Killing two birds...

I have a second Suunto Clipper compass on order. It comes with a velcro wrist band. I plan to pop the compass out of the plastic housing and put it inside my Altoids tin. It's a decent button compass, and has developed no bubbles after almost nine months of constant use (on my watchband).

I also plan to use the velcro wrist band to hold my tin closed. I had been using a wire tie (plastic ratchet thingy) like the Australian Mark III Survival Kit. I like being able to open the kit by sliding the wire tie off. I haven't sealed it because I'm still developing it.

I carry the tin unwrapped, with my cordage in bundles in the bottom of the shoulder bag in which I carry the tin.
