The Mini Kit

If you have questions about these kits contact

A good friend of ours, Allen Jensen, reviewed a number of sources and offered up his version of a couple of nice little and very practical, miniature survival kits. The entire kit contents fit in mint tins or small plastic bags. For more information on survival kit construction take a look at our Woodsmaster Volume 3

Click HERE to see the  Becker contest with a variety of new kit designs and the results of the contest to win the Becker BK-7 Knife. The contest was to see who could make the best use of the pouch on the Knife sheath.

You can purchase the mini plastic bags and Ferrocerium firestarter (metal match) in our on-line store.
