MAXPEDITION Beefy Pocket Organizer, Compact, MOLLE-Compatible, 1000D Nylon Tactical Pouch, Everyday Carry Tool and Gear Storage for Outdoor, Tactical, Survival, 0266

I got this to make small tool kits for my cars. The bag itself is of very good quality. The stitching is done nicely. It holds a lot of tools. But, I found tools can slip free and push up against the edge of the fabric. I was afraid over time, this would lead to wear and then a tear in the fabric. So I wanted a way to have a liner to protect the fabric from being worn through. I found a little plastic pox that had radiused corners that matched the radius of the bags corners perfectly. The width was also a perfect fit. However it was a little too tall. So I cut a 10mm section out of the box and then used packing tape to hold it together. I did the same to the lid (that is why the lid is cut in half). You are probably thinking there is no way packing tape will hold that box together. You could not be more wrong. The lid has a lip the extends 3mm into the box. So when the is on, in combination with the packing tape, it is super solid. It has been 6 months and the box is holding up great. Now that I have a perfectly fitting box inside the bag, I can load it up with all kinds of sharp and pointed things without fear of the bag being damaged. Instead of going with a super organized tool layout, I went with the just stuff it in there layout. As such, I can fit much, much more in there then I would have imagined. But, the tools I use the most are on the inside cover for easy access. Everything else is in the box. Overall, I am super happy with this bag. In fact I wound up making three almost identical tool kits for my truck and two cars. It is that good.

This is the perfect EDC bag. I've been able to fit everything I imagined fitting into this bag; plus some. It's incredible versatile in the fact that it has a front hook and loop pocket, interior zipper pocket (with premium quality YKK zippers) as well as small, medium and large elastic loops for storage. It also features a 3x3 array of Molle loops on the backside of the pack. Incredible design and functionality out of this pack for a darn good value. Built quality is also superb- double stitching in certain high stress areas as well as again- YKK zippers throughout. I love the Hook and Loop panel on the front of the pack- allows for customization. I'm a big fan of having the dual zipper setup- really adds to the ease of use factor when you're out on an EDC adventure. Sometimes you can just pop open the top or bottom corner to quickly access what you're after without fully opening the pack. Overall, 11/10. Top.

So I stumbled on these pouches and seen guys using them for EDC packs with different items for a "Just In Case" scenario & figured I would buy one and put my own together to see what i could come up with. These little guys hold a ton of stuff if you pack it right with compact but usable things. I put together some pretty useful packs with what is to me, VERY usable stuff. for Example: One pack has a good quality writing pen, 4 in one pen style screwdriver, Leatherman Wave, Spyderco Endura, Blastmatch. Pocket Fresnal Lens, 2" pocket burning lens w/ buckskin cover, 3 pair nitril gloves, 2 packs WetFire, chapstick (doubles as firestarter if mixed with cotton / un-used tampon guts), nail clippers, tweezers, 4 band-aids, 2 to-go packs of Advil, antiseptic wipes, aspirin, antibiotic ointment (medi-first brand and 2 packs of each), Schrade survival pen, 4 folded paper towels, 8 sheets of small writing pad paper. 4 Famous Dave's to-go wet wipes, roll of electrical tape, 6 zip ties, 3 rubber bands, Coast HP1 AA flashlight, spare battery, 2- super absorbant tampons (can be used for the obvious as well as a bullet wound, wound dressing, and fire starter, dental floss (picked up from my last dentist visit), Coghlan's heavy duty plastic camping fork & spoon, Home depot carpenters pencil (can be shaved down and use wood shavings for fire tinder) wrapped in 3 layers of 550 para cord = about 20' ft which can also be used as fire tinder if chopped up finely. Coglan's 4 in one whistle/ magnifying glass / thermometer / compass, 1 pair cotton glove liners and lastly a to-go pack of Rolaids. Heck, I even put in the clump of cotton from a large bottle of Pepcid & stuffed in there for whatever use I might find for it. I know some of my items are redundant but in my opinion, its good to have more than one item that can do the same thing. More than one way to start a fire is good. I bought 3 more of these and will stock them similar to mine and give them to friends and family that can appreciate & understand the need to be prepared at all times. I think they will make great Birthday, or whatever-day gifts. These people can change out some of the stuff or add things they might find more useful to them and we can exchange ideas. But I think it will be a challenge to better one of my packs I assembled. No room for a pocket pistol but i will build a self defense pack out of one of these with some good stuff. It will be built around a S&W Shield 9mm, Spyderco Matriarch knife & Coast HP1 light.

I bought this to use as a container for a first aid kit. It holds an impressive amount of supplies. I have it stuffed to the gills and I could probably fit more stuff. There are loads of steri strips, band aids of various sizes, trauma shears, an Israeli style trauma bandage, 4x4's, 2x2's coban, ace wraps, rolled gauze, tick removal kit, a box with tylenol, anvil, Naprosyn, immodium, benadryl and tums. Medical tape, anti bacterial wipes, antibacterial ointment, anti itch cream, pen and paper etc. I put a carabiner through the handle and it hangs from the headrest support in my truck. These pouches would make great small tool kits, personal survival kits maybe even a make-up bag for the ladies. The material is heavy and stiff and the zippers are robust.

