I'm playing with the idea of making mini survival kits for the teenage kids of some of my friends for Christmas. I'm thinking the kits will include:
ferro rod
tinder
Stormproof matches with striker
whistle
mini compass
small knife
strong string or cordage
mini first aid kit (band-aids (4), tripleantibiotic foil (1), alcohol swabs (2), Ibuprofen (6), imodium (6), benadryl (4))
small flashlight
Credit card size multitool
small case
I'm on a budget and I'll make between 8 to 10 kits. I'm trying get components of at least decent to good quality and as inexpensive for that quality as possible. I'm currently comparing some components and I have an idea of what I'll use for some of them. For example, I think i'll get plain ferro rods and make them a small handle with duck take, killing two birds with one stone. I would greatly appreciate ideas and specific components you would recommend. For example, what inexpensive but decent mini compass would you recommend?
