  1. #1

    Default Who carries what 24/7?

    What do you ALWAYS have with you, everyday of the year?

    On my person 24/7:
    Leatherman Multi-tool
    Mini-mag flashlight
    Suunto Watch (compass/altimeter/barometer/digital watch)
    Survival bracelet (10 ft. paracord, mini-compass)

    In my backpack carried to work everyday:
    swiss knife
    matches
    bandana
    survival tin (usual stuff: fishing line, garbage bag, hooks, snare wire, wire saw, ibuprofen, aspirin, purwater tabs, cotton balls, flint/striker, whistle, mirror, small knife, bandaids, mini-compass, etc.)
    2 energy bars
    deck of playing cards, waterproof

    Just curious...thanks!

    Default Survival "FAT"

    If one can get his onboard FAT layer thick enough He will have 2 or 3 months of survival energy wrapped in skin, it seems to have a long shelf life. Why have fanny packs, just have a large fanny. This way your survival energy is always with you. You can't forget it, It can't fall off the boat, and be lost. Be fat, be happy. 6 Months into TSHTF would you rather be skin and bone, or a full blown water buffalo....???? "Butterbutts will survive", "Butterbutts will thrive".......

    A folding knife, ( I own a few) small LED flashlight, lighter and some cash. Always. And an attitude composed of both a sense of perseverance and a sense of curiousity.
    some fella confronted me the other day and asked "What's your problem?" So I told him, "I don't have a problem I am a problem"

    As I'm reading this I emptied my pockets.
    SOG folder, two lighters (one has a flashlight in it.) Whistle, P-38 and metal match on keys, button compass, 20ft. of 2mm braided nylon cord (150lb test), orange bandanna w/survival instruction printed on it. Cord w/swisstek intelikey, Inova led light and mini magnesium stick.
    I keep a small kit in my coat with, as my friends say more 'junk'. I like stuff, and belive we are tool using monkeys.

    That is what I carry all the time.

    On average I carry the following on my person. I also carry a Mountainsmith "Day" lumbar pack most of the time. It's capable of carrying a fair amount of gear. But the following is just the few things I like to keep on me at all times.

    Spyderco "Native" clip pocket knife, Tikka head lamp, Gerber malti-tool, Bic lighter, Small Steel Match, (3) Trioxane heat tablets, Dog Tags w/ (Fox 40 whistle, John Wayne can opener, Medical Alert Tag), Tissue paper, I.D., Cell Phone, Cash, and $1.50 in Quarters.

    I would carry around my pocketknife and stuff, but that will get me expelled from school if I'm caught. So I just carry my pocketknife around on the weekends. And usually my clothes too.

    Why is there a red minivan in front of my driveway just sitting there? It came before I started typing this and it is still there, doing nothing.....
