Vital Gadgets & Gear To Have On You At All Times

Prepping is something we all do to some extent even
in our house hold shopping.
I have a TOOL box in my home and one in every vehicle.
If I can get to my tools I can get just about what ever I need.

Wow Blade Girl, you generate a lot of interest on your threads. :D I just noticed this one but have not waded down all the posts as of yet an since I go to the Gadgets & Gear forum pretty regular, I figure this one must have been moved from elsewhere. Anyway....

I am a SAK guy. I love my Vic SAK Adventurer model (111 mm) with the side lock. It always works and has the basic set of tools that I use with some regularity. It is basically a Tinker but larger. I find the longer blade to be very useful, long but not too long.

If you talk about what I limit to my person, I carry two knives (SAK and ZT 0770CF) [sometimes a large slipjoint GEC #42 and a small sak + the ZT or Spyderco Native], smartphone, keys, often a firearm, bic lighter, cash, cards (including an Walmart gift card with about $100 on it for emergencies), and of course wallet and ID and so forth. If for some reason I add a small bag (511 type bag), there will be a flashlight, camera, and often my tablet computer as well as anything I think I might need for the day. I don't really think in terms of carrying everything on my person as I am usually attached to a vehicle.

But if I am out and about in my vehicle, I will have my tablet computer with me, smart phone, SAK, money, keys, even some paracord like yours, a couple flash lights including a head mouted one. (You just can't have too many unless you are carrying them on your person.) I also usually have a change of clothes, tennis shoes in addition to what I am wearing, cold weather stuff in the winter, shovel, blanket, usually granola type bars, water, more knives, and an assortment of tools if I am on the job like a recip saw and drill and blades/nut driver bits.
 
6 pages of knife guys and no one carries band aids?? I carry all the usual

- .45 sub compact Glock
- extra mags
- flashlight extra batteries
- a fixed and a couple folders
- Lighter
- Water purification tabs
- assortment of Band aids and I carry a full trauma kit in each vehicle and in my personal bag with a couple packs of Quik Clot
- watch
- Multi tool
- granola bars and a couple of the Mountain House MRE's

In all honesty Ive had a need for band aids SEVERAL times...
 
I keep a CLS bag in my trunk.

Here's my breakdown... (from left, top down)

Rolex Deepsea Sea Dweller, ID tag necklace, Zebralight H600F XM-L2, Lexus GS300 key with home keys and bladeless multi tool (doubles as a flail or garrote), GEC 22 pocketknife, Darrel Ralph custom Alcoholics Anonymous AXD, business cards, custom lighter, Indian reservation cigarettes.

Not in the picture is a AA meeting sign in sheet.

Indian reservation cigarettes?? I've never heard of anything like that myself. Interesting. How do they taste, and can you only buy them from a reservation? I smoke Marlboro Reg 100's and Camel 99's myself, and am not a menthol guy personally. Are they like American spirit cigarettes? I tried an American spirit cigarette and they were actually pretty good. Good flavor; a little on the weak side for a full flavor cigarette, and I noticed It felt a little different after I smoked it. Maybe less additives? Who knows. probably nothing like the cigs you have. I love the Darrel Ralph knife you have there. I would almost be afraid to EDC that. :thumbup:

These are also additive free. These are made by the Seneca Nation and can be purchased near Indian owned casinos. They aren't bad for the price. A carton of Marlboro here is approximately $55 and these are less than half that.

If you like that DDR, you're gonna like this one even more... this was an EDC pic from September.



My current DDR collection. I have another on order.

 
That's a pretty respectable collection :thumbup: I love the karambit in the first picture. That Damascus is beautiful. Is that heat treated TI?
 
Cold steel and Puma are some of my best quality folders. I don't have the money for something that nice. I hear Rockstead makes some amazing stuff as well. If I ever have more money than I know what to do with I'm going to buy a couple. I EDC a Camillus CUDA, and a PUMA 326911. Both are great knives. Nothing like those. :thumbup: I don't have pictures of them at the moment, otherwise I'd post 'em. Perhaps I'll have to show you some pictures later.

I don't carry band aids on body, but I have a booboo kit in my bag and a lot of capability in my car FAK.
