Someone mentioned Nite Ize belt organizers on the forum a while ago, so I went looking......

I really like what I see, though I haven't bought one yet. I think this is their largest belt organizer, but they have others, including 2 smaller models. Perhaps this belongs on the thread about layering survival equipment - EDC, bigger kit, BOB... but I was here and it seemed to apply.

My everyday and work garb does not lend itself to a lot of EDC. My BOB is too heavy for me to carry it far, (it's time to 'fess up, I'm a female) and in a "situation" would more likely supplement my car kit. I understand the person who said you are likely to leave a pouch behind, but if you know you are going into the jungle (forest, desert), or bugging out of home or office in an emergency, wouldn't a pouch be a logical carry? If you had to ditch the car and big kits, wouldn't a small, breakaway kit of essentials be a good thing?
