So you've got a nice sheath and you've attached a nice pouch to carry stuff. What are your pouch essentials for camping, bushcraft, survival. Share some pics, if you have some. I like to see what people are carrying.
 
my F1 w/ a maxped strobe pouch- enough to get me through a night or two if I were to be separated from my pack

w/o the pouch I've got ~ 15' of paracord and a LMF Army steel

All I have on my sheath ATM is a large, heavy needle duct-taped to it...about 10' of duct-tape.
 
AAA flashlight, fire steel, two water tablets and a ziploc baggy for water purification. (I prefer the ones sold for breast milk since they're designed to hold fluids.)
 
I would keep a small lights, a firesteel and possibly some dry tinder. Water purification would be a plus if there is no 'clean' water where you will be going. A small ceramic rod if there was room.
 
funny, in all my 50+ years of bumming around in the woods, I have never once, wanted, or felt I needed a sheath pouch. Guess I am stuck with just pockets. :D
 
Instead of outfitting every bush knife I own with a pouch ( been there, done that ; that's a lotta pouches:D ) I just carry a pistol clip cordura pouch with a DC-4, Eze-lap diamond rod, and a Swedish Firesteel in it whenever I grab a knife. If I want it on the knife sheath I'm using instead of elsewhere , 1 ft. of paracord will do it. :cool:
 
I have a busse b11 with a lost mountain iron works sheath with duel pockets it fits a lot of para cord and duct tape around the kydex liner in the top pocket I have 20 storm proof matches, a fishing kit, 3 chemical fuel tabs, 10 water tabs, a large sheet of aluminum foil, a small medium and large safety pin, various needles, 3 razor blades, an army light my fire steel with saw blade the lower pouch holds a emergency blanket, 10 fuel tabs 2 wedges, tweezers, 20 extra water tabs, signal mirror, magnifying glass, on the back of sheath I have a sharpening stone and on the bottom pin that keeps the liner in the sheath I have a compass and thermometer I may have left a few things out it sounds like a lot but there is still some room in both pouches
 
I don't have a pouch on my sheath but I do have a little camera pouch I wear on my belt beside it. Close enough!

It's just some basic stuff, containing:
- Lighter
- Tinder
- Purification Tabs
- Aluminum Foil
- Duct Tape
- Signalling Mirror
- Whistle
- Tweezers
- First Aid Kit

I will have this along with my knife / firesteel on me at all times in the woods. It packs down really small since most of the items are flat and credit card shaped, so I don't even notice it's there. Weighs next to nothing. It started off as me just wanting to have a first aid kit on me at all times, and expanded into a signalling kit as well, then a repair kit, then a fire kit, and now it's just general utility. Bandaids and tweezers are the most used items, followed by water tabs :)
