Pelican 0915 Memory Card Holder review (video)

When it comes to memory cards, organization has not been one of my strong suits w. Typically I shove the 3 or 4 memory cards that I have into my pockets for backpacking. Sometimes I’d use a ziploc bag, but mostly I just fumbled around hoping that I had the right card and that it was empty. This summer I have some longer trips planned, 2 weeks on the John Muir Trail, 1 week on Bowron Lakes, a couple survival trips and a lot more memory. I picked up the Pelican 0915 Memory Card Holder to take up the challenge.

The Pelican 0915 is a shock proof, water resistant (waterproof in my opinion) made of polycarbonate. It’s simple, functional and practically bombproof. It holds 12 SD cards, and underneath those it hides space for another 6 mini SD cards and 6 micro SD cards. It has a place where you can hang it or put a lanyard through so you don’t lose it and well… that’s pretty much it.

It’s a simple tool that I know I can trust to keep me organized while keeping my memory cards safe and dry. The only potential downside is that it weighs a bit over 3 ounces. That’s not much, and a sacrifice that I’m prepared to make, but gram weenies would probably leave this behind.
