Arghh!! There MUST be one! For a while, I thought the camera bag was the best container... Until I tried using this medium Zip-Loc freezer bag with Easy Zipper... I placed everything in there, filling up the empty spaces by holding the bag with my left hand and strategically placing every item in the bag one by one, using my right hand... Flashlight, lighter, whistle with lanyard, slowing filling up all the space. Then, sucked up all the air, closed the zipper, and voila! A nice survival kit, no rattles, clean and pure... *pulls hair* ;-)

I am giving the medium Zip-Loc with Easy Zipper a try... I'll post pics tomorrow!

When it comes to survival kits, I think of four different container types :

1) Camera bag
2) Lock N' Lock container (plastic w/lid)
3) Zip-Locs freezer bags (with Easy Zipper of course)
4) Metal cylindrical container
