I am building this for uncles bday. He is a teacher & engineer. He is always golfing, shooting, canoeing, fishing and lives a few miles from work. He carries some decent gear everyday (when allowed). I just wanted to get this together for his bday, to say thanks for doing some machine work here & there and because I don't think he covers as much as he might possibly need in day to day travel. I allowed for extra space & items that could function other than everyday. Overall I wanted to give him a good kit to keep in the truck, take with him while outdoors (away from home) & maybe even use some items in his classroom where he can to spark interest of some that may not see things like this.
I know I will add some paracord(atleast 20 feet)...
Other than that what could I add as every day type item that isn't too bulky.
Ideas I'm looking into now are:
Flashlight(good run time on common batts. Like streamlight microstream)
