Hi cedfire, happy New Year!

I carry this camera bag kit in a 40L Osprey snowshoeing backpack. I think my kit is too big to be carried on a belt as it was mainly designed for winter/backcountry/long hikes survival. I might be able to reduce it's size a little bit, but not much. Most of the items are 50 % survival (iodine tabs, survival blanket, whistle, hand warmer, fire steel, poncho), 50 % convenience (compass, flashlight, lighter, firestarter, tie-wraps, pencil).

I used to bring the slim shoulder strap on outings to carry the bag, but it ended up never being used. Maybe it could be used, to escape or run from something (for whatever reason)...

This brings me to think that a camera bag might not be the best option for my kit as it does not fit the backpack too well (it has this battery compartment bump).

I might end up ditching the camera bag in favor of a plastic container with a lid, or maybe even a Zip-Loc freezer bag? I like things to be cute and neat, so the Zip-Loc freezer bag is not a very attractive solution, but it's the lightest and simplest one, isn't it?
