Don,

HAHA don't get me wrong I would love to carry A Lot more but one must limit the space and weight or it becomes too much.

One note, I do not carry this on me at all times but is always within a few hundred yards at most in the car trunk.

The public has a problem with sheath knives on the belt.

I do carry some minimum stuff in my pockets as noted at the bottom of the list. Like I said this kit is to get me home, back to my full BOB kit.

I like the LED replacement module idea for the minimag.
I think I will keep the minimag for now because I have used the tika and other such lights and the durability is in question IMHO. The tikka and zipka are not waterproof and have flimsy plastic cases and I am hard on my gear. There are other LED headlamp options that are more durable like the Princton Tech Aurora, but it is too large and bulky for my fanny pack kit but I think I may get one for the full BOB.

I like the ace wrap idea but have no more room for it. I could however steal one from the FA kit in the trunk and stash it in my pocket if I have to grab the fanny pack and run.

I too love Dougs altoid tin SK. I am in the process of making one up identical for me and the wife. However, the only reason to have one is that it is with you ALL the time because of its size. I think Doug will admit that it is not designed for anything real serious but rather a stop gap measure with some basic tools for a limited time frame.
