Micro (Altoid) tool box surprise

[50ft-trad]

Guilty as charged mate ... but only with pocket carry 
I've got a few in my rucksack - and yes I have needed one occasionally
Added to the list of stuff for the Micro EDC organiser pouch though  still building that set up - I'll have worn the bugger out before it's finished

I did a few tweaks and I'm much happier with the result. Here's the whole ensemble laid out




Leatherman Mini
Leatherman Micra
Victorinox Harvester
DX Fauxton
Mini Reel of 200lb breaking straing Kevlar cord
True Utility Telepen
True Utility Slimclips
Gerber Shard

Packed away in the right order there's hardly any rattle, yet the tin isn't strained in any way. The lid clips shut nicely and the ranger band makes sure it stays that way till I need to get in 




I appreciate there's no quick deployment options here, but the purpose of this is having the maximum options in the minimum package for when I'm away from car and backpack without losing too much function. The capabilities of this little toolbox are mammoth, yet the whole package isn't much bigger than my frequently carried gadget ring



... and while we're on the subject ...




Wenger Pocket Tool Chest
DX mini petrol lighter
True Utility Eyeglass
Uncle Bills Silver Grippers
4 Sevens Preon Revo
Inka Pen

Everything other than the light is detatchable for ease of use. Trying to fix my glasses for example with the whole bundle clattering about isnt fun. There were a few other little things I had hoped to include in the mix, but I discovered this lot fits very comfortably in my wallet alongside the usual cash and cards



Fisher Stowaway Pen
Whistle
12" Duck Tape (backed)
1Gb Flash Drive
True Utility Twistick
AG Russel Ultimate Penknife
Titanium Spike
Victorinox Classic
4X Fresnel Lens

I love little kits like this and value them as part of my day to day activities as much as I do a full sized multitool. These are winning combos in my book, and while the wallet and tin arrangements are fairly young, they have both been comfortably carried and have proved very handy indeed 

How do you keep all these stuff in your wallet !?!?!? 
I need some pics from inside you wallet to understand

The Fisher pen, Duck tape and fresnel lens drop into credit card pockets, and the rest fits neatly into a zippered coin pocket. When everything is in place there's not much to see, just the brassed clip on the pen, and it's still fairly flat and even

Anyone see the Leatherman gift tin that the Style PS comes in?  I'm not sure of the dimensions but it appears to be a bit deeper than an Altoids tin.  CountyComm also has quite a bit of odds and ends that you could put in a Altoids survival tin.  They sell this tape called Extreme Tape, that looks similar to electricians tape but only sticks to itself.  It's great for sealing a tin once you have the contents you want inside.  I don't think CountyComm ships overseas but I remember reading that there is a store that sells the same products in the UK?  I'm not positive on that though.

Can you post some pics of the inside side of wallet
Just to figure out how that works with you

If I take photos of them all in place, you'll not see much. I'll try to take some with the items sat on top of (or poking out of) the pocket they go in over the weekend

Here we go. Cards and personal items removed for obvious reasons ...



Told you there wasn't much to show 



Fresnel lens and duck tape poking out of their hidey holes



The rest sits in the coin pocket



Here's how they are arranged inside the pocket, keeping the wallet nice and flat

Do you carry your wallet in your front or back pocket?

Do you carry your wallet in your front or back pocket?

Wallet and light - front left - Gadget ring would go in same pocket if carried
Knives and tools and lighter (or tin) - front right
Only thing that tends to sit in back pocket is a Buff or hanky

[captain spaulding]

Yea I figured it would be in a front pocket as it looks like it might be a bit uncomfortable to sit on.

It's really not that bulky at all. I wouldn't sit on my wallet normally because I wouldnt want to break anything in it, and it's a lot easier for a wallet to be lost or "lifted" from a back pocket in my mind

So what is that yellow rubber band thingy, and where do I get one?

http://www.endtimesreport.com/survival_shop.html has a lot of CountyComm items and will ship internationally.
