Lifehacker does it again.

For anyone who happens to keep around dozens of empty Altoid tins, you know, just in case you wanted to make a cool enclosure for an MP3 player or say needed to make a headphone amp, here is something else that you can do with your favorite curiously strong treat.

Field and Stream offers a step by step guide for creating a do it yourself survival kit right inside of an Altoids can. Here are some of the things that you will find if you take a peek inside.

• Mini-Match magnesium fire starter
• 20 Potable Aqua water purification tablets
• 20mm AA liquid-filled button compass
• Commando Wire Saw
• and much, much more…

Minty fresh breath plus possible MacGyver like survival ability, what more could you ask for?
