In the front two exterior pockets, the sewing kit fits in on the left and the Knipex fits in the right.

It's basically a mini commonly used hardware and medication pouch. I use fishing line for sewing in situations where I need strong thread, and I have various size needles in there too. The Altoids Smalls tin has a few of my most commonly used medication for me and my family. The Rolaids are for my heartburn unfortunately.

10lbs of fishing line, all in that pocket? That's impressive ๐Ÿ˜‰

I'm pretty sure they mean 10lbs test fishing line.

Thanks bonehead...

This is like an episode of MacGyver

Literally came here to comment, "Are you guys going on some kind of MacGyver-style adventures that are wholly unnoticeable by the rest of us?" I suspect the answer is yes.

...Wait, you're not? How boring your life must be.

Every day can be an episode of MacGyver if you try hard enough.

I can hear the theme song now.

I have some of that stuff in my bike's pannier, but I don't know why I'd want it on my person. Today it's just keys, phone, wallet, a surgical mask, and a hand towel (Tokyo be sweaty and humid)

I actually just got back from buying an incredible hand towel in Tokyo. Never thought I'd carry a handkerchief but you're not lying it is WET here

What are some usecases for the mini-Knipex?
