I'm 61. That is pretty slick and can just be shoved in a hunting jacket pocket. Personally, I would include a couple choice pages from a pocket New Testament for something to do and uplift. Thanks for the neat video.
A wallet photo of the family
@texmex8220 - I thin the Urban Prepper does that with his Altoids tin kits. It's a great idea and I might include it in a more contemporary build of this kit.
@ScottCarlson-cz7wj - Thanks for taking the time to post your thoughts on this build and what you would add. Curious what selection you would pick?
@@EarthlingEDC would love to see an updated kit put together. Items that you would now put in a similar kit
@@EarthlingEDC I would choose Psalm 91 and/or Psalm 23. Something to get my mind off the circumstances, relax, and trust the Lord for deliverance. The family photo is a great idea too. Some P.O.W.'s just curled in the fetal position and died, others survived for years. You've got to 'keep the faith'. Thanks brother.
Fascinating! Thank you very much! Cheers from Germany. And a nice WE to all! 🤗🫶
@kaidzaack2520 - Thank you for your post. Your feedback is sincerely appreciated.
@kaidzaack2520 - Thank you for your feedback. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
@@EarthlingEDC Thank YOU! I instantly copied your flashlight 😅. Just added a rubber band to one cell to prevent the lamp from connecting unintentionally AND to hold the wire down if i want to use it hands free…😉
I don’t know how many boxes of cracker jacks I had to consume before I finally got the whistle prize! I made a light with a c cell and a flashlight bulb and wire when I was around 8, but it was a continuity tester. I’m still making my own tools! Thanks for the memories!
@blademan175 - You are very welcome. Thank you for sharing yours !!
I love it!!!! Especially the aluminum foil folded to shape and the lid. Great idea on the paper cut to shape also. Thank you so much for sharing this... and your cool memories : )
Ha...I was wondering how the plastic bags were going to fit : ))
@sheilagaleano365 - Getting things to fit is like solving a jigsaw puzzle. Plus deciding what to include or NOT include can become a real brain teaser as well. thanks for taking the time to post your feedback here. It is greatly appreciated,
@sheilagaleano365 - They are nice to have for carrying water and using the purification tablets. Plus having the flexibility to bend, roll and fold them into any available space makes them an amazing tool to include in one of these can kits. Thanks for posting.
I always think of making a survive kit using the hinged rectangle candy can but when you mentioned using the tuna can for a drinking cup or pot that makes more sense. Amazing all that fits inside , I carry a small shoulder bag hiking this would be a cool kit for it
@sailawaybob - Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts on this video. There are some real advantages to using the tuna can vs an Altoids tin. The big one is the ability to use the can for cooking and boiling water.
What a wonderful kit, I enjoyed it a lot! Thank you, sir
@JimLander - Thank you very much. Your feedback is sincerely appreciated.
Wonderful and well done video! As a teenager I went to a weeklong survival camp where we used a kit very similar to this to survive a week. The final evening they brought some steaks, potatoes and corn. One of the guys had accidentally brought beef bullion cubes instead of chicken and it was the best seasoning on those steaks … of course we were rather hungry at the time and an old boot may have tasted good by then!
@vmorrow8310 - Thanks for taking the time to share this. Now I need to remember to bring beef cubes instead of chicken :-) thanks again for posting.
@@EarthlingEDC glad to share, I don’t discount the morale boost a hot cup of broth brings when you are out in the elements! I also had a single tea bag (welcome flavor change from the iodine water tabs we were using). Thanks for everything, including bringing up so great old memories!
Great fun, thanks for sharing. Made a similar kit in one of my grandads old tobaco tins in the early 1980's. Remember coating the matches in candle wax to waterproof them.
@johnp99550 - Thanks for your feedback. SO glad you enjoyed it. This was a fun video to make.
