Cool setup! I like the idea with the toothbrush.  8)  Are those "anti-rattling-blankets" fixed to the tin?

I got a buch of those toothbrush/toothpaste thingies last summer at about 0,80 usd a piece. It does come handy. The anti-ratling-blankets are cut from that thin packaging sponge and glued to the tin.

Good idea! And when I think about it, my kits are definitively missing some duct tape. But I have to revise them anyway as soon as my broken finger has healed...  ;)

If you're happy with a cheap and ugly alternative, I've used sections of bicycle inner tube on previous tins. For the survival orientated kits, this provides fire lighters too which the silicone ranger bands don't offer (also worked quite well for attaching a Buck Hartsook to the outside of the tin)
