Project History & More Info:
I’ve had a chemical experiment I’ve wanted to demonstrate for awhile that could be used for hiking, biking or survival situations. The container I made, originally, was made of glass. I thought it was a neat idea, but when I told my dad about it, he suggested hikers would probably prefer something more lightweight. I think he was right.
When I saw the idea for joining two bottle caps together, I knew it was the perfect solution.
I modified the idea slightly by using a hotel key as a divider to create 2 separate compartments, and sealed everything together with a 2 part epoxy. Now two items can be stored inside without much risk of them mixing, or leaking.
The container weighs a mere 0.5 oz, unscrews from both ends, and is completely waterproof. I’ve been really happy with this quick and easy project, and already made 5 of them to store items in my emergency kit. You’ll see what I put inside mine in an upcoming project video 🙂