I think you have a great kit. It's weird that most men dont carry edc tins, but they constantly reminded their wife does. I make outdoor stuff from everyday items. I call it granny's pocket dc
@Drew-Abbott My Grandmother carried a large purse everywhere. It was loaded with just about everything. If you needed something, she would suddenly pull it from her purse. I would call these the original EDC pouches :-)
@@EarthlingEDC absolutely. It would be a great name for an edc store or website
It is fun to do little projects you did as a kid, now as an older adult. I’d like to see you do the same kit with modern components! I’ve seen where a company (I think called Wazoo) who sells one that costs a small fortune! When I complained about the cost, they went on about all the testing and science that went into it!😂 I am also 63 and I love projects like this as well. Smaller old school mess kits are what I enjoy putting together these days. I think it stems from the days when I got a new lunch box every year for school. I was always proud of them. It can become quite addictive!😂 Thanks for sharing this with us all.😊
@gud2go50 - thanks for posting. I've had a couple viewers ask about me doing a contemporary version of this kit. That got me thinking.... Might be a future video :-) thanks for the suggestion..
Wazoo kit is definitely not priced for the weak of heart. I've got a viking spark from them. Its excellent kit that has come in handy repeatedly. You have to realize its a business, they have to profit or its a defunct business. You can definitely make a kit cheaper yourself, just dont compromise quality.
Good job Makes me want to put 1 together for the tackle box Or glove box in the truck Nice video
@mikeyoung7086 - Keep in mind this built attempted to use item that were similar to those that I used in the 70's. There are better quality contemporary items that may provide you with better results than what appeared in this video. I may do a follow-up video that uses newer items in the build. thanks for posting.
One thing we always carried in our kit was a couple of spoonfuls of flour. Flour is a great clotting agent for cuts. You just rub it into the cut, and it scabs over almost immediately.
@johnt.chambers4204 - Interesting. I've never heard that. Thanks for posting and sharing that!
A kit like this would be good for emergency carry in a automobile. It would prevent theft
@FredFreiberger-pk6wc - Thanks for taking the time to post this suggestion.
Very well done. It’d be interesting to update with modern versions of the same pieces.
I would definitely tune in for the "new and improved" version :D
@dalecarr5445 & @thumperstick - Guess I should have expected this. :-) We'll have to call this the
"Tuna Can Survival Kit Challenge". Anyone else want to get in on this???
Just an idea,you could wrap an elastic band or ranger band around the aa battery length ways and put it under the light connector so it doesn’t connect the light when travelling an put it over the connector when you want the light on instead of having to hold down the connector, stay safe
@lesedwards936 - I read this post yesterday and have been mulling it over. I'm thinking that I make a more modern version of the flashlight that instead of electrical tape to hold it together, I use Ranger Bands (bands made from bicycle inner tubes). I could then do exactly as you are suggesting and simplify the entire construction as well. I may not even need to solder it. Many thanks for the suggestion. :-)
In 1962, our Boy Scout Troop taught us to use a Band Aid tin can that came with a hinged metal lid. For a knife we used those tiny Revlon grooming knives. We also carried a couple of bithday candles(I don't remember tea light candles in those days). Nice video. Good Luck, Rick
Rick,
Thanks for sharing this info. Is this the knife that you remember?
i.ebayimg.com/00/s/MTA2NlgxNjAw/z/-3kAAOSwGbFfpcE5/$_57.JPG?set_id=8800005007
@@EarthlingEDC Similar. The top and bottom on mine are parallel. It had two blades. One was a 1" knife and the other I don't remember. We had a small bottle of iodine for wounds and water treatment. Good Luck, Rick
New subscriber here from the Philippines! Inspiring project, man!
@jdive12 - thank you for your feedback, it is sincerely appreciate. All the best to you.
I love this! Such a cool idea. I wonder if you could put a compact mirror on the inside of the lid you could use for signaling if you were trying to get rescued.
May want to protect the battery light. Does the tape prevent it from corroding and leaking acid on the other things?
