Just Curious.
What is a packpack. I have a backpack, daypack, fanny pack but have never
heard of a packpack. Is it something new that attaches to one of the
other packs?

Ok, so i have a set of batteries in a vial, spares in my pocket, more in
the packpack. When do I move the batteries from my pocket to someplace and
now i have a pocket full of empty vials. This fear this will make my
pants
lumpy. How do you keep all the batteries in your pocket from rattling
around? Does it matter which batteries go into vial #2? and should I
color code the vials to match the different sets of batteries?
