Since there are so many Palican and Storm users here, I am curious to know what everyone is using their cases for. What do you put in your Pelican?

Man, I just looked at the Storm cases. If those aren't wannabe Pelicans I don't know what is.

So he admits he was talking about something he had not even looked at. But that's OK because he buys them for the look, nothing wrong with that.

In my case, I like the look and pedigree of the Pelicans over the Storm cases.

While looking for lid organizers I noticed this on the Storm Case site.

Mike Rupp, Since I know nothing about plastics and would probably believe what they tell me I noticed this on one of their pages, apparently they are willing to talk... if they don't answer your email.

Bastard. I didn't want my pelican hoarding broadcast to the world.

P.S. - Not pictured is my orange medical case and a laptop case.

Since it was asked, here is how i mostly use them for. Depending on the trips or what I am doing, some of the duties change here and there with the med - larger ones.

You need some pelican micro cases. They are great for lithium batteries, pencils and pens, and the best damn cigar case for traveling made. I lined a pelican micro with cedar and when I'm on the road I fill it up with cigars from the humidor, throw in one of those humidifying cards and they are good for as long as I need without getting trashed or dried out. Nice stash of cases by the way!

Cheers,

Mike

Another vote for the Pelican cases here. I use them for everything imaginable that one could take on a trip, and I have absolutely no complaints. As stated before, they also have possibly the best customer service and warranty of any company I have dealt with.

But if you don't have genuine Pelican cases - where are you supposed to put your genuine Camel Trophy driving slippers or your Land Rover driving gloves made from genuine peruvian llama Testicles :D

Oh yeah - meant to add - I've got Hardigg and Pelican cases as well as some Seal Line bags and some super cheapy Ace hardware specials - To be quite honest as long as they're functional and perform the job you want to who gives a crap what's on the label.

Garrett,
Are you saying you would feel comfortable with Susie in just any case?

no button pushing man. i just find it really amusing. really. if you just step outside the converstion that is happening here it just sounds like a bunch of douchbags. i've been a douchbag at times, but you know when a bunch of Rover geeks are agruing about Pelican cases and getting all ga ga about it you take it to a new level.
i would think you would realize by now there is no "best" of anything. and a man of your stature should know all about complexes.

i guess it has alot to do with how you grew up. i am guessing you grew up as a poor immigrant and valued things that you never had. and well....that is unfortunate my friend. to you it always seems like the "best" is all so important to you.
