I'm not a fan of the backpack: it gets heavy, it gets in the way, it gets searched, and I can't justify the extra time and effort needed to carry it. I'm just not that organized, or responsible.
I'm also one of those damn yankees who believes that a fannypack would compromise his manliness.
I may not be the only person who feels this way, so I'm looking for ideas for carry options that are larger than the pocket organizer, but smaller than a Sitka-something-or-other.
It would be good to find something that clips to my belt or my pocket, for secure carry, but I don't want something big enough to have a shoulder strap.
If you've got ideas, post them, and some pictures of it in it's natural environment would be good, so we can all get an idea of size.

You get something too big and put it on your hip, you'll look just as stupid as if you had a fanny pack. Split that stuff up into different pockets, or get a bag. I'd re-purpose a belt pouch and modified the gear to fit it.

I kind of want this to be a resource for other people who are looking for something mid-size.
The debate that WillyD and Quix are having is the inspiration behind this thread: personal opinions about bags, packs, holsters and sheaths. The minimalist end is well covered, and it's pretty easy to find a backpack, but what about the stuff in the middle?

Short likes the Japanese fanny pack fetish.
