Cross-over has always interested me. Solutions from one sphere of activity can often cross-over into entirely unrelated areas.
For example, I read recently about someone who uses a container for welding rods to store his flares. That's an excellent cross-over solution, although I think I have found a cheaper and possibly better one for flares - see below.
First, back to boxes. A Pelicase big enough for a compact camera costs £10.50. The above case cost £2.99 from Lakeland Plastics. Obviously it's not as strong, but it is just as waterproof.

Now the bags. The PackMate Outdoor Sport Roll bags are proving to be a simple, reliable way to store parachute flares in the kayak cockpit. I've written about these bags before.

So there we are. Plastic boxes and bags. If I'm a sad person for writing about such things, remember who read it...
