In Urban environments it’s nice to have access to certain things. Usually, I carry a PPM mask a surgical mask, hand sanitizer,and lotion in a carry bag. I wanted something smaller that could fit in my pocket or on a belt that could carry those items. I came up with a basic concept in CAD, then my cousin altered the idea and crafted this carry pouch.
