3 Days in the Wild Using an Altoids Tin Survival Kit to Survive

In spring in northern Pennsylvania, I headed into the woods for three days with no food or water, only a homemade Altoids tin survival kit. Using its small tools, I built a shelter, collected and purified water, made fire, and stayed warm with hot rocks through cold nights. With a tiny fishing kit and worms for bait, I caught trout from a nearby stream and cooked them over the fire for dinner.
