Late to the party, but better late than never, right? Arrived via Stumbleupon, BTW.

Anyway, just wanted to add that it’s probably a sign of my age, but I recall such kits used to be made with an empty Marlboro reds or 100s hardpack. This would give you more room than an Altoids tin, I suspect.

Usually, though, the kits were more along the lines of a one-night-stand survival kit. Couple condoms, a mini tube o’ lube, a small comb and toothbrush (presumably there’s already toothpaste on site unless your one-nighter is totally disgusting), and a $20 bill for cab fare home for either you or your one-nighter.

I just can’t help but think how much drugs you could fit in that thing

Good job though, looks like fun.

I would put some water with a napkin and a small cut part of a straw to make spitballs.

If you need to show this to a police officer, good luck convincing him that all this isn’t heroin, opiates and opium.

Filling it with weed works too

my favorite things are the pokemon stickers and the beef jerkey, this brings me back to when my brother used to make r/c cars from altoids tins.

I would definitely have to include a photo of my children that is what ALWAYS keeps me sane.
