Mini Survival Tin - Pocket-sized tin, loaded with an impressive amount of outdoor survival essentials. UK-made.

It is amazing how much of meaningful, quality stuff can be packed into such a small tin! This is a MUST have for anybody who hikes, travels, does bush-craft or finds him/herself in emergency survival situation. It contains a list of contents and clear explanation what things are for. Compass works fine. The tin is small enough, you can put it into the jacket or even trousers pocket. It is made of durable material. This little tin IS a real thing. Money well-spent. I do recommend.

Purchased this for my Nephew, who is crazy about farming and the outdoors. He absolutley loved this tiny tin and all the surprising items it holds. Wonderful item for the outdoor adventurer. I recommend this product. 5 stars 🌟. Excellent website with additional information on keeping safe when outdoors and how to use the content of this tin safely. Delightful customber services. Recommended seller.

A good quality tin which packs a lot of content for the size. Ideal as a backup, I carry one in each of my work bags where I am limited on space. The snare wire was used within one day of the kit arrival to reach into a confined space and recover a key that had been dropped. I've added a square of duct tape to mine affixed inside the lid and on the base. I have also halved two tinder sticks from the polymath EDC kit and these sit comfortably within the tin ready to light with the enclosed firesteel. The small length of paracord is of good quality. Given this is genuine paracord it'll actually give 8m of cordage if you separate the strands. This itself also makes for fire tinder if needed. This is a small tin... It fits into the small change pocket or a pair of jeans. With so much packed into such a small item there is little to fault. All in - a great product for the price and rather useful day to day

Superb service as always from Polymath. Despite having seen the pictures and the dimensions, it still hadn't sunk in just how small this kit really is, probably because of the extensive range of items they have managed to pack in. All of the items are good quality: the liquid filled compass works perfectly and has no air bubble, the ferro rod produces plenty of hot sparks, the whistle is small but surprising loud, the paracord is woven into a short lanyard and all of the smaller items are tightly packed into a small poly bag. As with almost every kit, the included fish hooks are too big for fresh water (small hooks catch big or small fish, big hooks only catch big fish). They would be fine for salt water but this isn't a kit for survival at sea! That is my only criticism though and for a few pence the hooks are very easily replaced with smaller ones fixed to line. I bought 2 of these kits and the size makes it perfect for 1 to be an urban kit of emergency items that are carried but not used every day. In that I'll be taking out a few of the pieces (fishing kit, 1 coil of wire, paracord) and replacing them with a few others (small tube of emergency dental fill, some dental floss - also makes good cordage - small pencil and sheet of waterproof paper, etc.). I've extensively tested and used many different mini kits in tins and pouches during my nearly 50 years of outdoor activities, including 22 of military service. You have to accept them for what they are i.e. they don't 'enable' you to survive but they do provide a selection of small items that make it that little bit easier to make best use of your knowledge and skills for survival when you are so tired and cold and possibly injured and confused that the extra energy and effort required when relying on all natural materials e.g. weaving plants into cordage, or using a bow drill for fire making, can be almost too much. These kits from Polymath provide a sensible selection of good quality items for the purpose, in a very compact form. For those just starting to develop their skills, the included instruction sheet also provides a clear, easy to follow, guide. Well done Polymath!

Polymath Products have got this kit exactly right. It has everything you need in it, other than shelter and a knife and nothing you dont. I'm extremely impressed with the quality of the individual components. At £11.99 (as of 1st October 2021) this has to be the best buy on Amazon by some.distance. Big signal mirror. A combined whistle/ ferro rod. The whistle is LOUD. Seriously loud. A decent quality little coin torch that is properly bright. That's impressive, I have come across a large number of these torches that are pretty meh. Eight water purification tablets that have a long expiry date. The water carrier (unlubricated condom) is adequate to the job. A decent sized candle to help with fire lighting or illumination. That I like. It's surprising how much warmth a good candle can provide in a properly constructed shelter. A small, decent quality fishing kit. Not essential, but nice to have. Enough 550 cord to be useful. Button compass is accurate. Usual story, isn't intended for ultra fine navigation, but good enough to hold a line of bearing. The whole kit, tin included is extremely light weight. It's a shoo in for long distance hikers, even the ultra lightweight one's. This, a space blanket and a Swiss Army knife in your pockets/fanny pack/bag just in case.
