Survival kits from the coffee cans is an excellent idea, and I would bet that you could use the shiny insides to reflect light for signaling.
For me, I store all kinds of things in them.
If it is rice, beans, etc, I add a couple of bay leaves and lay a sandwich bag on the top, then put on the lid..
The flat sandwich bag seems to add the bulk to seal the lid tight and keeps out anything wanting in.

That’s a great idea Granny. I read about the coffee can kits many years ago, don’t remember where. You can add whatever you think would be useful, but the main idea was having a way to make warm drinks and have extra snacks in case you were stranded in the snow. We’ve never had to use ours, but I always feel better knowing its there if anything happened.
