Sardine Can Survival Kit Has Everything in It But Smelly, Oily Fish
Perfect for those early Lost-style situations, (if you can convince Homeland Security that you're not going to bum rush the cockpit once you get on the plane, that is) this survival kit-in-a-can has just about everything you need should you be stranded in the middle of nowhere. Airtight, waterproof and crushproof, and with 25 indispensable items from chewing gum to razor blade, fire starter, tea bag and fish hook and line, the kit floats in water. Measuring 4.25" x 3" x 9", the survival kit costs $12.99, and you can see everything it's got in the gallery below. [ThinkGeek]

Nice and compact with lots of stuff in there, for a decent price. I keep a survival kit in the car (those brutal northern winters) with a few other items (candle, paper and warm socks to name a few). This would be great in a backpack, tackle box or boat.

I like this one, but the fun is really in assembling your own "Oh Sh!t Kit"!
My wife and I have duplicate kits that are kept in our cars and reviewed once a year.
Our trusty Mini-Mag lights just got LED upgrades! :D

I like the post I think I saw on Make or Instructables using Altoid tins, not waterproof but more fun to create custom kits

Futureboy, the tea bag is actually a real thing in a survival kit.
Tea contains caffeine and if things are THAT bad a hot cup of tea might give you a minute to think about your situation and lift your spirits enough to implement your survival plan.
It's science.

Nighthawkz, candy gives you two hit points so you can find real food elsewhere.

Fantastic! I've been wanting to re-decorate the bombshelter for some time now.
Guess those Sean John radiations suits I saw the other day are a definite buy now, too.

I think most of those contents could be obtained for free, and most are already 'crush-proof'. (It wouldn't bother me if my tootsie roll was a bit flat). Just stick it in a zip-lock bag and *VOILA*, a waterproof kit. And if you really want to out-do yourself, just stick everything in a zip-lock bag, and then stuff that in an Altoids tin. There, you've just saved $13.

@strider_mt2k: Really? So when things are that bad, just boil up water (you do have a fire going, a tea pot, and water), make tea, and enjoy? How about a caffeine pill, if it's just about the stimulant aspect? Crap, or were you being sarcastic?
@salviati: I've done a lot of experimenting with zip-lock bags, and almost always when submerged and agitated, some water gets in (the amount varies from bag to bag -- bigger tend to have a better seal). I'd label zip-locks as water-resistant, the tin as waterproof, and thus far superior for paranoid types.

Double-crap, I didn't read Strider's comment correctly. I wish I had a Gizmodo survival kit -- Allow me to delete my retarded comments!

It seems like a can of sardines would also be very helpful in a survival situation. A lot of useful calories and sodium (as long as you have a supply of water). You could make sardine soup (YUM!?) and keep the can for a cup or something.
How long does a can of sardines keep before it goes bad?
The survival kit would be cool (and probably more useful) too.

If you're unable to make your own little kit, with better items, never leave the pavement.

I'd rather have something that I can close back up, thanks, I don't think I'd need all of those things at once.

Judging by the pictures, the only things this kit would be good for are low blood sugar and office emergencies.
Even then, it doesn't look like it has enough bandaids for the number of paper cuts I get in a day.
But I suppose if you're MacGyver...

Neat, but I wonder if stick matches would have been a better choice than paper matches. And didn't those old survival knives come with wire saws?
Either way, no survival kit is complete without a condom. Perhaps two, if what you want to survive is your camera while you do some underwater photography.

So, you're just supposed to trust that the stuff's inside? I mean, you can't open it to check. My luck, I'd get one and when it came time in a real emergency to use it, the thing would be empty.

I have almost every one of those things in my pants pockets at all times. Why wouldn't you? And they're all inherently waterproof (why would you have matches instead of a lighter?!).
