One of my CERT instructors said that it would be a good idea to carry some binoculars in our kits so that way we can find out what is those big nasty rail cars when we have a massive earthquake here in California. I decided to go with a small monocular instead. Can anyone recommend a pouch for me to attach to the MOLLE on my pack. I really don't want to drop a lot of money on this and I would not mind buying used gear. Thanks for your time.Picture of what I am working with.http://c0014369.r32.cf1.rackcdn.com/x2_d34bff7

What are the dimensions of this monocular?

[rancher1school]

3.5 inches long by 1 inch wide. I am thinking just a multi-tool pouch will work.

I actually just purchased this: http://www.opsgear.com/index/page/product/product_id/1604/category_id/186/category_chain/38,186/product_name/MAXPEDITION+MOLLE+Single+Sheath I think you'll have a lot of choices though, measurements-wise, it isn't very big and it won't protrude that much. It will come down to personal preference. I'd look at flashlight pouches as well since the measurements and shape are similar.

Thanks, I will give 10-8 Police Supply a call and ask them if the have any in stock. I am a real touchy feely guy. they are one of the few Maxpedtion dealers in the state.http://www.10-8gearo....com/index.cfm?

Totally agree depending on what I'm buying ie boots.  Usually, I try everything before I buy unless I know the store.  I got burned a while back with 4x pairs of 5.11 pants.  The one I tried on was great, so I ordered four pairs and ended up they didn't fit "right" when I got them.  The store went under shortly after so no returns or store credits etc.

What blows for me is the fact that I wear a size 14R in MIL-SPEC boots and it is drifting towards a size 14W, size 11 in British MIL-SPEC gloves, size XXL in Hatch gloves. Ya, I am ridiculously tall at 6 feet 5inch so I have to try it on before I buy it. that's the reason why I am taking an appeal manufacturing class in the fall.
