O2 suggestions

I've been carrying my O2 for quite a few years now. However, I've
never found a good way to transport the cannulas/hoses/valves. The
molded plastic container they came it is too time consuming to repack
4 cannuals after every trip. I've been putting them in plastic zip
locks but they don't fit well in them, they try to fall out, and it
pinches the connections a bit.
What are most people doing?

I have a single system in a glider, but I don't want it
smashed up before I need it. I keep it in a semi-hard
plastic sandwich box, as is sold by Tupperware and
Rubbermaid.

Freezer bags come in 1-quart, 1-gallon and 2-gallon.
What size don't gear fit in?

I use Ziploc bags too. The gallon bags allow me to fit my "Oxymizer"
cannulas, hose, and valve without having to crimp or otherwise damage them.
How large a bag are you trying to stuff your equipment into?

I leave mine hanging off a piece of the frame near the windshield.
I like having it handy. I hit thunderstorms on my last flight (a
couple days ago) and needed to climb higher than expected over
clouds. It's a bad time to look for a cannula.

(I use a Bandit, so it's a little less fragile and easier to don
than an over-ears model.)
