Today on me, at work
Just me.
I carry a lot of this in my man purse ... also called a vest
I'm a big fan of the Silent Hill games so pardon my nerdiness.

Daily, it's usually an ALOX in a kydex necker paired with a nice traditional or celidor SAK for my pocket. Add a pocket light when the weather is bad (we lose the electricity out here often). Trips to town usually require adding small kit in the console with a couple of SAKs (usually a 111mm + a big 91mm (like a Swiss Champ), a flashlight and a multitool.
Living in Tornado Alley and losing most of the farm to a wildfire, we keep "go" kits/bags of gear ready for emergencies. They include various SAKs stored in weather/wildfire/emergency bags. Swiss Champs/Farmers/ Soldiers/ OHT's along with flashlights, batts, first aid kits, scanner, SW and 2 way radios etc. Larger fixed blades, a fence tool and a saw/axe are also in there. My daypacks have other stuff including compasses, repair kits and a 22 pistol. Here's a field sewing kit I threw together (along with my Vic Trail Guide)..
Vics are a mainstay in the bags.
Also have a rifle scabbard with a small kit on it for trips out to the stock tank (scouting for hogs and such). The kit has a Vic 111mm Hercules, pocket first aid kit, paracord, multitool, ammo etc.
Out here in the sticks, it pays to have something ready to throw into the truck during emergencies. Never again will we get caught flat footed.
He really likes the SAK's like you have there where the paint is rubbed off like that--He has a few of them. AND I love the camo knives...all of it! Good stuff! Thanks for sharing!
Heck, I'm lucky if I remember to take the keys to get back in the house.
Para cord it's been moved to zipper pull now.
Cash? PMs can get you outta a lot of jams on the road....just sayin'. Used to carry a few Gold Eagles in my travel wallet but those days are long gone. I might manage a silver coin or two these days.
