I keep the maglite in my Leatherman sheath, simply because there's room. Is the 4Sevens Preon ReVO about the same shape and size?

I was a BB addict and had to walk away from my cel. I do carry an old unactivated one, with SIM card, when I'm not with someone who has one. I'm just about ready to get another and sm deciding between a simple one or a Spot 2. Not having a cel phone is part of the cause of my over-prepping disease. wink

Me too. When it's colder, I put in a blaze orange wool beanie, along with wool socks, gloves and extra sweater.

Thank you! I suffer from arthritis and migrains so meds are crucial. Duh!

Thank you again! I'd love a combo but haven't heard of one before.
