Survival Item - Sewing Kit

A survival sewing kit is usually pretty small and contains only a few things. Instead of thread, I like to pack dental floss or fishing line in my kit because of the ability to use it for more than just sewing.

Fishing line is a lot stronger than thread and is a far better option when putting together a survival sewing kit. Your kit should be able to repair clothing, fix a ripped tent or tarp, mend backpacks and sleeping bags, and in an emergency can be used to stitch up a wound.

Other things that can be in your survival sewing kit:

  1. A few Buttons
  2. Various Size Needles
  3. Thimble to push needles through heavy tarps or animal hides
  4. Self cutting Grommets for tarps and tents
  5. Duct Tape
  6. Thick Rubber, plastic and canvas patches
  7. Small scissors
  8. Fishing Line
