All I can say is wow. Extremely well thought out, practical medium kit (as I call it). I'm stealing ideas as we speak.
The screw eyes - great idea.
I substituted a couple of pre-packaged insect-repellant wipes ( http://www.first-aid-product.com/industrial/insect-repellent-and-relief.htm )for my bottle of Cutters a while back. I like 'em quite a bit.

Cost fifty cents to use a pay phone around here these days, and it was as good as place as any to put them. Keeps them from rattling.

If it sounds silly but it works, it isn't silly. :P

Part of this reasoning was if I've got to cross a river and tow BOB or try to squirm through a small space and drag BOB on a line attached to my belt- if I've got to break away for some reason, I'm not SOL.

The time limit has to do with certain tactical requirements. Hopefully they never come to pass, heck I hope I never need to use BOB for anything other than camping, but no sense in not planning it out. Probably just paranoia, but....

I got the idea for screw eyes from someone else. Borrow away.

Keep in mind, this is a layer. BOB is a lot more than 10 pounds, mostly water and food and shelter.

The pick is becuase I have long hair, and I can't stand it being snarled. It drives me to distraction, like a wedgie or a t-shirt tag or an untied shoe lace. And my nervous habit is brushing my hair... And yes, that might explain why the hairline is going towards my spine. (Although I prefer the idea that my hair is really making a strategic retreat down my back, and is planning on regrouping and attacking, using the uninvolved parties of my chest hair as cover when they make their move against the premature grey in my beard. *grins* I admit it, I'm furry.)

Breast milk bags becuase they seal better. If I'm down to just the gear in the left side pouch (again, layers) I don't want to take extra chances.

And yes, it is very redundant for the fire lighting gear. I suck with a firebow, and I've been hypothermia and frost bitten enough times that while it isn't a phobia it's something I don't want to risk. I also have most of my fire making gear in the ditch kit, rather than BOB. BOB is extra, the ditch kit is the essentials.

If you can find a pay phone that actually works anymore...

Where I go camping, if I go over the backside of a mountain there is a small store that is closed in the winter, but thier payphone works. At least it hadn't been cherrybombed as of a month ago.

I keep 2 quarters in my outdoor PSK for the same reason. In my case, it's for the occasional ski lodge payphone.

you could also carry an old, charged cell phone-- they usually don't need to be on a contract to dial 911

I always carry my regular cell, but there is rarely any signal where I am at.

I've carried quarters in my outdoors kit for about 20 years now. With all the changes in technology, it may be time to remove them.
