The contents of an Event Planners Tool Kit

There have been many articles written on what a wedding planner has in her emergency kit or what a bride should have in her wedding day kit, but there hasn’t been as many written on what an event planner has in their kit. Do they even have a kit? Of course they do. No self-respecting event planner or organiser would attend an event without their trusty tool kit.

Every planner is different and will have their own style, choice and brands that they use, but fundamentally most of us will have a very similar list. When I am organising an event I usually have my practical kit and my event bible. Today we are looking at the practical kit. Now it doesn’t have to be anything fancy, infact I would advise popping down to your local Bunnings and picking up one of the small workmans tool boxes and using that as they have plenty of compartments. Another good idea is to use one of the Scrap Booking tool boxes, they also have many handy compartments for storing the types of things I am about to suggest.

Now you need to try and think ahead of time and anticipate all the little things you might need when you are onsite at an event. To help I usually split my list up into categories; essentials, tools, admin & extras. Now remember the list below is not exhaustive one but it will certainly cover all your basic requirements:

Pens
Nurofen or Panadol
Highlighters
Blue Tac

what should i put in my survival kit?

these are the items i have in my kit right now
-waterproofed safety matches with striker
-sharpener blade
-cotton ball soaked in white petroleum jelly
-rolled up piece of a paper towel covered in candle wax (kind of like a candle but smaller and thinner)
-dental floss
-thread and needle
-Morse code written on a piece of paper
-paper, a very tiny eraser, and a pencil that has been cut down and trimmed to a very thin and very small version
-a thin piece of a soap bar
-1 square foot of aluminum foil
-3 small band-aids
-electrical tape
-Ziploc bag
-salt
-2 paper clips
-a sterilized blade
-4 rubber bands wrapped around the kit
i have also waterproofed the kit with electrical tape
remember all items have to fit in an excel mint tin
this is a mini EDC survival kit not an actual survival kit so no suggestions like firesteel or 550 paracord

Your kit kind of baffles me, why not an actual survival kit?. Every item should be aimed toward food, water, shelter, signaling and fire. I'd start off with an actual waterproof container, once electrical tape gets wet and dirty it`ll start peeling off- even if you use the ziploc bag instead.

Trade out those waterproof matches for quality strike anywhere matches, if your container is waterproof then you wont have any worries, plus theres no striker to lose or get wet. The waterproof matches burn for 3 seconds and are useless if the striker gets wet. The cottons balls are good but will make a mess of everything with the jelly. Whats a sharpener blade? Like a knife sharpener? I`d get rid of it- its s survival kit not a wilderness living kit. You want to be found and get out, not stay and live there forever. No need for the sharpener

Why bother making "paper towel candles" when birthday candles work great and are extremely small and light.

I`d also choose between the dental floss and the thread used for sewing. I`d stay with the dental floss and a needle, no need to have both thread and dental floss.The floss is much stronger.

I`d toss the soap no need to have it if you have a first aid kit in your pack or even 2 or 3 alcohol wipes in your survival kit. Not only will the wipes clean wounds but it catches a spark reallll well and stays lit for quite a while.

Foil is good. Toss the electrical tape and use duct tape. If you want it to narrower just pull the length of duct tape out and rip it down the middle. Paper clips ok but not necessary. A sterilized blade? Is it like a sealed scapel? Dont know why you need a sterilized blade, if you place a blade into a fire it becomes sterile, why have the extra packaging? A simple single edged razor blade is super light, small and light weight.

Some things I would add to the kit:
Tiny fish hooks and fishing line. (Small bait holders are enough to catch sunnies)
A small signal mirror(If you get the metal mirrors you can cut it down to the size you want)
Alcohol swabs.pads
Wire/Guitar strings ( The thinnest guitar strings are perfect for snares it already has the loop made and its super light and small- I always take my friends broken guitar strings)
They have tiny bic lighters- literally 1/2 the size of your thumb and they also have a magnesium stick and striker thats thinner than a pencil. matches run out- lighters and strikers last a heck of a lot longer and are way more reliable.

I wouldnt limit what you have based on your case/container I`d get the survival materials you need and then find the smallest case possible to hold them all. You dont want to run out of matches trying to light a fire in the rain and then not get a fire going because you couldnt fit a micro lighter or striker. You said no paracord but it is one of the most useful items. the 7 inner strands can be pulled and used individually and the thin lightweight cord can easily hold your weight and is one of the best ropes to use for a bow drill. Now with that said, I understand you cant fit it in you container but look at places that you can carry it- replace you shoe laces with paracord. Shoe laces are useless- they hold minimal weight, fray easily. You wont be without your boots so you`ll always have 2 good pieces of paracord with you. You can also daisy chain it and put it around the outside of your hat if you wear one.
