Carrying valuables
I finally came up with a solution to the age-old question of what to
do with your valuables when traveling. It's a metal box. I had it made in Asia a few years ago. It was a motorcycle courier case with a hinged lid and a hasp. I had the metal shop guy move the hinge from the end to the side, and add rings for a shoulder strap. It's just the right size for carry-on and will fit under an airline seat. It's surprisingly light, although it really looks like a 3rd world tin box. It holds my camera, passport, extra money, journal, and a ridiculous variety of other stuff, including a light chain and hefty padlock. It's given me incredible peace of mind over the years. I can lock it to the furniture in my room, or to a tree at the beach. I can sleep peacefully on an Indian train without worrying about pickpockets. I'd like to see an upscale version of it, perhaps with a fabric cover, and softer, rounded corners. Any entrepreneur out there who wants to start up a sure-fire product? |

Hi Turby, I came across this item. Although it is probably smaller than you would like. There should definitely be a market for something like this. http://home.halden.net/jrh/box.htm cheers Michael Christoffersen |
