DIY The Ultimate ALTOIDS Survival tin

[Applause] welcome back comrades you like that all right glad to have you guys back and um we are doing a altoids survival 10 kit per se i already say that but yeah we're going to make a all toys 10 survival uh 10 and there's all kinds of videos on the internet of this but this is going to be my own personal one that i'm going to do and right off the bat you can already tell that this one is not the alt toys color it's because i spray painted it and i spray painted od green the coolest color in the world and uh yeah so uh gotta have a little bit of camouflage so i hope you guys are doing good and um hope you guys enjoyed the last adventure last overnighter that we did i had a lot of fun out there and um we'll be getting back out again it's just really hot right now but we'll be doing a summer camp so it'll be coming eventually and uh so yeah so let's just get right on to the video and uh with this one here i am going to over here you can't see it's off camera but i have all the uh accessories that we're going to put in this and uh this is going to be my own take my i put a lot of thought into this kit and um basically i bought all the stuff online stuff that i needed to make this kit and um so let's go ahead and get on the show okay so first things first this is glow-in-the-dark masking tape and we are going to put this on the lid portion right here and the idea behind this is to if it's night out or something or you know if i leave this sitting out i can have the tape on here the sun will hit it and maybe charge it a little bit and then at night hopefully it still holds a glow we're going to test it out when i open it i can keep about like this and i can see my contents inside with this glow-in-the-dark tape so that's going to be the first thing on here so to save time and purposes and everything i'm just going to do it off camera tape it and then we'll just keep going through each item so i just put two strips on there yeah there's a little bit of metal exposed no big deal that's all i think i'm gonna need so while we're getting our all of our next items out i'm just going to leave that open and that way the lights hitting it it's going to charge that so our next thing is is this cheap duck mirror duct tape and my idea behind this is to put it on this inside of the all toys can and it's because i want to have a signaling mirror for signal and with this here it seems a little more reflective the tape than the all toys can does it's kind of got a rougher surface it's not like a actual real military signaling mirror you can't actually see a reflection it's not a mirror but it's close it'll still reflect but i think with this tape it's got way more of a reflection in it so that's going to go there and that will be for signaling so i can take everything out and i can signal if i need help all right so check that out that is a lot more reflective than the altoids 10 aluminum you can even see the camera and everything can you guys see me there oh there i am oh there i am again okay that's pretty cool so yeah that definitely worked that was a good idea i must say that was a good idea all right our next step is let's see here i got all components up here i need something flat so let's go ahead and do this this here is a magnifying lens called also called fresno lens card and i had to cut them down to fit in the altoids tin so that's going to be our next step but i want to keep it in the sleeve to protect itself and so in order to fit these cars in here you have to cut the corners a little bit and maybe the length of them that's what i had to do with mine so that's for starting fire so there's our starting our fire starting source number one we need a cutting we need a cutting tool for cutting purposes so here i have a razor blade and these are a little bit different these aren't the rectangle ones these are angled ones so it gives you a little bit more of a i think it gives you more room to work with with your fingers than if you have the little rectangle ones they can be they can be a little smaller they don't have the angle here and an angle you can do other things with that you couldn't do with a regular rectangular one so that was my idea behind that so that'll go next i'll just set it in there like that our next step is going to be a p38 can opener always good to have in a survival kit for all situations all right next step is portable aqua chloride deoxide this is good for getting the viruses and all the bacteria and stuff out of the water when you need to drink it so i just took two tablets well actually i bought this i had these already but i have two tablets here and those are just going to go right there and that's for your so you can drink water safely all right the next step is going to be it's a toss-up i was thinking a tea light candle in here which it takes up a little more room or we can just do some birthday candles which the birthday candles yeah they take up room lengthwise but that would keep everything distributed better so i think we're going to use some of the birthday candles and i think i'm gonna go ahead and just put a three of those in there okay and our next step is going to be a reservoir bladder type material it's a latex material and it's for holding water and you want to get the non-lubricated uh version of this and it's just for holding water because if we're going to have our water