Whenever we hear the term “survival” or “survival kit,” probably the first image that comes to mind is that of a large and heavy backpack filled to the brim with all sorts of accessories for making fire, setting up a shelter, providing heat and light or whatever one might need while being in the wild or in some sort of emergency situation.

The truth of the matter is that things could be pretty different, and the best example comes from IWantOneOfThose in the form of the Tool Logic Survival Credit, which offers users quite a few tools that could really come in handy when being in the wild and occupies a very small amount of space within the luggage.

Hence, this very special kit measures just around 8.6 x 5.5 x 0.5 cm and weighs less than 37 grams, which are pretty much the same dimensions and weight as an average credit card. Despite of its size, this thing actually packs quite a lot of useful tools, as you'll be able to see as follows.

So, the Survival Credit Card includes a tough razor sharp knife with a 4 cm blade that can be easily tied to a stick to make an improvised spear, a loud high pitched whistle, as well as a Magnesium Alloy Firestarter (just strike it with the knife to make the sparks fly). Furthermore, it includes a red LED torch, a pair of tweezers and a toothpick, if you happen to have some meat from that wild boar you've just hunted down left between your teeth.

The Tool Logic Survival Credit kit sells for around 30 UIS dollars, which, by all accounts, is a very affordable price point, especially given just how useful this thing could prove to be when lost in some hostile environment.
