I really enjoy making these small survival sets wrapped in a Monkey`s Fist knot: I think they are decorative and a bit unusual and they are great time-killers when I am out on the sea.
The concept never changes: Take a sturdy, round plastic container and fill it with some goodies for when the times get hard.
 |
| Here the finished Survival ball/monkey`s fist. |
 |
The sets container is a "boon ball": It is originally made for baby food and is nearly indestructible and made out of food-grade plastic. |
 |
What goes in: A mini BIC lighter (wrapped in 3-4 m of duct tape) and 4 tampons for water filtration. |
 |
For a little light: glow sticks for fishing, they do not very bright but they`ll do in an emergency. |
 |
Rolly toothbrushes, you roll them in your mouth with the tongue to clean your teeth. |
 |
| Caffeine & glucose boosters. |
 |
| 4 x 500 mg paracetamol |
 |
| Fishing line and hooks. |
 |
| Freezer bags for water transportation. |
 |
Razor blade and magnet, I need those to |
 |
Mini ferrocerium rod (flint striker) and a more sturdy blade as scratcher & emergency knife |
 |
| All is fitted in, now...lets build a nice cage for it... |
 |
| ...because... |
 |
| ...to make make a 15 strand monkey`s fist... |
 |
| ...without a bit of help.... |
 |
| ...is just painful. |
 |
| VOILA! |
