Vacation in an Altoids tin

[One]

Here’s some stuff I came up with to go with my fire striker knives in a survival kit. The tweezers are work hardened mild steel, and the rest are spring tempered music wire.

Top to bottom,
Tweezers, poker, gig, spear and hooks.

Ti, Cool beans........

[BossDog]

even your fishhooks are neo tribal art...what size hammer do you use for those?

[Raymond Richard]

Maybe you could make a needle, add some thread, and a couple buttons. I'm really liking the gig and the spear.

[Eli Gautreaux]

That's very cool!

[Denny Eller]

Offset hooks even. What a great kit!

Thanks!

Tracy, I used a 2 pound hammer for most of it, but about a one pound jewelers planishing hammer would also be fine.

My birthday is coming up in Feb. And my hunting bag is never heavy enough. Great kit.
