Measuring just 96mm x 62mm x 22mm and weighing 100g, it packs fire-starting tools, water purification, navigation aids, first aid, and fishing gear into a durable waterproof tin. Perfect for camping, hiking, bushcraft, and emergency preparedness, it offers versatile, reliable solutions to key survival challenges — all fitting in your pocket. ## Description Pocket-sized and packed with purpose. The Mini Survival Tin puts fire-starting, water purification, navigation, shelter-building and more right in your pocket — wherever the outdoors takes you. When the light fades and the temperature drops, being able to start a fire could make all the difference. The kit includes a fire starter and whistle unit, a candle, and a micro LED flashlight — giving you reliable options for warmth, cooking, and visibility when you need them most. Access to clean water is one of the most critical survival priorities. The kit includes a water carrier and ten water purification tablets to help make water safe to drink. A length of paracord — that most versatile of survival tools — is also included, ready to help you rig a shelter or tackle a wide range of other challenges in the field. Finding your way — or making sure rescuers can find you — is essential in any survival situation. The kit features a liquid-filled compass to keep you oriented, and a signal mirror to help attract attention from a distance. Together, these tools give you a solid foundation for navigation and signalling when it matters. The kit includes a compact fishing tin stocked with hooks, line, swivels, split shot weights, maggot lures, and more — so you can work towards sourcing food in the wild. For first aid, you'll find an alcohol swab, fabric surgical tape, a compressed towel, and a mini sewing kit, helping you manage minor injuries and stay in the field for longer.

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 on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 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) ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Quality stuff *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 18 September 2025* It is amazing how much of meaningful, quality stuff can be packed into such a small tin! This is a MUST have for anybody who hikes, travels, does bush-craft or finds him/herself in emergency survival situation. It contains a list of contents and clear explanation what things are for. Compass works fine. The tin is small enough, you can put it into the jacket or even trousers pocket. It is made of durable material. This little tin IS a real thing. Money well-spent. I do recommend. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Superb service and excellent kit as always from Polymath *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 8 April 2015* 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! ## Frequently Bought Together - Mini Survival Tin - Pocket-sized tin, loaded with an impressive amount of outdoor survival essentials.
