Altoids tins & Pocket kits

[bltjr1951]

They are one of the best kept "little" secrets!

Yet, there are 100s of youtubes on them. One site had a contest making them, I had to give up cause of people's pics of items in tin. I had same number of items, yet I couldn't fit them into tin. I use a plastic fishing box for my mini PSK. And it's the last ditch item only, just like my Combat Survival Tin. I EDC a fanny pack with most of my PSK/FAK anyway.
BTW, I always list the F&S site when someone mentions altoids tin. Be sure and READ ALL 19 pages, it lists fanny packs too.

Anyone ever give any consideration to discreet and comfortable daily carry of a small PSK like these? I'd love to be able to wear a fanny pack to work - hell, I'd love a drop holster and a tactical vest full of gear too - but I doesn't really fit in well in a corporate setting, even if i do wear jeans every day and good luck trying to stop me.

My thought was to use a smart-phone belt holster - just about the right size to carry an Altoids tin loaded with goodies, and nobody would think twice about seeing it on your belt. Most of them have some sort of gaps that the PSK would be visible through, so you'd have to camo the tin - a little black paint would probably do. Only problem I see is having to wear two holsters - one for the PSK and one for your phone. A card-carrying geek (guilty!) might be able to get away with it, but you'll still look like a tool.

Any other ideas for discreet PSK carry?

If I had a white collar job, I'd wear a scottevest.

BTW, I should have said I carry a fanny pack, I don't wear it all the time, get in/out of car, on job, sits on desk.
I used to EDC a USGI carbine 30 round mag pouch. Before that, a M14 single mag pouch.

Hopefully people will find the time to share more pics of their kits with us.

I walk around everyday with 2 black pouches on my side, 1 for my phone and the other for my Leatherman. Never been called a tool before.

Sure, a Leatherman and a phone can be seen as normal, but 2 pouches that ostensibly contain cell phones puts you into serious geek mode.

And besides Rem, from what I've learned about you on the forum, not too may people are likely to call you anything but "Sir"

Have you thought about pollishing the inside of the lid so it could be used as a signal mirror ? How about wrapping it with duct tape ?

Just look at the F&S site, after awhile they all look alike. Same items, different pack foo. Wrapped in duct tape and paracord.
ZombieSquad site is over run with pics of them, some call em B.O.A.T.

Instead of Polishing, how about using one of the small mirrors that are in a Womans makeup compact? My wife goes thru about 2-3 a year. Inside is a small round mirror thats only held on with a little adhesive. Works good for soething like a time and is very lightweight
