I got a small pack at West Marine for $15 that holds my strobe and
rope. I might get a small phone or radio that should also fit. It has
loops that you either attach to a harness or, what I did, was buy some
webbing and a buckle and made my own fanny pack. cleaaver feature is
two lines inside to tie things to. Mesh sides drain well but 2nd pocket
that velcro's shut (for spare line) collects water and needs to be
drained after each use (turn upside down).
