UK-made. : desertcart.co.uk: Sports & Outdoors Review: Compact, efficient and stocked survival kit - A fantastic small kit, gives all you need bar 1 item, I personally put in (which was a small razor blade for cutting) Review: Superb service and excellent kit as always from Polymath - 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! ## Features - Causes serious eye irritation. - Toxic to aquatic life with long lasting effects. - A lightweight survival kit in a compact hinged tin that is easy to carry, and will go everywhere with you.

The compass works well , as does all the kit in the tin. In my opinion for the price this is the best edc tin on the market. Hope this helps . **Q: Is there space for additions?** A: Yes, but strictly small items. You can overpack these kits, which rather defeats the point of the exercise. Personally I would stick to adding a few matches & a striker for same, and cramming cotton wool into any odd corner. **Q: is the glow stick reusable** A: Hi,No, it's a one-shot snap and shake glow stick providing between three and five hours of light.Best Regards,Luke BawdonPolymath Products **Q: What metal is the tin ?** A: Hi,The tins are made from lacquered steel, for long life and durability.Kind Regards,Luke BawdonPolymath Products ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Compact, efficient and stocked survival kit *by R***I on 14 April 2026* A fantastic small kit, gives all you need bar 1 item, I personally put in (which was a small razor blade for cutting) ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Superb service and excellent kit as always from Polymath *by D***C on 8 April 2015* Superb service as always from Polymath.

Well done Polymath! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Superb *by M***S on 22 August 2014* 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 ## Frequently Bought Together - Mini Survival Tin - Pocket-sized tin, loaded with an impressive amount of outdoor survival essentials.
