@Dan_T, I don't want to be you if those Freezies burst in your pocket. Lol

That tube is pretty stout. I’m not worried. If it burst inside the pocket, I’d just get sticky mess that can be easily washed.

BTW I just tried one of them. It’s easily opened by biting & tearing the sealed end then suck the fluid out of the tube. It’s a slightly sweet water.

Yes, I know, lol. Freeze one and then try that
 
I just got a Light Monkey canister for my ACR Resqlink+. This is easily the most bulletproof, rock-solid can I've ever seen. Very impressed. Took me five minutes to adapt to clip on to a D-Ring. The clips that secure the lid to the canister are also super high quality. I'm aware of the cost but quality trumps price here. (I once had to spend two hours waiting for a boat to pick me 5 miles off the Florida coast in the middle of the night so $200 is really a non-issue). Problem solved for me. Thanks Light Monkey.

I know you thought a girl would never ask....but can you please send pics? The more the better. :wink:

Maybe thrown in a bit of duct tape rolled around a shortened pencil too.

How duct tape can help you survive almost anything http://flip.it/dqGDnS

So, the Light Monkey can I have came from @Wookie after he sold the Spree. Something I noted he did which was very cleaver was he threaded all of the can contents (PLB, Glow stick, whistle and dye marker) through a piece of line. He then took a wire post/terminal butt connector and crimped the loop of line to it. He then screwed the wire post connector to the bottom of the lid. Now all of the can contents are secured to the can lid.

That Wookie is not as dumb as he looks. :rofl3: I bet it was his wife's idea :D
 
Yes. Will post this week.

Is there a size or model number we could use to contact LM and order the same canister?
