A crucial piece of gear for a scout was the multipack, which was created to hold a wide variety of instruments. Typical multipacks contained three medpacs, a pair of glowrods, a pair of breath masks, twenty-four filters for breath masks, and rations sufficient for a week's time. Furthermore, the multipack incorporated pouches and connection points for transporting a survey datapad, a cutting blaster, a vibroblade, a ThinHut, a portable heater, a Universal Recharger, a HydroExtractor, and a repair kit for both thinsuits and ThinHuts.
