Over the years I have used it several times:
* 1 time for the water in it while changing tire in middle of nowhere when it was 105.
* 2 times for the spare CR123 batteries I have in it.
* 3 times for medical supplies (Band-Aid, Contact Lens solution, Bug Bite, Wipes, etc).
* 2 times for a knife bigger than the one I typically carry.
* 3 times for the Multi-tool.
* 1 time for camera (now I just use cell phone camera).
* Several times for paper/pen.
YMMV.
