Thanks, Schwert. Those look really good for what I have in mind. Waterproof and sturdy. Probably one of those would even be the perfect size. Unfortunately they do not publish the interior dimentions. Maybe I can contact the manufacturer for specs. Meanwhile, if anyone has any of these and you happen to know if it would fit a standard flashlight bulb (the common kind that come in most cheap 2D flashlights), the info would be much appreciated.

Thanks!

I have seen these as well and I want to get a couple for my PSK and key chain. I plan to use them to hold water pills or motrin or something. I think that about the only thing I could use them for is a pill case.

I have both the skinny and fat stainless ones in the first image.

The fat one will easily hold flashlight bulbs. It is 42mm tall, 20mm diameter outside with a wall thickness of about a half mm. So figure the ID is 19mm. I know you could put maybe 2 bulbs in here with some cotton for padding and tinder.

The skinny one is 50mm tall and 12mm outside diameter, again about 11mm ID. Probably not going to fit a bulb.

Here are the Bison short and skinny stainless together as fire and pill kits.

I thought US Dollars wouldn't fit either until I changed the way I was rolling them. You can fit 1 bill in the small bison by doing this:
1. Hold the bill so you can read it
2. fold it in half, right to left
3. fold that half of the dollar into thirds... right to left (so you have 3 flaps that fold up)
4. Now you have a sliver of a bill that you can still somewhat read... and the width is a bit smaller than the length of the bison capsule... now roll it up or down.. your preference...you'll have to do this pretty tightly. sometimes it takes me twice to do it
5. Amazingly, this is now just smaller than the bison capsule. Place it in the capsule going in the same direction as the capsule closes (it's easier as it doesn't catch the lid as you close it)...

Now you can have money in a small Bison capsule and nobody ever guesses you have an emergency $50 always with you... It's saved me several times in shopping emergencies... and I always immediately refill it! Have fun!
