Introducing Mobile Mind’s compact and portable DIY and travel kit:

8-in-1 Pocket Reference & Essentials Pack™

This handy pocket-sized collection of tools was originally developed as a special thank you gift for our travel and adventure clients. But because of its usefulness and popularity we decided to make it available to the general public!

These tools can help you with everything from common tasks such as: sewing on a button, tightening a screw, or opening a can; to technical projects such as: construction, communications, or power generation; to critical survival situations such as: starting a fire, providing yourself with shelter, or even catching your next meal. And this kit is truly compact and portable.

It will easily fit in your pants or coat pocket, your backpack or glove compartment, or as part of your existing home emergency or preparation supplies.

Each 8-in-1 PREP™ DIY and travel kit is inspected and assembled by hand in the USA and includes all of the following tools:

Thomas Glover’s Pocket Ref

This exhaustive general-purpose pocket-sized reference book contains a wealth of knowledge. It is particularly useful when access to the Internet or other information resources is limited. This 4th edition of the book contains references, tables, and instructional guides on such varied subjects as automotive repair; carpentry and construction; chemistry and physics; computers; physical, chemical, and mathematical constants; electronics; money and measurement conversions; advanced first aid; glue, solvents, paints, and finishes; hardware; mine, mill, and aggregate; plumbing; zip codes; rope, cable, and knots; steel and metals; surveying and mapping; and various other topics.

Magnifier/fire starter

A flexible wallet-size Fresnel lens with up to 4x magnification is included to help you read the small print of the Pocket Ref. It can also be used to start fires on sunny days like most magnifying lenses. It includes a carrying sleeve.

Multitool card

This sturdy stainless-steel multipurpose wallet size card contains 11 different tools including a can opener, bottle opener, screwdriver, ruler, wrenches, and several others. It includes an information card and carrying sleeve.

Survival tool card

One of six different ultra-thin stainless-steel survival tool cards is included in this kit. Each card contains various saws, blades, sutures, needles, fish hooks, lures, trap buckles, or other tools. You simply snap the tools out of the card as you need them.

Compact thermal blanket

This lightweight and durable dual-sided aluminized Mylar sheet is designed to retain up to 90% of your body heat when used as a blanket. It can also be used as a shelter, ground cover, emergency signal, water collector, solar oven, and much more.

Sewing kit

A miniature sewing kit is included containing buttons, a safety pin, a needle, and six different colors of cotton thread in 1-meter lengths for use in clothing and gear repair. These items can also be used for minor suturing or even catching small fish or setting small traps.

Oil-free compass

This small air-dampened compass features an ultra-low friction bearing and a highly magnetized needle. Regular oil and liquid-filled compasses can leak or fill with air bubbles over time, rendering them useless. Each compass is checked for accuracy and reliability.

Heavy duty pouch

All of these tools are packed in a strong, zippered, 6-mil thick poly bag that can also serve as a water collector and carrier, or be used to protect other pieces of your gear from the elements.

(NOTE: There may be occasional minor color or size changes in the kit contents.)
