Here is my typical pile of pocket stuff....... :eek: :D :p

In the Pockets (Cargo Shorts so more pockets available to carry stuff :) )
Buck 424 (from the awesome Steve)
Buck 345 (deciding if I like it, so far I do)
Buck Tactical Slip Joint 703 (Usually have one of my Slippies on me in case I need to sneak up on a stick and do some whittling)
Keys with a Leatherman Style PS and of course a Buck 425
Lighter
Chapstick
Cigarette case with cigarettes in it.
Wallet with the usual stuff, plus folding scissors and nifty nail clipper (that were both from the awesome Steve)

On the Belt......
Buck 830 Marksman in a nylon 276 sheath
Giant cell phone phablet, for taking photos and communication in all its various forms, Internet on the go, GPS and stuff.... etc... (Phone being used to take the photo, so only the belt clip/holder is in the photo)



Yep.... Pockets are full....

Your a T.S.A. Nightmare....LOL......I love it! quite array thats for sure! 1st thought your a prepper....LOL thanks for this snapshot into the window into your mind. LOL They'll nver be able to say you weren't ready for any situation............thats for sure! and if we were stuck on a Mt I'm following you. :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:
 
Left front pocket: slip-joint of the day

Left rear pocket: bandana

Right front pocket: keys and Copenhagen

Right rear pocket: wallet

On the belt: lately it's been a plain jane 110 in a nylon sheath.

The nylon Buck sheaths carry better than the leather ones IMHO. I carry my iPhone in the leg pouch that my carpenters jeans have. I used to carry a lot more. I have been hankering for a new 305 or 309.

Hahaha, all the knives would stay in the car at any TSA infested place.
the Leatherman is TSA compliant though, pliers, small scissors, nail file etc..no blade.... :thumbup:

On a mountain, yep, we would carve up a couple hiking sticks, light up a smoke and use the phone to pull up a map, and hike on out.

I forgot, in the wallet I keep 2 needles and 2 long lengths of upholstery thread, in case of ripped clothes, fix a button, or sew up a fleshwound.
(And yes, I have sewn up several fleshwounds over the years with needle and thread ;) )

It is worse when I go anywhere in the car...lol
A decent set of tools etc...in the trunk
Water and coffee
Leatherman Charge TTI with full bit kit and flashlight in the center consol.
Prescription Glasses for driving.....

I usually only have a smaller knife in my pocket, a regular size folder on the belt and the one on my keys....
But lately I have been carrying a couple extra, to see which ones i use more, and also simply because I can.

Chris, how do you like that Marksman? It reminds me of a super beefy Vantage.

It has a very similar blade shape, and yes, super beefy!
Blade is 3.5" so a little longer.
The ball bearing pivot is super super smooth!
I completely trust the lock on it.
Shoot, if I needed to stab a folding knife through a car door, the Marksman 830 would be a good choice.

I like it enough that it has displaced my beloved Alpha Folders from the belt.... for now....

I like the 425 a lot.... I got one when they first came out, and it lived on my keys for 10 years.
Someone stole it eventually, but left behind the keys.....

Next up was a SAK classic on the keys for many years.

Then I aquired my current 425.
This is my second one, and it gets used quite a lot.
 
I'm having fun with yeah.....your riot! an like how you think. As they say plan for the worse! an hope for the best! One of my favorite movies is THE EDGE an what Hopkins says about why people don't make it out of bad situations. Hopkins: Charles Morse: You know, I once read an interesting book which said that, uh, most people lost in the wilds, they, they die of shame"

so true!

DessertChris, You'll rise above the situtation can tell.....

I also love the 2 more lines from that film. Hopkins: "What one man can do, another can do!" and the follow up about what they are going to [Bart] the Bear....Hopkins: Because today, I'm going to kill the mutha trucker! LOL GREAT MOVIE an love the cabin! I want one! LOL

I sometimes carry a 110 on my belt. It's an older one and doubles nicely as a hammer seeing as i'm not worried about wrecking the finish on it.

Best!

Awesome! Nothing tougher than a 110 :)
I use mine mostly around home in the yard. It was my gardening blade of choice last year.

Hahahaha, in Boy Scouts they taught us to "Be Prepared", and a bunch of skills to back that up :)
Reading your previous posts, I figure if we were on a mountain, we would likely have a couple firearms with us, so we might just have a BBQ'd snack on the way down too ;)

Buck 305. Its known as the Glamdring of my office.

Also a Leatherman Juice, blue, in my pack; does that count?

You betcha! I love the 305. I carry one occasionally too.
And a Juice is a pocket full of tools all by itself :)

I hear you brotha, My favorite firearms for woods is my BDL in 25-06, but when I'm out for BEAR.....My Winchester Model 94 TRAPPER in 44 MAG 300grain Hornady and my sidearm RUGER REDHAWK short barrel in 44 Mag Dutch loaded the perfect combo. Light & Deadly....LOL Yes Moose Jerky...LOL My freind from Cape Breton Island always brings me down stewed Moose meat in a BALL JAR an we chow it at 5am in the vehicle just before the crack of dawn before we head off for the 1st day of DEER season here.
 
Right front, Buck 110 ecolite(since Dec.), left front, a swiss army pioneer( to keep me from being tempted to use my buck 110 as a pry bar)
Rear right wallet
Rear left, sometimes phone or keys. I usually lay my keys and phone around or stick em in the back left.

Kind of thinking about a buck 300 series. I like the idea of 3 blades in one.
 
Front right coin pocket I carry a Buck LUX Pro with s30v blade! I love this frame lock knife she fits perfect in that little coin pocket!
 
BRP - Wallet
BLP- Folded Money
FLP - keys with a vic swiss army camper attached (need those tweezers and tooth pic)
RFP - change, an assisted opening knife (a kershaw that is made pretty decently use for any cutting etc if one hand is tied up) or any menial beater knife task.
Belt left side - Buck 360 multi, cell phone
Belt right side - 110