Ingenious. I bet you were a resourceful young man.
Thanks for putting together and sharing with us. 😊 Fun to watch. I really like the idea of the tuna can and pet food can cover.
@h.nicolejorgensen2077 - Many thanks for sharing your thoughts about this video here. Adding a small mirror would be a good idea for when I do a more contemporary version of this build. The aluminum foil will tarnish over time, so it will not be reflective after a while. Thanks again for your feedback.
Hello! Nice kit ! It is very that women carry one in their purse , backpack or work bag
@sandrawyche545 - Thank you for taking the time to post. I sincerely appreciate your feedback. Another option for carrying in a back pack or work bag might be this: ruclips.net/video/chh1TK534AU/видео.html Let me know what you think about Using a pocket rack instead of a tin. Thanks again for sharing your thoughts here.
In Girl Scouts, we did make very handy "sit upons." Loved mine, but i would have learned SO much more useful things being in the Cub Scouts and/or Boy Scouts.
@sheilagaleano365 - Thanks for taking the time to share this. I looked them up and found this post from the Girl Scouts of Central Texas. - www.gsctx.org/content/dam/gsctx-redesign/documents/members/for-volunteers/troop-planning-resources/Girl-Scout%20Sit-Upon.pdf It looks like there are several variations of these. Remember there is nothing to stop you from building out many of the EDC kits in the videos that are shared on this channel. I look forward to see what you can do with them. Thanks again for posting.
@EarthlingEDC yes : ))) Thank you. Most fun thing I remember : ) I have always loved making things.... still do.... have a small art biz : )
Both brothers were in Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts; my mom was a Den Leader; I was in Brownies and Girl Scouts. Lucky us : ) Thank you again.
This is great, i remember swiping my brothers LOL.
@whitetrim1 - Thanks for posting. This was a really fun project. Loving the feedback and memories that viewers like you are sharing. All the best to you..
Haha I remember the Airport Drive in! Now it's just airport parking, but the Twin Screens drive in still had summer movies a few years back.
@pamackenzie - loved going to the flea market they had there on the weekends. Wish there were more active Drive ins :-) Thanks for your post
Had similar kits in my Boy Scout gear in the late 80’s up to ‘91. Almost exactly the same stuff too. Probably much the same stuff as the WW2 survival kits.
@MrRugercat45 - Building these out was (and still is) an interesting mental exercise. It's even more interesting to use one for a day or two to see how it will function.
Bean dip can comes with food grade container and lid too. Nice vid
@BIGMINION502 - Do you think it is the same size as a tuna can tin? thanks for sharing that info :-)
@@EarthlingEDC I bet tuna cans were bigger then, than the 5 oz can you now used. One reason I buy tuna at COSTO is that the Kirkland tuna are 7 ounce tins. :-) Some there are smaller. I wish I new what size the tuna cans were when I was in Boy Scouts in the 1960's.
Aluminum foil makes a good lightweight and reusable lid, for a pan.
@MarcMallary - Thanks for taking the time to post this. It is much appreciated.
Nicely done. Thank you for sharing. Wish you well.
@dankolar6066 - Many thanks for your feedback. It is sincerely appreciated. All the best to you!
I need those walgreens bags!!! Gonna go look for em tomorrow.
@conductorcammon - That was a good find. Glad you like them.
Fun little kit. Thanks for sharing it with us.
JT
It is a fun little starter kit. Basic, but it helps to build a better understanding of what you might need in a more advanced kit design. Thanks for your post.
So fun! Thanks for doing this!
@Lgabriel217 - It was a very fun and nostalgic video for me to make as well. I'm glad you enjoyed it :-)
This is delightful! It would work today, too. The can opener could possibly be used to lift the can off the fire - if it will catch the edge of the tin.
@FidoHouse - Thank you for your post. I think I've done that can opener lift from a fire before. If I remember correctly it was a bit precarious. Now I need to go try it with a tuna can :-) thanks for the suggestion.
our knives were the double bladed ones that our dads past down .
