Hi Everyone!

Lately, I have been taking great pleasure in making small emergency kits for my day hikes, and it also makes a great stocking stuffer for the holidays (hint)! Also, other than the tic-tac case and tweezers, most of the items you buy will come in multiples, which means you can make awesome gifts that won’t cost you much! One of the few downsides of this is that it is not waterproof, but the most important “dry” items I keep in small zip bags.

The total weight is approximately 3oz. – 85gr

Most of the items I’ve bought at dollar stores, Walmart and Amazon.com

You can buy a 200 mints tic-tac box at your local supermarket or they sell packs of 4 on Amazon.com – eat the mints or save them for later.. up to you!!

Some people also like to use Altoid boxes, but sometimes that can get rusty!

So what’s inside?
