2 carry options for the smaller SUMA tins by SOLKOA.
I was glad to see that the small SUMA tin just happened to fit in 2 of my favorite pouches the Molle compatible Kifaru GPS pouch was a snug fit but could still get a few key items in the top as well and can be belt worn using a Malice clip .
The neat freak neck pouch by Tareinco offered a neck carry platform or cargo pocket carry with more real estate space and could fit an aloksak Personal FAK in the hidden back compartment as well as the other gear in the main zippered compartment .
Ive not had the pleasure to see a large SUMA tin yet so cant say if they will fit in either of these pouch’s.

A few months ago I decided I wanted to carry my survival kit either on my belt or attached to my pack. However, I didn’t want a huge pouch, and a certain balance of organization was key.
After a bit of discouragement with my search results I came across TAREINCO’s Neck Neat Freak Pouch. The Neck NFP was incredibly close to what I was looking for in terms of design and organization, but was just a bit on the large side. I decided to contact TAREINCO CEO Mark Basa about the possibility of modify the Neck NFP, and he quickly responded that he was interested in the project. Within a few email exchanges we solidified the modifications and the order was placed.
Three weeks later my pouch arrived, and I was instantly impressed with the quality of the materials and the craftsmanship of the pouch. It’s made of 1000D Cordura, mil-spec textiles, and a YKK zipper. The stitching is all well aligned and properly reinforced. Every aspect of the pouch shows that Mark takes pride in every aspect of his USA made products.
Over the last week I’ve carried the pouch on a few outings and played with the organization of the contents. The first thing I noticed was the size, specifically the width, allows the pouch to be carried at any point on my belt. Whether in conjunction with my camera bag, carrying a knife in multiple configurations, or wearing a pack the pouch takes up very little space while keeping the kit at hand. It’s also just deep enough to keep all of the contents easily accessible and secure while not getting in the way while sitting down.
The layout of the pouch is ideal for my intended uses. My goal was to have my chosen survival items on hand, and just important they needed to be organized. The pouch is made up of three sections.
The first is a small sleeve on the front that is secured by hook and loop. I’ve chosen to keep this empty in case I need to add items to the kit on the go. Some possibilities would include a pen, extra batteries, or even collected tinder.
The main pocket is accessed through a 6 inch zipper located just above the first sleeve. This compartment is lined with orange ripstop nylon and is bisected by an elastic band that includes two loops. I use this elastic divider to separate large items in front and behind the strap with smaller pieces of kit held in place by the strap. At this time I keep first aid supplies and a few other thin items behind the divider, the first loop holds a small fishing kit, and the second holds purification tablets and minimal repair supplies.
Lastly, in front of the elastic divider is a signal mirror, a double bagged collection of wet tinders, 15 feet of bankline, surveyors tape, a small ferro rod, and a whistle. Behind this pocket the back sleeve is secured with hook and loop located along the top edge of the pouch. It’s perfectly fitted to carry a small mylar blanket.
Mark also sent me this photo before shipping the pouch to me that shows he also included grommets and 550 cord so the pouch can be carried around my neck if need be.
I’ll post a further review of the pouch after it gets some use on a few trips. Even though the pouch has minimal field time at this point I believe it will serve me well. I’d like to thank Mark Basa for making this pouch for me, and truly living up to TAREINCO’s motto of “Providing Effective Solutions”.

Perfect for carrying all those small EDC essentials or credit cards / cash as a small wallet in a pocket or by using a small MALICE clip on the rear to attach to a belt or any Molle platform

I have however replaced the CB zipper pull with a custom version from Andrew over at valleydeepmountainhigh which will still need to be shortened and have placed one of my Cyalume Cyflect and 3M orange Strip -lights on the loop panel .
Usual suspects also include TAD Geart Ranger hoodie , Kifaru claymore and cap , Lowa Urban GTX boots and HSGI taco .
