When people get their hands on an extra small pouch for their gear (usually FAD, Grenade, Steyr or M16), they typically put it on the shoulder area or harness of their load bearing equipment. Bad idea - this makes carrying a pack and general movement more difficult. Put it on the side of a bigger ammunition pouch.
If you carry a utility knife of sorts with you, tie some cord to one end, and tie the other end to the inside of a pouch. Then when you need to adjust your blank firing adaptor or open something at night, you’ll have an easier time.
Tape a large plastic bin liner in the inside of your pack, everything goes in here and give it a quick tie when you’re done - waterproofing your pack the easy way.
If you have any spare small pockets or pouches, put a roll of black tape in it - it’s essential for improvising all sorts of solutions - fixing a snapped radio aerial, adjusting and tying up extra slack in your pack and webbing straps, maybe even taping up the baggy parts in your trousers if you really needed to move quietly.
