water bottle

This clever kit puts all the survival gear you need for camping trips or — more hazardous yet, dorm life! — into a space that’s only 8 1/2 by 3 1/2 inches.

Survival Kit in a Water BottleThe water bottle comes stuffed with a nice selection of emergency essentials:

  • Whistle
  • Flashlight with AAA batteries
  • Emergency blanket
  • Rain poncho
  • Multi-purpose knife with blade, scissors, nail file, tweezers and toothpick
  • Waterproof matches
  • Nylon-pouch first-aid kit with bandages
  • Sting relief pad, antiseptic towelettes and zip-lock bag
  • 3″ carabiner

Not bad at all — safety and convenience, for under twenty bucks!
