Make your own survival kit

My tip is - make it yourself! I just made it because of Cadets and cost me about 20p for the matches, the rest of it I had around the house. A sheath for matches, coat the matches in animal fat wax, water proof and a food source! My matches stored in a green tobacco tin and is always kept in my webbing by my side.

As a bonus, attach a fixed blade the length of your container because small blades are rubbish in the wilderness (unless if it is attached to a stick to form a spear!)
