Tight is right. I will pack a bowl and go for a hike. As im walking ill take a hit or 2 and put it back in my pocket. The bowl will usually last for the entire hike. If it was lightly packed id have to stop a few times to reload. That can be hard at some places. Its better for stealth that way. Ive used this to smoke out everyplace from the observation deck at the sears tower to the smithsonian to the foot of the lincoln monument. Its funny to watch people start to look around when they smell it. Sorry to late the bowl is but away and I have moved on.
