I've tried to hate it since I got it, but now I'm smitten.

Stopped by the army surplus... got another 1 qt. canteen, a used cloth cover (w/ small external pocket), and three P-38 openers.

I use one of those mini Altoid Smalls tins to make an uber-small BOAT that tucks into the pocket of the canteen cover. I usually include a small fire steel, a third of a business card w/ duct tape, a jig-head (just the lead head and the hook), a P-38, a button compass, a roll of dental floss (unwaxed, multi-strand), and a couple of needles taped to the inside of the lid. It fits in the pocket with plenty of room for one of those 1/2-size bic lighters. A little redundancy goes a long way with such a small kit. Gave one away and wanted to build another to have around as a spare, hence the "What I bought lately" part of this post.

All in all a great gunshow was had by all!
