These days, I rarely find myself outdoors, unless it is to walk the twenty meters from my house to my car. I have not found my way into the countryside for a very long time and when I do get out into the mountains, I am on a path. A survival kit, in a can or otherwise, is of zero use to me. As a kid I used to love survival kits, I had a good one and it gave me hours of endless entertainment. Putting it in a can takes away all that possibility of enjoyment; what a terrible idea.

The twenty-five items that it is packed with include:

A non-aspirin pain reliever, adhesive bandage, alcohol prep pad, antibiotic ointment, book of matches, compass, chewing gum, sugar, salt, energy nugget, duct tape, fire starter cube, first aid instructions, fish hook and line, note paper, pencil, razor blade, safety pin, reflective signal surface, tea bag, waterproof bag, whistle, and wire clip.

A tea bag, don’t they know that geeks survive on coffee? I can live for six and three quarter days on a bag of Starbucks Italian Roast, that is all the survival kit I need.
