Last week on B B & Guns, Blog Talk Radio, Breda had a great show talking about what gunnies had in their pockets.Not just their favorite concealed carry pieces, their required daily carry items.
Most gunnies have a bit of a survival instinct in them. Knives, multi-tools, flash lights in addition to wallets were the most common items. I have several multi-tools of various sizes that get selected based on the size and number of pockets I have at the time. (God I love the dorky cargo shorts)
I also carry an Altoids Tin.
Inside the tin is great space for all kinda good handy stuff. Mine has a small first aid kit, Chap Stick, a tiny flash light, a USB thumb drive, Alieve, cash, a credit card multi-tool. I am amazed how often I use the stuff in that thing. In fact I realized as I was setting it out to take this pic that I need to restock the damn thing! Somehow I need to keep a check list inventory.
--I'll store the checklist on the thumb drive!!
You’re making me feel downright inadequate. All that I usually carry is a gun, reload, knife, wallet, keys, phone and a small flashlight if I can remember it (only half the time):) I do like the altoids tin idea, never occurred to me.
ReplyDeleteI stole the Altoids tin idea. Just get one and start filling it up. Then it is just one thing to pick up.
ReplyDeleteI just realized that the small spool of dental floss is gone as well. Dental floss is damn handy string.
ReplyDeleteAnd you can floss with it!
spread them multitools around, man.
ReplyDeleteI actually have multi-tools everywhere, TBolt. In my BOBs, the truck, the house.
ReplyDeleteThese are just selectable.
I've been waiting for this post! I love it!
ReplyDeleteAlso, I want one of those credit card multitools, with the compass - where'd you get it?

ReplyDeleteAre those..."little blue pills" I see?....in an 'emergency' kit?
ReplyDeleteWhy shoot, a feller could have a pretty good weekend in Vegas with all the stuff in there."
ReplyDeleteThe Blue Pills are Alieve.
ReplyDeleteThat's my story and I'm sticking to it!
Breda, I got that card multi tool as a give away at work. Has our corp logo on the other side.
ReplyDeleteThe magnifying glass is great. I have actually started fires with it! Ants Beware!
Anon, The tool logic ones look good. Not expensive. Mine just says "Made in China".
ReplyDeleteGreat post! Found it via Breda. I've been meaning to do the same thing and your visually awesome post kicked me in the pants to go do it on my own blog.
