I bought a few sets of zippered pouches at my local Home Depot store. They are located inside the tool department, near the tool belts.

Campmor may have some. REI should have some, but of course would be higher priced than Campmor.

What size are you looking for? I found these on the Campmor site for $8.

Eagle Creek's stuff is good. Here lately, I've been using flash card/usb cases for small items that I picked up at Walmart.

How big?

What about a zippered pencil case? (school supplies) You would probably find them for around $1.00.

I use the cases/pouches from Eagle Creek and Lewis & Clark, they can be color coded, see thru, etc. But they aren't cheap, on sale they still cost five-six bucks and up for bigger sizes. They are good for electronics, cords, toiletries, office supplies, and more.

At the other end of the spectrum, I use ziplock-type bags a lot, too. From the Target kind which are only good for one use or two, to the freezer bags from Glad and Ziplock, which can be quite tough and long lasting.

My girlfriend (for 3 more weeks, then she'll be my wife) uses nylon/canvas pencil cases for these kind of kits. I usually just toss stuff in the inner mesh pocket of my backpack, or when I really want to create some sort of kit I can easily transfer to another pack, I use a heavy duty ziplock bag. but I'm planning on switching to a few small pelican cases for my first aid kit and other items that can use a little extra protection...

If you got any of those Dollar Stores around, you'll be able to pick quite a few of those.

Enjoy!
