just trying to see if any other gear heads here would be interested in showing other members/sharing ideas what they regard as the best components of an altoid tin PSK.

It's not exactly an Altoids tin but here's mine. It used to be in an Altoids tin before I expanded.

Thanks- I see components from Doug Ritters PSK and possibly a BCB tin- I was thinking about ordering one of those and the pouch- nice set up.
I have the Ritter clear pouch PSK and have added several items- derma blade (heard too many horror stories about the loose scalpel blade puncturing packs/carriers). Also added bestglide fresnel lens card in the red pouch and a few extra sparklite tinders.

Yeah you pretty much nailed my setup. I bought a Ritter PSK and added things to it that I thought would be useful.

good picture of the pouch- I never knew that it had an additional front compartment- the NATO lifeboat matches are nice- but I dislike the striker that comes on top of the supplied round white container- seems like it wears out rather fast- takes a lot more practice to ignite them then you would think- but they reignite if blown out and produce a more intense sustained heat. thanks for sharing.

good point too many....by Altoids tin- I am refering to a popular breath mint container - Altoids- although any rectangular metal tin approx.4.5" x 3" x 1" will suffice.
