Eagle Creek doesn't seem to carry anything remotely useful now for an NSK (Notebook Survival Kit). See "Cliff's Neat-o EDC Daytimer" (http://www.equipped.org/ubbthreads/showthreaded.php?Cat=&Board=campfire&Number=24735&fpart=&PHPSESSID=) thread for a refresher.

Not exactly the same, but may fit the bill.

We're heading in the right direction. I'm looking for a padfolio type of thing in which I could carry a first aid kit.

I've experimented a bit, and I can winnow down what I carry on my person, in terms of blade, light, and whistle, but decent first aid kits get a bit bulky.

Mead makes a line of binder covers that might work. They've got a bunch of little pockets inside and out.

They also make a pouch that fits into a three ring binder, about 10x5 and you can stuff a lot of stuff in one.

Any of the big box office supply chains should have them, along with most of your bigger department stores. I have a number of the binder covers that I've used for years, and they've held up to some pretty interesting use.

Alas, Eagle Creek seems to have dumped my iteration of the 'ol Travel Organizer for good. <img src="/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

My suggestion is to take a look at Duluth Trading Company. They're mostly geared toward the construction trades, but they have some pretty good binders, protfolios, and briefcases. I bought one of their "Fully-Evolved" briefcases several months ago, and am pretty satisfied with it - sturdy, holds lots of files and drawings, and has beocoup pockets for gadgets, etc. Even has a place for the 'ol NSK.

Hope this helps,

So I noticed. I looked at Eagle Creek and they were no help at all.

Duluth looks interesting, though.
