Thread: What do you carry on your person in public?

    Default What do you carry on your person in public?

    What do you carry on your person in public at all times? I carry my fixed blade, my multi-tool, my magnesium fire starter, and my mini-maglite.

    Personally, I carry a variety of items. I wear military BDU's on a daily basis and I keep the cargo pockets filled with gear. I carry a firesteel, a pencil sharpener, steel wool and dryer lint in an empty prescription bottle,a bandana, a Fenix PD30 flashlight, spare batteries, a whistle, a photon II Flashlight on my keychain, a fishing kit with hooks, sinkers,and 30yds.of fishing line, a multi-tool on my belt, a Gerber Freeman Folder in my pocket and I am sure that I left something out.
    Take only what you need, and leave the rest.

    Cool Well, you asked...

    I carry my wallet since it has my CDL in it, my keys so I can get back in the house after I leave, at least 2 decks of cards on my belt in case I need to perform at any given time, a fanny pack with more performing stuff, & my cell phone.

    Usually and depending on where I might be going Beretta 45. I always have a SOG Flash II, SAK, wallet, keychain light, glasses. I use a walking stick because I look old enough to need one and first line of defense. I will leave the 45, knives in the vehicle if I might go where they aren't welcome, but I can always carry the walking stick. Oh I forgot the cell phone(to call for HELP)

    All other times: Wallet, watch, keys with photon light, SAK, PSK [with 2 Bic Lighters, 2nd. photon light, howler whistle, tinder, flash mirror, etc.] mints, cash, cell phone with internet/e-mail/TV/GPS Navigator, car alarm remote, .32 Beretta Tomcat, kleenex pack, and pen.

    If I had that much stuff in my pockets, I probably won't go more than 200 yds from my truck, either! (I'm out of shape.)LOL

    I normally only have my wallet, keys, cell phone, smokes & lighter.

    I'm pretty new to "survival thinking", but sitting here thinking about it, finding my truck, in a survival situation, would be near to hitting the mother-load. I'm a grading contractor, and work out of my truck, mostly. There's a lot of useful stuff in there! LOL
