I just got this after asking around here for advice and ideas, and this is what I found on that auction site.
A Molle shoulder bag. It was 25 US$ including postage from Hong Kong. So we'll see how long it last. In my experience it's either years, or it will break next week.
But for now it looks fairly solid.
5172
The mesh side pocket with drawstring closing, easily holds my CamelBak pint sized drinks bottle. That should be enough for just a few hours out in the local woods as this is intended for. Besides I can refill from a creek any time. The water being perfectly drinkable :-)
5173
The main compartment is quite big. It holds my 1,2 litre tea/coffee pot nicely. Alas not much else. But I managed to squeze in my firekit and a wood cup with some teabags and sugar container as well. But I'll go and pick up a smaller kettle that holds just a cup or two. Should be plenty of room then. Gotta sneak in my lunch as well. That it closes with a drawstring leaves room for a few extra bits if pressed to bring some (diapers and wet wipes for the todler?)
5174
On the front there is a smaller compartment. I will try and leave this clear for picking up tinder and anything else I may find on my way. (yea, right) :ashamed:
5175
The opposite side from the bottle pocket I do not have any plan for. For now I have stuffed my hi-tech fire kit (matches, ligher, petroleum jellied cotton pads, ranger bands etc in there in a zip lock bag. But I don't feel that I need this. As all my knives have fire steels on the sheath. And I got my old-school fire kit in the main compartment. Sadly to big to fit here. Well, I could leave the bag and dry tinder and just go with the tin containing steel striker, quartz and charcloth...and keep that in there. But the concept if a leather tinder kit bag containing everything needed for a fire is to new and shiny for me to leave at home, he he