@tedsandidge-zo4jp - Thanks for taking the time to post. I think the type of knife you might get from your dad would depend on how old you are now. My dad had a small single blade pocket knife with a wooden handle. I remember it on camping trips.
First time watcher. I like your format. I'm 74 and would have loved to have a kit like this at 10 or 11. We had a few items. Thank you. Looking forward to more videos.
@r.tomrobison8307 - Thank you for being a subscriber and for posting.
The cloth you'd have is your neckerchief from your uniform to pick up the metal can. 😉
Ah yes the neckerchief. It never quite caught on as a contemporary fashion statement for the general public but was the peak of fashion for Scouts. Excellent suggestion 👍
Thanks, for sharing a memory of your history, I like making pocket kits. I think I will try and make a can kit.
@kacythomas7436 - You are very welcome. I would encourage you to give it a try. When you finish it, post some photos to our Reddit page at: www.reddit.com/r/Earthling_EDC/ Enjoy!
Watching you fit all of that into that can...I'll bet you were a master at Tetris! Lol!
@appey67 - I'm also amazed at how much I got into that can. When I was testing the volume with water, it came to 3/4 of a cup (6 oz) which really surprised me. I thought it was going to be much less since the can appears to be very small. Thanks for bringing this up.. :-)
Very smart set
@gloriastanley2156 - This was an enjoyable video to make. Many thanks for your feedback. It is sincerely appreciated.
I sent a link to my Scout Master son-in-law.
@JimLander - Excellent! I'd love to hear what he thinks of scouts in 2024 building kits like this.
Awesome, fun project! Enjoyed your video! Thanks for posting!
@gordontyree4308 - Many thanks for your feedback. It is sincerely appreciated.
your right, the way you monkey with things as a kid shows your aptitude as an adult. My brother was always making crystal radios, and messing with electronics, he took everything apart! He became an electrical supervisor at Nasa! I used to sell things as a kid, and always be looking at the ground trying to find things. Now I sell vintage and antique online, and at flea markets etc...I also love to make little things, and I collected 'and still do' miniature things. I grew up in the 70's as well! I loved the video, though that knife looks like it was from the dollar tree, and if it is it just falls right apart. I would get one that is older, that has pliers to hold that can.
@pueblodove - Many thanks for sharing your thoughts here. Sounds like we have very similar backgrounds. I've got a vintage buck rogers pocket knife that I featured in one or two of my earlier videos. I might bring in some more older gear just to mix it up a bit. It just feels familiar. :-) Thanks again for taking the time to post.
@@EarthlingEDC your welcome, You should put the Buck Rogers knife in the kit if it fits. I love older stuff. Yes I agree, we must be around the same age. I have an original tiny brass folding Cracker Jacks knife!
There it is! Very Nice 👍
Sometimes you get what you ask for. Many thanks for asking 😁
Mine was packed in 2 35mm film cans in a belt pouch
@seankane8628 - Thanks for your post. Are we talking about the aluminum 35mm canister with the screw on lids or the plastic canister with the snap on lids? How you answer will date you :-)
The metal ones, my dad did a lot of photography
I remember using Sierra cups!
They have an interesting history. I found this in Wikipedia - ( @jeffclark8555 Thanks for posting)
The Sierra cup was invented in the early 20th century, perhaps as early as 1905. They were a direct evolution of the tin cups used by campers in the 19th century, including naturalist John Muir, who often brought a tin cup with him during his trips to the wilderness, and founded the Sierra Club in 1892.[2] However, David Brower, the first executive director of the Sierra Club, stated in his 1990 autobiography that the Sierra cup is simply a modified imitation of the Appalachian Mountain Cup, which features a very similar design and was created by the Appalachian Mountain Club.[3]
Sierra cups were originally made out of tin, but switched to stainless steel after World War II.[2] Since then, modern Sierra cups have been made with other materials such as aluminum, titanium, and plastic.

