In the seams along the bottom of the Altoids Tin, I tuck the Qtip, toothpicks, and paperclips. Now I press down the Larger band aid. Because of the paper bending at the corners, those tiny items fit quite well and are held in place. The Sunscreen and the two regular band aids fold and fit to one side - creating a deeper cavity on the other side of our survival kit. (Picture on the next step - but wait)

WHY? The reasons for the alcohol swabs, larger and small band aids is obvious. People ask why I don't trim the paper back or take it off. In a Survival setting I might use the paper as fire starter or writing.

Taking care of my health during an emergency is important, thus the toothpicks and dental floss. Both could double as fire starting materials in desperation.

The paper clips: animal snare makings, or trip wire holders so I can sleep in my defensible position without someone trying to harm me and steal my supplies. IF I'm smart enough to care supplies, I better be smart enough to defend them. Thus, I carry the knife blade which has many wonderful, positive benefits besides.
