I would suggest not carrying all three of your fire starters in one place. Maybe keep the flint on your person. I call mine the "Junk Drawer". Great video.

I don't really have a name for it. But sometimes, I call it a "go bag". I can grab it and go. I carry one. I don’t really have a name for it. But sometimes, I call it a “go bag”.

I also have chapstick and a larger fire kit with esbit fuel tabs in case all my wood is wet. As far as a tooth brush I like the new Wisp burshes it has the tooth pase in the brush and they only weigh a few grams. Do you carry extra batteries for your flashlight?

Saves on airfare to China plus you'll help to reduce and reuse. Just a thought! You might want to refill that toothpaste tube

Alcohol does not cause mutation of bacteria. Certain antibiotics and biocides do, but as of yet there is no evidence of bacterial strains developing immunity to alcohol. It would be very unlikely due to the way it works. @ledzeppie You’re wrong. Alcohol does not cause mutation of bacteria.

I have no name for it. I use one of the zippered Granite Gear silnylon bags - easier to dig around and find stuff. I consider hand sanitizer essential in the wilderness. Alcohol based hand sanitizer does not cause mutation of germs or lowering of the immune system - that's a myth. Instead of toothpaste I bring a small container of tooth powder. It works well and seems to have less environmental impact. My bag is very similar to yours. I have no name for it.
