3 Mini Survival Kit Myths … Debunked
Image source: sharonscrapbook blogspot
One of the most misunderstood parts of the survival world is the mini survival kit.
Such a kit includes the most essential items tightly stuffed into a plastic water bottle or a compact container (such as an Altoids tin), but many in the blogosphere or in chat rooms claim the kits are completely useless — while others say they have everything you would need to live off the land.
Let’s try to separate fact from myth. Here are three myths about mini survival kits:
1. MYTH: They’re for the Long Term
Not only does a miniature survival kit not contain all of the gear you would need for the long term, but many of the items present are not of the best quality, either. A miniature survival kit contains the basic items you’ll need for making a fire, for navigating, for signaling, for minor first aid, and in some versions of the kit, for fishing and purifying water as well. All of these items will come in handy, but this is still largely incomplete when it comes to long-term survival.

2. MYTH: They Can Replace a Complete Survival Kit
Alright, so a miniature survival kit isn’t meant for the long term.
