Kickstarter’s Cache Belt for Travelers

Sometimes you just need to carry more things than will fit in your pockets.

Instead of investing in some cargo pants, the makers of the Cache Belt decided to build an improbable number of items into an elegant belt. It might look like it’s made to keep your trousers up, but in fact Cache Belt can fit dozens of small items inside its length.

Its makers are currently offering three configurations of the belt. The first is the “Minimalist” design, which packs in a hidden pocket, bottle opener, loops for storing gear and a bead chain.

The “Essentials” model has fishing gear, a whistle and a ferrocerium rod, among an extensive list of other items, while the “Adventure” model includes a water pre-filter, bandages and a signal mirror alongside other trail safety items.

If you have ever wanted to streamline your packing by utilizing previously wasted space, the Cache Belt is a good way to do so. It can be used to keep a hidden stash of cash if you are traveling in dangerous environments and could even save your life if you are out in the wilderness.

The belt smashed its funding target on Kickstarter and is expected to ship by early next year. Check out the campaign page for more details.

The Minimalist belt will retail for $30, compared to $75 for the Essentials and $115 for the Adventure. It could make a great Christmas gift as well.
