JVB:" Repair kits are of those things you resist packing but in the end always do. The only really good hiker-jones thing about that is the infrequent use, for the most part the repair bag can be archived away from the tired concscience of your aching back."

JVB sez, " This bag is big on purpose. For years I used a 5X7" bag and it was always stuffed. I would have to take out stuff first and then later put that stuff back to get at other stuff now. So I switched to a two bag system, the repair bag, and a huge 7.5" by 10" kit bag, and that works great. The large empty space above all the heavy stuff is perfect for daily essentials, such as TP and power bars, while the equipment listed above holds some real MacGuyver fierpower."
