Here's a new Logic Blue 630d 50% recycled nylon Handy Little Thing 1 pouch
My first thought was that it will make a great work/tool bag for when I'm running trials on a production line, so that's what this first pack out shows. I'll give it a real world test in late December.
I'll also try out airplane back-of-seat-pocket and EDC miscellany packouts.
So far, I like the smaller swivel clips.
I really like how compact it is and how it fits in my hand when holding open like a book. My hand and thumb fit fine.
I chose a hardback notebook because I think that will be easier for writing whilst standing, etc.
This was the type of stuff I previously stuffed into a Small Ghost Whale (except for the notebook). I like that I can fit it all in the HLT1 with more space for extras plus fitting the notebook. It's not stuffed and I didn't even use the o-rings or the two small zip pockets behind the webbing.
Not stuffed full
Front pocket has the 8" key strap...
Mini roll duct tape; bottle opener & emergency whistle on clip; 10' tape measure; small Post-Its
Inside
What's inside
3 different rulers; safety cutter; mechanical pencil; micro screw driver; binder clip; hardback notebook 5 1/2 x 3 1/2
3 pens; 1 Sharpie; 1 eraser; 1 highlighter
The only problems I encountered were remembering which side was 'up' when loading (it helped to actually hold it with my hand through the loops to load) and this notebook has a built-in ribbon bookmark that I immediately caught in the main zipper. I would either completely cut out or trim the ribbon to prevent that in the future.
