Following on from an earlier thread, I was contemplating building myself a small ‘urban survival kit’ – basically a small tin like an altoids or mint one I can hide in the bottom of my bag with a selection of basic backup and generally useful items to have in my typical urban environment. So I thought I would canvas for a few opinions and see what other people carry or feel would be useful.

Personally this is going to be a ‘backup’ for me most of the time – small replacements for main items in case they get lost or damaged and some ‘just in case’ items, but not intending to really be relying on any for regular use.
I figure many of you will have more specific survival kits (certain locations, or similar tins used for FAK or sewing kits for example) so feel free to post those too, it never hurts to get a few extra ideas.

What I was thinking of so far:
Small knife/multitool – Vic manager for a basic blade/toolset and a workable compact pen
Light – a Fenix AAA light or button cell of some form
A few small sheets of paper
A very basic FAK (basically some plasters and antiseptic wipes)
Whistle
Some local currency
A few paperclips and safety pins
Chapstick

Normally I have most of those items on me in a larger form – a bigger knife, a more useful FAK, full sized pen/paper, etc. But this should be small enough to hide in a bag un-noticed, and help out the day I do lose something, have my wallet stolen or hurt myself when I am not carrying a larger FAK.

So what would you guys add/remove? Any other thoughts?
