under the influence of Bryan's threads, i decided to post some of my own gear.
i won't carry all those knives, but those are my main choices. i feel the soldier(pioneer shown), delica, and 110 are the three essential folders everyone on BF should have.
the ranger assault knife is my main hard use knife. its closest competitor for that position is the dumpster mutt.
new items are the red duct tape, yellow para cord, wire ties, and suunto clipper. in my coat pocket is another section of od 550, a bit longer.
the natural twine is one of my favorite items, very versatile. i use that as often as my knife. mag light has the triple led upgrade. i also had the button switch but that had a rattle to it, twist is better. i recommend the victorinox led, great alternative.
the poncho takes up the most room, but i don't want a cheaper one when i need it. the matches and firesticks have saved the day more than once. cold, wet days.
you can see that it all fits in the $8 CTD proteus copy easily with room to spare for a cup or or something. i like having room to move my hand in the bag.
not shown are larger items: pot, sleeping bag, tarp. i'm thinking of ditching the bag for blankets. i want one of those solo nalgene kits like Bryan's.
Here's the survival stuff.
the adventure medical SOL clipped to a 760. should keep you breathing a couple days. i think it needs some foil. my pack above is not too much to keep on me all the time, and i'd be MUCH more pleased with those items. the swisstool's always on my belt anyway, which should really help compensate. i'd miss my twine and magblock/lighter.
