M3 is the basic platform for each member of my family's BOB. It can be carried by itself, put inside BOB rucksack or MOLLE'd to the outside of the packs. My only complaint is the hook that the zipper "handle" is attached to in not a full circle. Handles come off all the time. Been using these bags since given an issue one in 1990, and love them.

If you have Cheaper Than Dirt stuff you want "looked at" before you buy it PM me. I pass there 2 to 3 times a week OTW elsewhere. We use them for basic BOB (5) FAK (4) Shave Kits (3) and car tool bags (4). The vinyl lining is nice. If something leaks, it stays inside

Not really a fan of the M3,even though I have one stuffed under the backseat of my Explorer. Have you considered the EOD bag from CountyComm? It might be slim enough, has 3 pockets inside the bag. I'm not super fond of it either, but it's about the right size. Plus good quality construction, lots of MOLLE straps on the outside, and a rugged shoulder strap. If you decide to purchase one, don't get black, as items "disappear" into the black hole that is the inside of the bag. You might also want to take a look at the "Molle deployment bag." Available at many places, such as http://www.cheaperthandirt.com/MOLLE303-1.htmlHowever, it's a bit small too; there is a newer, slightly larger version available, but I can't find it currently.

The "slightly larger version" is the BIG FAK that is Home / TSHTF / goes on big 5th Wheel trailer trips. Great bag for the money. Looking at this bag from Eagle in tan to replace the FAK and BOB M3's. Dang expensive, but I might buy one to "duplicate" without legal infringement.
