    I have heard of many people on this forum carrying a spy capsule or similar in their edc. There are obvious advantages of this. Crush proof, waterproof, lightweight, organisation, etc. etc. Having done some research into these, all of the capsules were not within my price range or not large enough. Then one day, I noticed an old film canister hanging around my house. I made a simple plan, then proceed to cram it wig everything I had ever wanted in a capsule. It’s perfect: lightweight, fairly large, very cheap, black (who doesn’t like black) and it fits comfortably on the right of my maxpedition micro. In the capsule:

    Complete loadout

    Lists of signalling conventions (morse, semaphore etc.

    [​IMG]
    Bundles of toothpicks (cut to size) and swan vestas

    [​IMG]
    Small sewing kit (stick of rolled up paper, stick a needle in it, wrap it in thread)

    Soon, I hope to add button compass to the underside of the lid, and a small fishing kit (hooks, and stronger thread/light)

    Fail to prepare, prepare to fail.

    A little learning is a dangerous thing;
    drink deep, or taste not the Pierian spring:
    there shallow draughts intoxicate the brain,
    and drinking largely sobers us again.
