So, a small update...

I smashed 4 large bandaids in a nautical almanac (VERY heavy books) and then crammed them in there. Given this match debate, I thought "Hey, sparklites are pretty reliable, not too affected by water, and don't need anything special" so I added another Tinderquick (total of 6). Then I put a turn of electrical tape around my clear iodine vial, someone was kind enough to point out that the tabs degrade in light (might scrouge up an amber vial one of these days) - do you think that'll take care of most of the light issues - it's also stored in a dark box.

I do have a question about the reliablility of Otterboxes. The extra stuff I added made an already tight fit quite a squeeze, but I was able to get the latch closed with a little bit of effort. Is there any record of those latches failing? The box seems nearly indestructable, but I just wanted to make sure that even at supermax capacity the box will maintain it's integrity (and stay waterproof). Thanks
