Hello friends,
I have been working on my BK7 sheath trying to make it an all out survival kit. I found that an Altoids tin in the pouch on the sheath would not fit everything I wanted.
This is when I remembered that I had an old sling backpack that had a pouch on the sling. I had already cannibalized the backpack for buckles, and anything else I thought I might have a use for.
Cannibalized Sling Backpack:
The pouch that came on the backpack was like it was made for the BK7 sheath. Same color, perfect width and length, etc. Until I find a better method (hopefully from your suggestions,) I have attached the pouch using one piece of black 550. The 550 is thread through the sheath eyelets, then through the cross-piece of nylon that attached the pouch to the sling, then finally wrapped around the pouch and sheath. This method works well, and keeps the pouch in place when the pouch is filled, but when emptied, the pouch doesn't stay in place. Take a look at the pictures:
Front:
Back:
The Altoids Tin that I have in the BK7 sheath pouch includes First Aid materials, A small sewing kit, and fishing line (still working on the contents of the tin). My plan is to include everything else I may need in the pouch that I added. I don't own everything yet, so I have temporarily filled the pouch with the following:
Contents:
From Left to Right: Multi-Size Allen Wrench tool, Lansky Multi-Sharpener, a small container filled with mineral oil, flint and striker, Smiths PP1 Sharpener (probably going to leave out, hasn't worked well for me,) small Bic lighter, ~1 yard of Aluminum Foil, Duct tape.
The contents really are just what I have lying around. I am going to work on my Tin kit and the contents of this pouch as I pick up more stuff that I may need.
Thanks for looking
