Skipping over the too much information part, did you make this yourself? Or did you have it made?

I like the Witz cases: Witz Cases They're lightweight, pretty durable, waterproof, and with the clear ones, the contents are visible.

I do like plastic. Although I found 1 bag that I like ( ALOKSAK BAGS 4.5X7 IN / 11.43 X 17.78 CM) I place them in another nylon ripstop bag for protection. I wear mod. BDU's almost all the time and they fit perfect in the side pockets. They are always on me. My PSK is pretty extensive, but I grew up with "be prepared".

I have two different PSK for different applications. First, I have a PSK on steroids in a Paraclete GP Medium Pouch that I carry whenever I am in the field. It is carried either on my belt or the waist belt of my backpack. It works very well, and keeps all my survival stuff in one place so if for some reason I have to dump my pack I can grab this pouch and go. The contents of this pouch are merely for survival, and items I'd need under normal conditions (compass, matches, knife, etc) are duplicated. This pouch is great as long as you don't have breakables in the kit (which I avoid in my PSK), light durable and realitivly inexpensive. My second kit is smaller and simpler, carried in an 4.5"x 7" Aloksak with two smaller 2"x3"(?) organizing smaller items. THis apck can be carried in a BDU pocket or in a small camelback easilly and usually resides in my Bug-Out bag on the front seat of my truck. It is the kit I carry when trail running or mountain biking and my EDC kit. Thes bags are superlight, more durable than ziplocs but are somewhat easy to tear, yet they are pretty much dirt cheap! I choose not to use hard boxes for my smaller kits due to weight and bulk, however I do like pelican and otter boxes for sensitive and expensive gear, most of this stuff isn't survival gear but electornics I need to take to the field for other reasons. The cost in weight, bulk and money is worth it to protect expensive electronics and optics.

Dear Molf
I cannot for the LIFE OF ME find a non-survivalist reason to do this. Please explain any circumstance you had in mind.
Better yet - don't! <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I haven't found a container yet that I like. Its like searching for the perfect folding knife.. or for that matter the holy grail.
Right now I have 3 kits in the following containers:
Altoids Tin (pocket) Maxpedition M-2 (belt) Maxpedition Vulture-2 (back)
I'm not completely satified with any of them.

I prefer metal tins of various sizes. It should be heat-resistent so it can be used for cooking or making char-cloth, and conducting so it helps protect against EMP.

No, No, No! Um, nevermind. 1" diameter, but then that is irrelevant isn't it, tell me it is.

Brian, Sorry to bother you, but I've been thinking of a Maxpedition Fatboy Versipak. When I go out it's usually with the wife, and it look's like I could put together a decent All-Around Carry Kit, geared towards the two of us. Can I ask you where you got your's? Krell

There have been a couple of reviews of the Fatboy/Jumbo here, one of which was by me. Read through them before buying one. They are great packs, but not for every circumstance.
Best place I've found to buy Maxpedition products is ebay.
