I removed the contents and placed them into a slightly larger "french mess tin". Not sure if the French diet or not, but it isnt much bigger than an altoids tin. I carry this in a neat little belt pouch, that has velcro & hangs off my belt. I will snap a few pics tonight. There is plenty of room inside the pack for a heatsheet, SAK, silva compass, and a bandana. I think I also have some 550 cord in there too.
I am not a huge fan of carrying things in pockets unless I absolutely have to. This little back slides or velcros right onto my belt, allows for a few more items, essentially making it into a 24 hour kit.
