Continuing my series of notes on daily preparedness.

Inside the main compartment of my pack rides this roll-up pouch.

Obviously, it's a handy pouch for carrying pipe and tobacco. Though I don't smoke the pipe daily, I enjoy having it in my bag for the once or twice a week occasion that I might have some quiet time for a smoke.

More importantly, this pouch is my catch-all container for all the miscellaneous fire starting, repair, and first aid items I carry.

Lighter

Ferro rod

Fatwood

compass

Knife sharpening rod

Bandana

Needles and thread

Duct tape

Tweezers

QuikClot gauze

Ibuprofen and Benadryl

Square of scrap leather
