Dollar Store survival kit
Yesterday, while at Dollar Tree, I was wondering if I could build a survival kit for $15 or less. This is what i came up with:
-square plastic cereal box
-utilty kitchen knife
-multi-tool
-bic lighter
-matches
-duct tape
-tea lights
-paracord with spool
-1 can of beef stew
-hand sanitizer
-safety pin set
-first aid kit.
I used the duct tape to improvise a sheath for the knife, make small pouches for the safety pins and matches with a piece of the striker, and to seal off the finished kit.
I chose the can of beef stew because it has the highest calorie content of any canned food I found, and the aluminum can was the only other metal container I could find, aside from a dog food bowl.
Hand sanitizer can be used to sterilize cuts and also acts as accelerant for a fire.
Safety pins can be used for fishing, and the multi tool contains a can opener for the stew.
I can provide pics once I get home. Does anyone else have similar "fun" budget builds?
