Take a sandwich size zip-lock bag, fold it up to be about the same size as your altoids tin (length and width) and ranger-band it to the outside of the tin with *two* ranger bands. This gives you a nice size container that won't necessarily break as easily as a tinfoil cup for drinking from, purifying water in, holding bait while fishing, and a plethora of other things.

If nothing else reading it was a giggle
I'm not a fan of the "survival tin" most times people say they put this, that or the other in there for this, that or the other uses/purposes and the stuff isn't up to the job, the majority of wire saws are a joke as just one example.
If you go out and setup camp and try each piece of kit for all the purposes you've stated I'd be interested in a follow up post/thread.
I have to agree with that!:thumb:If nothing else reading it was a giggle

Yep. I'm planning on doing that next month. The only items I have any concerns about are the wire saw and button compass. I'll put the saw through a real stress test cutting wood. The button compass works now, but I'm not so sure after 6-12 months in the Arizona heat. We'll see. I bought different kinds, i.e. fluid and dry of different sizes, so we'll see.If nothing else reading it was a giggle
