This is a small Survival Kit that was built around 10 years ago and kept in the car most of the time. The kit is small enough to fit in the door of the car / truck or in the trunk. I replaced this kit with a newer one. Many of the items in the kit are still very usable and a few items failed and should not be used in future kits without modification. This kit contained (from top to bottom): Liquid breath freshener, a condom, 3x Alcohol swabs, half a spoon (from an MRE), emory board (ripped in half), 3x Bandaids, watchband compass, metal tweezers, desiccant pack, small dice, Flint (boy scout brand), p-58 (can opener), Bic lighter, Magnesium bar w/ Flint, Small sewing kit, AAA mini-mag w/ 3x batteries, Hose container w/ mini glow sticks, Hose container w/ Razor blades (x-acto style), Cold Weather Chap Stick (military issue), fishing line, small USA Flag

We stopped by a local used hardware store the other day and picked up a few new (used) tools. We bought a heavy duty carabineer, a heavy duty safety clasp, a sturdy keychain, a few small prybars (made in the USA), a couple of awls and some strong all plastic clamps

A few of my bags had become dirty. They had mud, dirt and a few spills and sweat had made the nylon straps uncomfortable. I removed the water bladders and everything from the pockets and used a washing machine to clean the bags. The bags soaked in water and I watched cloasly so the straps did not get caught in the center post as it moved the bags around. Once the bags had gone through the complete cycle I hung them to dry outside on a line. I zipped all the pockets closed. It took just a few hours for these bags to dry in the Arizona sun with a slight breeze. The straps are back to like new condition and the stains and dirt are gone.
