Gee Whiz!! These lists reads like a Yuppie wish list. It takes
more money than most folk's have to spend on gadgets..........

My gadgets cost way , way less than anything listed so far.

Leatherman Supertool... $ 20 off e-bay
Mini- Mag light...Free from my employer
Buck 307 stockman ....$20 closeout from SMKW
Buck 112 lockback.... $10 off e-bay

Total cost for all my Gadgets $50 and some change for postage.
If I divide the total by the per year use costs these gadgets will be free
after a very short time.

I guess that's why they call me "Tightwad"...........
 
Always with me:

A knife of some sort, ususally my REKAT Savant
lip balm (usually Chapstick Medicated
Watch (Wenger stainless steel with black face)
wedding ring (wife won't let me leave home without it :D )

I give up. What is a "STREET SCALPEL "
not poking fun just sounds like something I might want to carry.

I was going to post what my gadgets are but need to know...is this stuff we carry on us ? or just gadgets we own ? ot like ?
 
Remembered a few more:

Canon IS binoculars

SOSpenders inflateable PFD

Garmin GPS units
 
The "Street Scalpel" is a neck knife from TOPS. It's made from 1/4 onch thick steel. If your interested in getting one, Make sure you get an older one. From what I here they recently changed the steel they use and not for the better. Usualy runs about $100.00

I listed the stuff I carry almost every day fir the exeption of my NV monocular.
 
Money
Pistol
Knife

What the money won't get done the pistol and knife will.
