I never had much luck playing with the Balloon/Condom container, even putting it in a sock.  You might want to try a plastic oven/cooking bag.  More volume, but easier.  Also maybe a calling card, and a list of phone numbers/emergency information.  I used some Coughlins Firestarters to dampen the rattle, basically parafin soaked cotton balls.  The only advantage is that there's a little less fuzz in the kit when you open it.  <br><br>Have fun.  I had a blast in scouting.
