I've been what I'll call a "kit freak" ever since I put together my first survival kit as a young boy scout. It's been great to read all of the good info in this forum, and I'd like to get your ideas on something I've run into. <br><br>In the past I've carried most of my items in nylon belt pouches of various sizes. One of the items I carried was a condom ever since I learned of its use as an emergency water container. But due to the motion of the items in the pouch and me constantly tinkering with and using the items, the little packet that a condom comes sealed in would abraid and wear through, possibly leading to failure of the item if I ever needed to use it. I stopped carrying them after a time rationalizing that I would always have my water bottle with me if I were in the woods (Mr. Murphy smiles). Lately I've been carrying a mini kit of my own creation much like the tobacco tin kits mentioned throughout these pages. I've enjoyed the tinkering and packing it full of stuff while constraining myself to the size of the tin so that I'd be more likely to always have it on me. But now I'm thinking of making a small (less than the size of the tin) leather pouch/sheath to wear along side my knife and carry some vital items in it.<br>I like the idea of having my kits be "working kits", that is, when I go camping or backpacking and need matches, I'd use the ones in my kit, and the compass in my kit, and ...<br>So my goal is to keep things compact/dense while still having the items readily accessible. Unpacking my delicately arranged tin kit to get some matches is just too inconvenient.<br><br>Anyway, all of this rambling finally brings me around to my question. I want to start carrying a condom again, and I'm looking for some type of durable container just big enough to contain it and protect it from damage in my "working kit."<br>I haven't been able to find anything that fits the bill yet.<br><br>By the way, I've been known to buy small things just for the container. It drives my wife nuts -- she just doesn't understand the compulsion :-)<br><br>Anybody have any ideas or thoughts to share?<br><br>
