First, the "Army Air Corps" ended with World War Two.  There is an Army Aviation Branch that was born in 1983--but that is a minor quibble.The survival tin idea has merit--but using one as a mini mess kit isn't a good idea.  A large 'tin' will hold half a cup of liquid.  If you want a cooking container and a survival kit, I recommend that you buy a cook pot that will hold at least a pint as your survival kit container--but then you can't stuff it into a pocket.  Better--a large piece of heavy aluminum foil that you can shape into a container that will hold about a pint of water and that you can put a lid on.I carried a survival kit in a BDU cargo pocket (leg) while on active duty in the US Army and had reason to use it once or twice--though it was because I was seperated from my gear in a situation that was less than life-threatening.The purpose of the tin is to hold everything in one place.  A plastic case will work as well, or a small nylon bag.  It depends on your kit.  Expect to be seperated from your survival tin if you are held captive by hostiles--and remember that the two most important parts of your survival kit are:MINDSETSKILLS, KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE
