Agreed that a fanny pack is just about right for a separate emergency kit. Big enough not to compromise on necessities, but small enough that it's easy to have with you even when you're away from your main bag.

Although they're absurdly expensive, I've been looking into a small chest pack (HPG Snubby) to carry a firearm without interfering with the waist belt on the pack, and while in the hammock, but one version has a second compartment that seems like it would be useful for essentials without getting awkwardly chunky.

I dunno if it has a fanny pack mode where it can be attached to your belt or around your waist with it's own strap as an alternative to chest carry, but it would be nice to have that flexibility.
