A waterproof neck pouch with break-away lanyard!I posted my initial experience with this, but you guys were underwhelmed. But I've carried it more now, and I'm sold on it as a better choice (for me, at least) than the Altoids tin. Bathing suit, waders, wetsuit, pockets full of other junk, etc.... It just works for me. My muse spoke to me when I recently stepped off into a deep hole while trout fishing in waders (no pockets for the PSK,.. though I did have a vest on.. which I ditched). I always keep my neck with me..so I think I'll always have my EDC PSK attached.<br> It holds everything from a Doug-type mini-PSK, plus a mylar emergency sleeping bag. The (emptied) pouch holds water - - (so I really have a baggie within this pouch to hold the stuff!).<br><br>http://store.yahoo.com/cell-accessories/unwatpouc.html<br><br>So far, it is pretty sturdy, too. Since I'm wearing it under my shirt, it doesn't take too much punishment. Unfortunately, this one has pretty flowers and palm trees embossed on it.<br><br>

Naro: Glad to hear it's working for you. I looked at the site and read your earlier post, but couldn't get any idea of the size or fluid volume of the bag. Can you give me some idea of how big it is and how much water it would hold? -- Bear

Bear, the pouch itself holds at best 8-10 oz. of fluid, so it isn't a good primary choice for water. Useful space is around 3.5" by 7". How thick depends on your comfort level - I found it easy to over-do in my excitement to put everything I own in it. But it easily has room for a medium Reynolds Oven Bag, which is my current primary water carrier. I hang my whistle, Photon, and compass on the lanyard.
