Disclaimer, I still have not seen the video... But it seems to me we do not need small plastic containers for ES gear unless it is for change, batteries, and band aids, but big containers...

Thanks for the contribution!

>:D

Gotta use bottle caps since 35mm film containers are nonexistant these days!

There's probably more medication bottles out there by a factor of 10.

I use small containers for various things, including foot powder and such.  I try to reduce size/bulk/weight whenever possible. 

I have spine issues, so I try to reduce everything.

Ahh, I see. Good idea. Myself I do not repackage but buy in the smallest size possible. It is a great idea, then.

Again Thank You for the posting.

I don't know if anoyone else has tried these, but I've used empty glucometer test strip containers for this purpose and they work out well.  You can reinforce the opening w/duct or electrical tape for extra waterproofing.

Interesting.  I was thinking about trying Gatorade bottles because they're nice and wide.
