hmm, caffeine tabs are a good idea for the late nights. I found plenty of 5 hour energy drinks but didn't find any caffein tabs, where do you typically find them? I tried two different grocery stores in the supplements and the diet/exercise/energy drink sections.

REI for one has glucose packets with caffeine. Probably any outlet catering to runners will have the same. i keep some in my car to avert drowsiness...

There are a few places on the www where you can get caffeine supplements.
VitaCost Caffeine Supplements
&
Amazon caffeine supplements
&
GNC

...are a few , I’me sure there are others. That’s not to say caffeine supplements are recommended, I’ll make no health recommendations. I get my caffeine the good old fashioned way ... and I grind my beans just before brewing smile

I found some at walgreens, stopped on the way home. I don't know why I couldn't find them at Kroger and Meijer.

I can't get into coffee. This will be a rare occasion, those nights we do get to go out late.

I've used both brass and stainless containers from these guys for years: http://www.sunshineproductsusa.com/ If money's no object, they also have titanium.

The CC Delrin Pico Pull is a good lightweight option. Titanium & stainless steel are nice, but heavier and depending on your favorite method of carry (neckwear?), a lighter weight option may be preferable; Delrin is a stable, black polymer, very lightweight. YMMV, so Ti, SS, polycarbonate are options too. The brass corrosion/patina thing may be a drawback.

Just to clarify, Delrin (polyoxymethylene) is actually white, but it does come in various colors including black.

I run a little piece of tape around the seam on mine, to prevent accidental opening.

In a pinch.... I take the checkout line Ibuprofen, Motrin, Tylenol... plastic cases and use them. It IS a bit big but a quick loop of cord secured and it is ready to go.