tablets we need something to hold our water in so not lubricated latex or not latex depending what you're if you're allergic to latex but that will be our next thing that we put in there and that would be for holding water next step is going to be a button compass always got to have something for kind of any kind of navigation and for an altoids 10 it's going to have to be a button compass so that's our next step all right now gotta have a lighting source and a lighter is nothing better than a lighter but before we put the lighter in here we need to wrap the lighter with some bank line for a cordage and we can wrap it on the lighter that way we have it always and we also have some fishing line as well so we're going to get those all wrapped up on here and uh we'll see in the next step i might as well show you how to wrap this lighter or any handle but basically take your bank line cut your desired length and here it's actually i got a pretty long pretty long piece here just so i know i have enough but make a loop you have one end longer than the other leave this a little bit longer so when you get to the end of it you're gonna you're gonna want to be able to grab it and pull it tight so actually we'll make it just a little bit longer there we go but basically when i make a loop and what i'm going to do is i'm going to take my longer end and i'm going to start going over the shorter end like that it'll work with me here that's just to get it started there we go okay get you on camera there i want to get it down a little farther though then we're just going to start going over like that there we go so we got started now and you just basically just keep going over wrapping around and i'll keep wrapping this and then i'll bring you guys back up here when to get to this point okay so now we're at the top here so next step is you can see if they're on cameras you want to take this i got the loop that we made and that's going to go through that loop like that and then you're just going to tie a knot just like a little just a knot just like an overhand knot nothing nothing fancy okay you got the knot made there so now what we're going to do is when i touch that short end we're going to take it you're going to see me pull it through so i just pulled it through down through there so you want to pull that tie it and then we're just going to tie off the end here with another knot just a little overhand knot nothing fancy and try to work that knot down to as close as you can to the bank line that way it stays nice and tight there firm there we go okay take our razor blade here and we'll just cut it off and that's how you do that now you got your bank line on your lighter and then what we can do next is we can we can wrap some fishing line around there as well so we got the fishing line on the lighter now and i got to redo that i must have cut my knot on accident on my bank line so next step is going to be oh and i will tell you that this fishing line was not forgiving trying to put that on it wasn't easy so keep that in mind if you ever do it uh third thing that we're gonna put on the slider and be done with is the thread for sewing and uh you just never know when you need something to sew on your clothing rips or anything so that's our next step okay so we got our sewing thread on there now before i forget our next step here before we put this in the thing is we're going to take we're going to do a sewing needle because you're not going to be able to sew without having a sewing needle so what i'm going to do is i'm going to fit this let's see we put it behind the bank line nope we'll just put it behind the fishing line there we go so i'm going to take that needle there and it's going to go right right there and so now we have the needle with thread and let's just take it even a step further and we're gonna need a fishing hook and that's gotta be for the fishing line so we'll go on the other side here i don't know if we're gonna be able to fit that in there find a spot to put it that way we don't get snap well if we put in that way might not well we can just hook it there for now that way it's not loose in here all right for our next step we're going to take a couple safety pins just need two safety pins are great a lot of multi uses for those we kind of had to reorganize a little bit so we'll put two in there our next step here is going to be some glow sticks once again this is for lighting and uh let's go ahead and throw about four of those in there and uh you just snap these and we'll we'll turn the lights off here a little bit we'll go we'll see the stuff works pretty good but there's the glow sticks i'll just put about four in there that'd be for lighting next up here the other way is if you guys remember my last overnighter we use the wire saw and uh with this being a basically an all survival kit with multi-uses not just strictly for camping or anything like that but for a lot of different just everything we're going to go ahead and put a wire saw in here and because yeah it's not great for making processing firewood but it's kind of a jack-of-all-trades you can do about a lot of different things so you can use it for different things so that that's my idea behind that so that's gonna go in there so far so good can i shut the lid i can't shut the lid yet so we gotta rearrange some stuff here okay i just i had to readjust all that i took out two of