Gee, I uh...I dunno. Maybe there is more to it than I originally thought. You sound upset, and my intention was not to upset, but merely to share that I think the size of the vessel must be determined by its contents, (rosary or otherwise, I guess, as I'm not Catholic, or of any other religion, as I do not seek Christ in religion, but in Christ), not the other way around.
My survival kit is my belt kit, and nothing will separate me from that. It has a sheath knife with a sharpener in the sheath pouch, a canteen w/ cup with water tablets in the canteen pouch, and a belt pouch with the other items necessary to ensure survival is a distinct possibility. I chose the size of the pouch after I assembled all the items with a little extra room to keep things loose enough for ease of accessibility in an emergency.
My backpack is my expedition kit, and carries nothing essential to survival, unless geography specific items are necessary that won't fit in my belt pouch, such as extra water in the desert, or an axe in the north woods. Barring the last exception, my expedition kit (backpack) exists only to further my enjoyment of the outdoors, as all basic survival situations are covered by my belt kit (survival kit).
Bear...? DeMille..? I don't know these people. I'm only an Earthling.
