Pocket-Sized Explorer Kit (for the Not So Adventurous Adventurer)
Sup,
In this instructable I'm going to show you how to make a mini explorer kit from a few easy to find items.
Note: This 'ible does involve fire so don't be stupid and burn yourself.
Also note: THIS IS NOT A SURVIVAL KIT!!! ( there are too many of those on this site) XD
If you like this vote for it in the Pocket-Sized contest!
thanks,

Prepare the Stuff
Take your spoon and scoop out about half or a little less than half of a spoonful of jelly and place it in the baggie.
Then flatten the bag out and squish out all the air. It doesn't have to be super flat.
Fold the bag in half horizontally. Then vertically.
Now place the folded bag in the tin.
Look at pics for reference.

Usage
You can use this wonderful little kit to explore uncharted caves, forests and much more!
All you need to know is how to use a compass.
To use your mini torches(q-tips) first open up the bag of jelly and cover the q-tip's *ahem* I mean the mini torch's end in it and light it on fire.
It will burn for about 1 1/2 - 2 min. If you glob 'em up real good
Use these to destroy darkness in pitch black caves.
You can use the compass to see where you are going, and you can use the piece of paper and pencil to draw a map or write down your adventure notes.
If you want soak them in alcohol then petroleum jelly for added preformance.
Have Fun Exploring!
