It's been a while since the last survival tin review so me being a newb thought I would show mine although I like to refer to mine as a handy tin as it is more an EDC item!
I started with a BCB tin bought when camping in Wales years ago which has been altered significantly to suit my needs...
On the outside of the tin is 6X100mm strips of gaffa tape arranged so they are stuck staggered for ease of removal. Also I have 65 feet of B50 Dacron which is a bow string material rated at 30lbs break strain wound round the tin under the black tape. Enough for one long bow or two shorties if I ever need a bow string
Open here it all is packed in...

I did have a fishing kit but took it out to make room for more useful stuff.
Well I hope you like my handy kit, it travels with me 95% of the time and I use it a lot especially the meds. Any suggestions of what to add or remove welcome.
