Compact and Convenient: Credit Card-Sized Power
One of the standout features of survival cards is their incredibly compact size. Each card is designed to be the same size as a standard credit card, making it easy to slip into your wallet, pocket, or gear without adding any bulk. This means that you can carry essential survival tools with you at all times, ensuring you’re always prepared for the unexpected.
The Perfect Fit for Altoids Tin Survival Kits
If you’re a fan of Altoids tin survival kits, or pocket survival kits you’ll be pleased to know that survival cards fit perfectly inside a standard Altoids tin. These tins are a popular choice for DIY survival kits because they’re small, portable, and easy to customize. Survival cards are designed to fit neatly into these tins, and you can stack up to a dozen cards inside, depending on their thickness. This allows you to carry a comprehensive set of tools in one compact kit, perfect for everything from everyday challenges to emergency situations.
A Multitude of Functions: Endless Possibilities
One of the most impressive aspects of Grim Survival Cards is the sheer variety of functions they offer. We've created dozens of different survival cards, each loaded with dozens of unique tools, with hundreds of functions. In fact, collectively, we've made hundreds of different tools providing thousands of functions. From the simplest tasks to the most complex survival challenges, our cards are equipped to handle it all—so many, in fact, that we can’t even list them all! The versatility of these cards means three's a survival card for everyone helping you be equipped for almost any situation you could imagine.
Reusable Tools with the Innovative Tool Retention System
One of the most innovative features of Grim Survival Cards is the tool retention system. This system allows you to remove tools from the card and then reattach them after use, making the tools truly reusable. Unlike other systems that might use magnets or adhesives, Grim's tool retention system relies on a unique adhesion technique that is non-magnetic and non-adhesive. This means you don’t have to worry about demagnetizing your credit cards or dealing with a sticky mess. And if the retention system ever gets dirty, it’s easy to clean—just rinse with cool, clean water and let it air dry, or use a dot of Dawn dishwashing liquid if it gets oily.
Made in the USA: Quality You Can Trust
At Grim Workshop, we take pride in manufacturing our survival cards in the USA. This commitment to quality ensures that every card is crafted with precision and care, using only the best materials. When you carry a Grim Survival Card, you’re carrying a tool that’s been made to the highest standards, right here in the United States.
Stick to Flat Surfaces with Permanent Adhesive Backing
In addition to their compact size and reusability, Grim Survival Cards come with a permanent adhesive backing. This feature allows you to stick the cards to flat surfaces, such as the inside of your gear, a toolbox, or even your workspace, suddenly allowing you to use spaces you otherwise never could. This adhesive backing ensures that your tools are always within reach when you need them most. And because it’s a permanent adhesive, you don’t have to worry about the card coming loose over time.
Incredible Durability: Built to Last
Survival situations can be tough, but Grim Survival Cards are tougher. Each card is crafted from high-quality materials like stainless steel or high-carbon spring steel, which have been carefully selected for their strength and durability. Whether you’re using a knife blade, a saw, or a fire starter, you can trust that your survival card will hold up under pressure. These cards are built to withstand the rigors of everyday use and the harsh conditions you might face in an emergency.
