Smaller Freak Insert Case

Looking to free up a little room in the gear bag? If you use the "Freak" Insert system, you can free up some space by getting rid of that bulky case.



You have a few different options available: Custom cases come to mind, but why spend more when you could use that cash for another day at the field?

Looked into cigar cases lately?
I first saw this at the field and immediately hopped online purchased one of my own. At the moment I am only using 3 different inserts so this worked perfect. If you don't have a local cigar store (or one that supplies similar cases), go online and look into them. I picked up a "Perfecto 3-cigar case" for around 5 bucks. If you use more inserts, there are others (8-cigar case etc).

You can see in the pictures below that the inserts slide into the case no problem. Though, they are a tad loose.

I solved this with some spare CamoForm which can be picked up cheap online or military surplus stores. It can be used repeatedly and it will only stick to itself. It won't leave residue on your inserts or anything else it touches. A perfect candidate for this use. Although, if you don't have any handy, you could wrap them in anything from a thin layer of paper-towels or similar. I just don't like my inserts bouncing around or making noise.

With the camoform in place, the inserts fit just right. I only had to do one wrap and they do not move at all. This takes up far less room in the gear bag than the SP/GOG case. If you have more inserts, just pick another or a larger one. Much more cost effective and a real space saver.