the lights and two of the candles so now we just have two kim lights and two candles next up gonna add is i want another fire source and i got two storm proof yuko matches that come with the striker as well that striker is going to fit just right up there i think i can fit those right there let's just make sure it still shuts okay so it's shutting just fine there's no uh no bulging because if it's bulging in all honesty then it's not made to go in this can i don't want that i want to fit just right like it was made for it and so the last thing i'm going to put in here and i think is going to be some gauze and we just need a little strip of some gauze you never know you get a cut you might need to filter some water possibly so you could put this over something if you find like a water bottle or something you could filter water with this as well but once again this has got a lot of multi uses too so this is gonna be our last step for the inside and then we're going to move on to what we're going to do on the outside gauze is in on top holding everything in now let's close it and let's just double check and make sure it's going to close without any kind of problems okay that is it that is all i'm gonna be able to fit in this can you see it's it's perfectly nicely even it's not bulging at the top there's no it's not overfilled that's it that's everything that's gonna go in this altoid see there's nothing much shaking so that's good solid now before we move on to what we're gonna do on the outside let's go ahead and open this up let's check out that golden dark tape let's see how good that works here we go oh look at that light too on that check that out so if it's night i'm like on stealth mission boom i can see you can see in there other you got mice my red light my camera but you know if you're out at night you see my thumb there yeah if you needed real low lighting you didn't want no one to see you you got some low lighting pretty cool well that works good all right let's try out the uh the one little or the led sticks the kim lights like finally here it's dark so you just break them shake it hey it's not bad either so you know if there's at nighttime i need to find something see my hand that lights up pretty good so cool yeah pretty neat that works too my next step here for the outside because we haven't put anything on the outside yet other than paint is we're going to use some duct tape orange duct tape type material and the idea and purpose behind this is for signaling and also for fire starter um if you got tears rips or you need to tape something up you got tape and we'll put a few layers just across the top of it or the bottom whichever one i decided to do but we'll put a few layers across it and that way we have tape for backup all right i went ahead and i put three pieces on the bottom so our next step our final step i believe we're at our final step [Applause] is we're going to take what do you think this is this is ranger they call it ranger bands but this is actually inner tube tire or yeah tire inner two however you want to say it rubber inner tube you can buy ranger bands but i mean the way i look at i had i had bicycle inner tube tire here and i just cut my little strips of it so basically we're going to take that and we're just going to let's give me a bigger piece here and we'll just put that around the outside of this that will hold everything together real nice get it on there there's one i just put i'll put i'll just put two on here let's put this wider one on here it's got more more coverage there we go that is the or my altoid survival tin we could really even take this thing even a step further and you can you know you can always put stuff under here too under your bands but uh i think that's good for now if i think of anything else i might we might come back and revisit this and make some other altoids before i forget this is the kind of kit you can keep in your car you could put you can store in your if you wear cargo pants or cargo shorts you could put this in your pocket and store it there you could throw this in your backpack or you could do what i'm gonna do with it this is my knife that i keep in my uh escape and evade pack that i have already ready to go but um this is what i keep i'll just put this thing it'll just go in my little pouch here that i have on my knife man i think the rubber is allowing me to push it in it's a little tight there we go it's going in now there it's a little tight there okay so i can keep that in there and that's what i'm gonna use for this this is gonna stay in there and that's gonna go my escape of eight pack but yeah you carry it on you carry it in your car um has a lot of other you know you could just wherever you're at it doesn't matter so if you got a bicycle you could put your little bicycle bag a lot of places you can store it so anyways so let me know what you guys think about this kit and um i hope you enjoyed the video might be a little long but i wanted to take you through the process and show you what i put in this and what i thought of and you know based on my idea of what i was thinking for survival in this situation and uh if i've missed anything or forgot anything that maybe a little more important to put in here just let me know in the comments section below and i enjoyed this video with you guys this morning it is so hot outside i'm probably not going out for the rest of