Ok, so, the first thing I can say about this "pocket organizer" is anything but pocket sized. I hope you don't plan on actually placing this in your pocket because, it won't fit; it's far to big. I would guess that this might fit into your cargo pockets on your pants. With that being said, I absolutely love this pack. I call it a pack because it is that big. I wanted a pack that would hold my phone and few other essentials while I travel. Now before you ask, "Why such a huge pack for a cell phone case?" I'll have to tell you that I own a Samsung Galaxy Mega. So, I wanted something that would hold my phone with the Otterbox case on it. Not only did it easily fit that phone but, it also holds my Norwegian Language pocket guide book easily. Actually, I fit a bunch of stuff in this thing.....my phone with Otterbox, language pocket guide book, size large Mechanix gloves, Spyderco Endura knife, FourSevens turbo 123x2 flashlight, and my Leatherman Wave in the nylon sheath. I know that I could fit way more stuff in this "little" pack but, what purpose would my backpack actually serve.....haha. I love the shear space inside this thing; plenty of room, interior pockets, key hook holder, a zippered pocket to separate things, etc. On the exterior you have your hook and loop field for patches, a grab handle at the top, Molle attachment on the back, and the black mesh on the front is another pocket. I have decided to actually use this as a travel document organizer. It is large enough to hold all of my stuff while flying; passport, wallet, checkbook, extra money, and boarding passes/plane tickets. I'll also be placing my language guide and cell phone in there and probably my digital camera. One point of advice: you will need to order the Maxpedition Tac-Ties separately from this item if you want to be able to utilize the Molle attchment capabilities. They do not come with this product.

I had a tough time finding this answer without actually buying one: Will a Kindle Fire HD 7" (with a flat case/stand) fit in this? YES!!!! [EDIT] Here's what currently fits in mine: Kindle Fire HD 7" (main compartment) Perixx folding BT keyboard (zippered pocket in main compartment) Anker aux. battery (inner zip along spine) Moto 1A 2-port USB mini charger (with Anker) 2 short USB cables (cover loops) 2 spare cell batteries (back cover loops) Plantronics Legend charging cable (cover loop) Two pens (cover loops) A Levenger Circline pad (inside cover slip pocket) Prescription reading glasses in case (main comp., on top of Kindle) LG HBS-700 headset (main compartment, on top of Kindle) It's a bit of a squeeze, set up for extreme mobile office/writing and phone mobile hotspotting This is a very, very lean setup --- there's not much room for anything else, so this would be more of a guy (or person with lots of pockets) setup. The construction of this pouch is typical Max Bombproof, but seems a bit more forgiving in structure. But ... Minuses: Elastic Loops The interior elastic loops are very, very TOUGH. If your stuff doesn't fit smoothly, the cover will be pulled and reduce the caacity. The large, "under-loops" are especially rigid --- and, as mentioned, the pouch isn't that rigid. If you use this with a Kindle the loops on the inside of the body will probably never get used. Handle I wish they'd put the handle strap across the top, instead of on the back. External Rings None. Be nice if it had some way of adding a light strap. Or keys. (There is an inner d-ring/strap, but nothing external except malice strpping.) Clamshell Setup The fixed edge of the cover has a really, really big seam. Nice and sturdy, but when folded closed it eats up space form a spine-mounted elastic loop. External Mesh Pocket Alot of their stuff has very snug external meshes, and this is no exception. If you load this thing to the gills, the external mesh pocket becomes almost decorative. CONCLUSION: This was a specifically-tasked purchase, as outlined above --- and in spite of (what I see as) some (fairly minor) shortcomings, I'm still very happy with this. It's the perfect minimalist waiting room pod, or quick-grab ultra-mini-office. Leave out the keyboard, you can stuff a paperback inside, too. I don't pretend to have structural solutions for each of my litle gripes; I'm sure an updated model will appear evenually, since the "Beefy" is an update, itself. I hope this review helps --- I searched all over for something like this that specified that it would fit a Kindle HD 7". This piece does exactly what I asked! PS Instead of a "tactical D-ring," I found that those failsafe aircraft cable keyrings are perfect ring additions on the back straps. PPS (See comments!) PPPS!!! If you're looking for this for a Fire HD7, consider this: The Maxpedition 3"x5" Hook & Loop zip pouch will hold a RAVpower router/hotspot/card reader/battery pack, a cable, a MicroSD cardholder, a MicroSD-SD-USB adaper, and a thumb drive --- and it will stick solidly to the hook patch on the Beefy, above. This works nicely to add infinite external memory to a tablet (or your phone) --- wirelessly. So you can stick it on, turn it on, have an SD and a USB running and linked to the tablet & phone, and just leave it in the 3x5. If this sounds "geeky," well ... anyway, you can hotspot your phone, tab, etc. simultaneously and pass web access through. I'm babbling about all of this because, if you're assembling a mega-mobile micro-office, this seems to be about as dense and micro as you can get!)

they really are worth the money

I bought this to throw in my bag and carry a few extra things I like to have handy. It has so much space I’m having an issue filling it up lol. It’s a great size to carry in a back pack or truck. Great design with tons of functionality and made with great material and zippers. It feels like it will provide enough protection to not damage what I’m carrying. The storage is perfect and has 2 pockets inside, with one that zips. I like it so much that I’m ordering a smaller one as well.
