Practical Prepping Podcast

In episode #26 we discuss building small kits you can carry in your bug-out-bag, in your pocket, or in your purse.

These small kits can be built in empty medicine bottles, snap top containers, and even smokeless tobacco cans.

One man made small kits and shrink-wrapped six together to keep in his glove box. Anytime he was going any distance from the truck, he dropped it in his jacket pocket or bag.