maybe carry it separately? And on one’s person🤔
@behindthespotlight7983 - Thanks for posting and for being a subscriber. I'd say carry it in a way that works for you. In a camping situation, maybe keep it in a belt pack on your person. The point of keeping it small was to keep it on your person. Its interesting to think through the scenarios though...
cool take and the idea
Thanks you for your feedback. It is sincerely appreciated.

Neat-o!
@conductorcammon - SO glad that you like it. Thanks for being a subscriber
Neat little kit, quite up-to-date IMHO (except for the knife - today, I would take a Victorinox).
I hope, you thought of heating the aluminium-foil after folding it up - aluminium hardens from bending and gets brittle; without heating it will tear on unfolding and render it useless - before folding it into a cup you should heat it again.
To make a handle for your pot/cup take a piece from a coat-hanger and make two holes close to the rim ('WaypointSurvival' shows, how to bend it - watch his video 'DIY Hobo Cook Set: Lightweight 7 oz Kit Inspired by the 1916 Stopple Kook Kit!')
@mannihh5274 - Thank you for the info regarding the aluminum I was not aware of that. I'll also checkout the Hobo Cook Set video. Sounds interesting. All the best to you...
You made mention of Sana Barbara. Is that Santa Barbara Ca ?
@user-eg3yv3xr7s - It certainly is :-)
I want to first sa Thank You for sending me the link to were to buy those elastic crimper ends. Again I am so sorry to bother you again with 2 more question. What are the sizes of the Velcro and small or min little metal box that you have Velcro on your EDC Pocket Rack. Thank You so much again.
@SandTguy - Each of my videos have a link in the description to a PDF that contains a list (with links) of all the items that appeared in that video. that being said, the Velcro can be cut to any size you want, but what I'm using has a width of 19mm. The tins are 60mm X 34mm X 10.5mm. Thanks for your post.
Does that tuna can have a plastic liner? Would that be safe to cook in?
@kaidzaack2520 - Thank you for your feedback. As part of the canning process, tuna is cooked once before it is canned and a second time when it is in the can. My understanding is that if you are using the can for making a hot beverage or soup as described in the video, it should not present any issues. Good question!
the lead sinkers are banned in Maine and NH due to it being poisonous and all
@RevBTB- Well that's interesting. In the 70's that was not the case, but it appears to be now... www.mncenter.org/sites/default/files/document-grid/fact_sheet_-_other_states.pdf thanks for sharing that..
Details on that little tool kit please!
There are dozens of videos available on my channel showing how to use a pocket rack to build out a mini edc tool kit. Enjoy!!
Let’s go
Thanks for posting!
You were into this even before the term EDC existed. What would you call this hobby 50 years ago?
Wasn’t the Boy Scout motto “Always be prepared” ?
Back then I was a kid and we called it Scouting 😁
The Boy Scout motto is "Be Prepared". The motto was created by Robert Baden-Powell, an English soldier, in 1907 and published in Scouting for Boys in 1908. The motto's meaning is to always be ready in mind and body to do one's duty….Gemini AI
Scoutcraft
I agree with ‘Scouting’. That’s what we did as boys
Everything is great but a cheap knife is not. Better a good one.
@1234Mirin Thank you for your post. The reason for the cheap knife is that is the closest I could find to the cheap knife that I had when I built out the original kit when I was 12. I would definitively include something different if I built one of these kits now. Thanks for sharing your ideas here.
Way too much talking about each and every item. I wanted to see your old boy scout kit taken apart 😢 I'd add a mirror
@dirtyscoundrel2013 - Thanks for your post. Sorry that it was disappointing for you.
You’re right. Instead of enjoying a historical presentation, it’s so much more fun to complain and be contrary.
Your Awl is not, that's for cleaning your fingernails.
Yes it is, but I can use it as an awl. Thanks for posting.
