    i carry a leatherman micra and my inhaler. i'm just a cube farmer, so i don't need much else. i usually have a small notebook and pencil, if i have a pocket for it.

    oh! also on my keyring is my 8gb thumbdrive. how would i ever survive without that?!

    -edit-

    those survival keychains are pretty cool, but they seem to be missing a very important component: a flotation device! what good is your keychain if you drop it in the drink? and why use a utilikey when you could have a leatherman micra, or one of those pliers with the screwdrivers that swivel out for the handles?

    It's a wonder some of the folks here don't have hernia's with all the stuff they say they carry every day. I understand why guys like Beowulf carry the gear he has, he's a protect and serve kinda guy. When I'm in the bush with clients I carry allot of gear. But on a day to day basis no way.
    1. If it's in your kit and you don't know how to use it....It's useless.
    2. If you can't reach your kit when you need it....Its useless.

    Pocket knife lately its been a CRKT, but I have many knives, I get in different moods and carry something else all the time, never without a knife since I was in elementry school, my dad taught me to always have a knife, he said a man never leaves the house without one and never to take it out of my pocket in school and remember its a tool not a weapon but the school will not see it that way, this was the late 70's

    I carry a leatherman super tool, and that is it for the day to day. At work I carry more, but not every day.

    Yep. That'll draw the customers in for sure. I'd be really concerned about the few that do sign up!

    So you are a police officer?

    I always have a watch that tells me when the whitetailed deer hunting is good. it comunicates with a satelite and the satelite knows the weather humidity pop temp ect and has daily reports of the rut in my area. curently, the hunting is bad. I also cary a hand grenade for when I come across those huge moose and don't have a meat grinder with me.

    Normally I don't like resurrecting old threads, but I thought this one was really interesting. Maybe the new members could add to it and those that have already posted could update what they carry daily.

    My list:
    Spyderco Rescue in a kydex sheath on a beaded chain worn under my shirt
    Sog Power-lok multi tool on my belt
    Boker 4 blade pocket knife (great-grandpa's blue steel bought in the 50's)
    Two bic lighters
    Key chain with Swedish fire steel, p-38, Swisstech micro tool, small compass-thermometer, micro pry bar, 10' 550 cord braided for a fob
    Surefire E2
    In my wallet spare truck key, 2 safety pins, sewing needle, 10' kevlar thread, and a E-Z Lap sharpener removed from the plastic handle. Super thin but functional.

    To be added after reading this thread: small container for char cloth, photon light, hand cuff key.
    Well why not?

    Survival is not about surviving AGAINST the nature. It's about surviving WITH the nature.

    You can't go in to nature, nature is not a place or an object. Nature just is. You are living it.

    About the same. Upgraded the P38 to a P51.

    Old Timer pocket knife, Howler whistle, Photon light, metal match, P51, mini compass, tube of char cloth. Added a charismatic personality.

    Just updated my "shoulder wallet." Besides the above, I carry TP, toothbrush & toothpaste, rubber gloves, motel size soap, and a razor. I've traded off my Silva compass (kept getting broken) for a WW II era Suunto.
