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:
- A few Buttons
- Various Size Needles
- Thimble to push needles through heavy tarps or animal hides
- Self cutting Grommets for tarps and tents
- Duct Tape
- Thick Rubber, plastic and canvas patches
- Small scissors
- Fishing Line
