Micro urban Essentials pouch?

I enjoyed this review of kit here:
But I try to be thrifty. Can anyone suggest a UK alternative pouch to the Maxpedition battery holster he suggests? There are many on Ebay but most of the £5 - 10 ones have to be bought from Shenzhen. No problem with China but if I don't like it returning would cost more than buying it.

If you don't like it then I am sure someone on here will take it off your hands for not much less than you paid

Look at Vipertec you may find one in a gun shop or airsoft place. TBH I make all my own zipped pouches so I've stopped looking but charity shops maybe an answer as after Xmas they will be full of quality wash bags.

Well this shotgun shell pouch seems similar (and also on Ebay much cheaper, but this seems like the link most likely to last for the benefit of archive) - perhaps remove the elastic? Or better still, keep one half of it for those parts of the contents that lend themselves.

Looks like the one Earthling EDC uses.

He gets them off temu, currently a fiver.

That's a really interesting video

I have now put together an EDC kit based very closely on that video, mostly containing things that I already owned.


I bought a small, stretchy zip pouch from an eBay seller in the UK -To be honest, it wasn't that much of a challenge!

The small power bank that I bought was a little too large for the pouch, but I will just make a protective pouch/sheath from an old inner tube.

My EDC kit inspired by thread has been really useful so far.

Sticking plasters, usb cables & power bank, painkillers, SAK scissors, pencil and paper.

All have been used when out and about.

The pouch really doesn't need too much over-thinking.
