Another hair brained scheme. I'm sitting there looking at my BK-7 sheath and admiring that little pocket and the little survival kit I stuck in there and thinking, "I really Like a pouch on my sheath, but I hate nylon sheaths". Then it hit me, just add a pouch to the RC-6 sheath!
So a quick search of the house led to several possibilities. The best ones coming from a couple of little camera cases made for pocket cameras. They have a velcro belt clip on the back that lashes perfectly into the paracord threaded through the sheath eyelets and forming the belt loops.
Its probably a little bit thicker than prudence should allow. The sad lesson of a PSK. The bigger the pouch the more crap you try to stick in there. I'm still not fully done stuffing it with stuff either!
Wearing it isn't too bad although the set up will be improved when I can get my hands on that coveted drop down attachment! What I really love about this combo is I can simply reach down, grab the pouch and detach it one handed. This lets me open the contents without having to take the sheath off my belt. Also lets me stuff more crap in there than I need to (must have self discipline).
Contents:
Front part of the pouch, less water proof - Doan stick, trusty SAK, lypsol (for chapped lips, but also petroleum jelly for fire), insect repellant (okay not needed now), couple of ranger bands (just handy to have).
Main pouch - bandaids, mole skin, iondine package and alcohol wipe, gauze pad, 2 safety pins, imodium (err needed one its Cdn thanksgiving!), gravol (anti-nausea pill), antihistamines (allergy), water treatment tablets. Fire kit in ziplock bag (also used for water if needed): mini-bic, REI-storm proof matches in foil (foil for cooking/fire base), fatwood, jute twine (tinder & cordage), tinder fungus (chaga).
Things I'd like to stuff in there....Garbage bag for shelter, trail tape (signal), fish hooks, tooth floss (cordage/fishing line).
What else am I missing?
Who else is going to make one of these? If you do - lets see a pic!
