poltr1 | The Coffee Can Emergency Kit.....

I had been thinking about making some of these kits for the Holiday Bazaar my UU Fellowship is having in early December as a fundraiser. But I would need some metal #10 coffee cans for this project, and permission from the man who originally posted this. (I used to work with him years ago, and have since lost contact with him.) But alas, the page on which I originally found this is no longer there.

I carry one of these kits in my car year-round. It has saved me several times, from giving the lighter to a fellow driver, to the duct tape for emergency repairs. So I will pass on the list of contents so that you can make one of these for yourself.
