so if I had a pack I would end up taking it off and putting it somewhere to go chop and whatnot or gather firewood or something and take my pack off and lose it.

so I wanted to look at some smaller, that will fit the little gear I hope to be able to get.

Very good point!! I always have a big one in my car and house. I change them with the seasons as well. I don't have a small one in my pocket at all times. Probably should since it is easy to be separated from your car, house or base camp. I have to rethink a small pocket kit - especially one that is airline friendly.
