Function Pocket
I totally believe that children should know all the ins and outs of surviving should disastrous situations progress from bad to worse. In view of this, I have tried to teach my children as much as I can. One of the important things I attempt to stress is to be prepared. To me having specific bug out bags and survival kits are of great value in teaching children about survival responsibilities.
A child's kit do not necessarily need to be huge nor backbreaking when it is carries but it should provide the child with a sense of achievement when he gathers his items together.
To achieve this goal I created a Pocket Survival Kit for children. This list of supplies is very similar to those found in the many Altoids can type kits. I wanted the kit to be practical, yet small enough for an 8 to 10 year old to handle comfortably. The question foremost in my mind was what to place in the kit and what I should leave out of it.
Traditionally these mini kits consist of only the most essential items necessary for outdoor survival and the enclosed supplies are the type which one simply finds impossible to fabricate in the wild, however they are found to be of absolute necessity. This kit is intended to be hand carried at all times and generally will complement the child's other survival necessities found in larger BOB's. This small kit would prove useful to him should he wander off on a hike in the woods or somewhere by himself and often times may be the difference between life and death.
This kit is intended to remain in his possession at all times while he is in the wild or during a Bug-out Situation. It is appropriate for all climates and environments.
To begin your survival kit you will need the following items:
A bottle or other plastic drink container
A small five function knife
Small cotton balls covered in Vaseline and wrapped neatly into a small baggie.
A Button Compass
Several Adhesive Bandages for use on small cuts.
A Razar Blade properly wrapped up for use in making fuzz sticks to start fires or for skinning creatures for food.
A small tube of Antibiotic ointment to prevent infection from cuts
Whistle that can be used for signaling for help. Usually 3 blasts of the whistle are recognized as a distress signal.
Waterproof matches
Safety pins for holding torn clothing together
Small LED flashlight
Plastic wrap to allow you to collect water
Small sheets of Aluminum foil which could be used for signaling or for cooking food
Tea bag to make your boiled water more palatable
Additional items that you may possibly consider are:
A package of instant soup mix.
"One a day" Vitamin
Salt packs
Water Purification tablets
A Small piece of flint
A Small Roll of Surgical Tape
Several packages of Tylenol or Advil
Several fish hooks and a length of 20 pound leader
Step by Step Instructions
- Wash the plastic container out well with soap and water.
- Place the objects you have decided upon into your plastic container.
- Any extra space can hold miscellaneous items that you would like to have with you.
- Usually wire would be placed around the tin or container to help keep everything in it and to let you know that the items that are suppose to be there are in fact there. If the wire is missing you should be suspect of the contents. Check them and replace the wire.
- Always place your larger items on the bottom and the smaller ones on top of them.
- Place a bead of duct tape around the edge of the lid to seal it properly.
- Glue a small mirror on the bottom of your plastic container for signally search aircraft.
Stress to your child that when they are out alone in the wilderness they should always carry this kit with them and above all never sit it down. Make sure they understand the dangers associated with using the razor blade and fish hooks as they can easily be cut or poked.
You spend time providing your child with the necessary training to keep them safe now give them the tools and sense of responsibility that comes with this training.

How long does it take before jeans will develop a pale pocket outline of a tobacco tin or wallet?
Just wanted to know if anybody has knowledge of how long it takes a pair of jeans to develop a pale outline surrounding a tobacco tin or wallet. I often see folks with these pale outlines on their jean pockets and just wondered if its a matter of weeks, months or even a year. It is also a function of how thick the wallet or tin is?
you would need to wear the jeans at least for 3 days a week and have a big wallet budging out for a bout 2 months i tried it as a science experiment in grammar school...Honorable mention
