Mountainsmith Basic Cube - 1600cu in - 2008 BCS

I have a number of the MS items and this cube is as solid as their other items. I keep two of the basic cubes in the trunk of my car in case I pick up items that need a sturdy, waterproof container to transfer items home. When not in use, they fold up to a very compact size. It's a "no-brainer" to have just in case

I have 6 of these (some purchased with modular haulers). They are great for getting things organized. I use them for summer and winter outdoor gear but they could be used for most anything. I use the red one for first aid and hydration items, the blue one for winter gear, the yellow for summer hiking clothes etc. When I want to go car camping I grab the first aid and cooking packs and what else I might need for the trip. When I go backpacking I pull all the items I need from the cubes and put them back when I get home. This makes the dreaded cleanup after a trip much easier. I also keep a table of contents in the pocket in the lid so at a glance I know what is in the cubes. Very durable flexible storage solution.
