    DIY Up-armored Ziplock Waterproof Wallet

    You can fashion yourself a superb waterproof wallet out of a ziplock bag and black or camoflage duct tape. The ideal size is just large enough to accomodate a passport and more than spacious enough for unfolded dollar bills and coins.

    "I've used two wallets made from ordinary ziplock bags and layered duct tape that have endured for many years of use."

    Hardening Cards

    To make idea cards last longer, laminate them. To ensure they remain 3.5x2", cut their edges down by 1cm (1/8") to leave margin for laminate sealing.

    Check out this tutorial for customizing your cards appearance.

    Anti-Pickpocketing

    Pickpockets frequently target wallets, so some wallet owners attach them to their belts with small chains or place the wallet in an inside pocket which cannot be easily reached without the owner noticing. Another anti-pickpocket strategy is to replace the traditional leather wallet with one of the newer design thin wallets, effectively concealing the wallets location from would be pickpockets. Some travelers replace wallets with money belts, to further conceal and protect their belongings.

    Extras

    • USB Key

    your wallet is probably going to be one of your most overlooked pieces of kit. trust me, one does not immediately think of a Tactical wallet as an essential piece of kit, though it doesnt need to be tactical you should have a good wallet. i have a crappy one and i have had to Sew several rips and tears in it over the years. get one thats big enough to hold 5 or 6 buisness cards without loosing shape, another good thing to look for is a riveted hole for wallet chains, because the only thing that sucks more than a giant bulging wallet that mangles and drops your stuff is loosing that bulging wallet at a club or somthing because you didnt have it secured down well enough.

    I acquired a T.H.E. Wallet (Tactical Holds Everything Wallet) from specops. All I can really say is that if you're wondering what kind you want, do yourself a favor and look at this one before deciding. (Thanks sktfm for the suggestion).
