I bought two recently. I am very pleased with the quality and especially the size of the tin. My current EDC is built in a Trangia mess tin with handle. For obvious reasons I am trying to refine my kit to fit in a BCB tin. Even if I have to use one for my FAK and the other for all else; two of them would carry more compactly than the one trangia. OK, OK, I also carry a separate FAK with the Trangia, Still trying to refine and rethink smaller. No photos yet. See recent thread re: BCB tins. Links to photos and comments from others.
The BCB's are not pocket sized, except in a winter coat pocket, but would carry nicely in a small bag of some kind.
Being a pack rat, I always have some kind of Man Bag with me.

Sorry, I thought others would provide picts since I personally don't have any. However; Here is one link... http://www.britishblades.com/forums/showthread.php?t=15543

Do a search on BCB going back "all Posts" to find other stuff.

thank for that link. I had seen it earlier, but had forgotten about it. I did search here, but didn't come up with any photos. My search-fu is weak.

I have tinkered with the contents of my survival tin, adding, coffee, gum, and an upgraded compass. Unpacked http://tinypic.com/es6iyb.jpg , Packed http://tinypic.com/es6kxe.jpg .
