What is the ideal possible pouch

[Chainsaw]

"...This is what i use i find it an ideal size for what i want.

Paul Kirtley uses on of those for both his first aid and survival kits. For some folk a possible pouch is a survival kit, for others it is a handy place to store those items things that they may possibly find a use for.

The contents of Paul's pouches are described here and here.

That's what I use too. I don't need anything bigger than that.

This is my possibles pouch. Made by Mark at MJ Bushcraft leather, although mine has a diffrent torch holder as i use a Surefire G2L, Blinding pouch and workmanship at a good price and holds my leatherman new wave multitool, firesteel, torch, whistle etc a treat.

www.bushcraftleather.co.uk have a look

Do you have that giant snake taking over the British isles on your underpants too?

 

[johnboy]

I have one of NZ Forest Service pattern canvas pouches as well but devoid of the RM branding or giant snakes...

They are a hand size for stuff...

Trouser snakes are one thing, but that takes the biscuit!

Found this one on a army surplus website. Never thought about what to do with the d-ring - seems to hang quite well from a karabiner on my belt but flaps about quite a bit

i vary between a solid wet formed pouch made by G4GHB for me and a two levelled softer leather that i bought through tamarack outdoors
i had a sporron one like dread heads but used in an exchange for a knife which in hindsight i regret doing a little.

off topic i like the idea of a specifically recognisable design/pattern on kit especially when a lot of the kit is the same as used by many many people saves on confusion.

Ian atkinson, has started a thread on BB, about what would be the ideal possible pouch, and has got me thinking, i also had this very conversation at the north wood meet with a few members, last week end, with martyn(k9) and a few others, he has a possible pouch wich i find is about the perfect size.
so would love to hear you opinions on this, as I'm finding it fascinating.
take care.

I'm more than happy with the one you made me not so long ago, have been using it without a baccy tin too and its just right for a few bits and bobs.

I bet they have that problem in the army.

Could you unstitch it, invert it and restitch it so that the loop hangs from beneath? Maybe that would be more useful.

I use an Ozhaggishead pattern Sporran - the original one I made along the lines of the ones I sell
Such a great design - holds masses but never seems too bulky!

thats why most the army surplus has names written on them in black permenant marker i reckon
a friend of mine had the same pack as mine and we were always going to the wrong one for bits of kit until i sewed a patch on it

 

[Totumpole]

Think I get what you mean - the reason it flaps about a bit is because it is a single d-ring in the middle, so no matter where you position it it will still flap about. And if the loop goes lower it would defeat the purpose of hanging from the loop (ie that is it hanging lower than the waist support of a pack).
However, I had a brainwave the other night...... On filling it with useful kit I didn't have much space left for a good length of emergency para cord. I took a spare length I had kicking around and put it through the belt loops of the pouch and tied round my waste - stops the flapping about and solves the storage issue for a bit of emergency cordage!
