Hello all
How is it each of you carry your pieces?
Being that I am a practitioner and expert on the arts of Urban Warfare, let me start the discussion of how I layer my tools of the trade. I have divided it into 3 layers...
In the pockets of my pants or on my belt
Layer 1:
- bandana
- cell phone
- folding knife (emerson cqc-7a)
- traser glowring (on keychain)
- info "cheat sheet": bank acct numbers, important tel. numbers, insurance acct./tel. info, etc.)
- money (plenty of cash)/ID/credit cards
- phone card, pre-paid
- photon-II micro light (on keychain)
- sas compass (in wallet, fully functional and only 5mm wide, 15mm diameter!)
In coat pocket or briefcase
Layer 2: always accessible, in my briefcase, coat pocket, etc.
- ham radio ht (yaesu vx-5r with spare li-batt & aa-batt)
- multi-tool (leatherman wave)
- survival mini-kit in altoids tin (container for following)
. butane lighter (bic mini)
. condoms
. bandaids (9 assorted sizes)
. duct tape (2"x3" taped to outside, 10 ft. 1/2" strip "sealing" the tin around the perimeter)
. iodine sterilization pads (4 pc.)
. iodine water tablets (6 pc.)
. jig saw blade, high carbon (3" section)
