What would be your top pocket items?

[Scythe13]

Hi everyone.

Once again I'm refining ALL my bags and sorting the stuff out. But then it lead me to yet another question I'd love to get some feedback on.

One of the things I am trying to do, is to get a grab pocket/pouch. The basic idea is that BOOM, TSHTF and I have just picked up my BOB/GHB and I've started moving. I'm trying to build a pocket with stuff that I will want to transfer quickly to my pockets; for various reasons, e.g. quicker access, for use while on the move, if I need to ditch my bag for faster movement or escape, etc.

What items would you want to have with you?

My list is pretty basic, as I'm thinking this out as I write this post:

Knife x2
Multi-Tool
Torch
Spare batteries
Space blanket
Water filter straw
Small amount of food (chocolate bar or something like that)
A small fire kit (lighter, bits of rubber, cotton buds, flint)


I'm thinking each bit would be in a separate pocket.

A knife in each front pocket
Multi tool in a front pocket too.
Torch in front pocket without the multi-tool.
Fire kit back pocket with space blanket.
Food and water filter other back pocket.

I'm thinking I should have a small head torch (loving the Petzl E-Lite right now! Am able to run with it and not have an issue with it slipping!) as well as the normal torch, but that would be kept around my wrist, not in a pocket.





This is a list that will evolve as skills develop. But I'd love some concepts, feedback, or ideas please.

I didn't explain the idea very well.

TSHitsTF and you have to get going. You pick up your BOB/GHB and transfer certain bits of kit from that bag to your pockets for easier access etc. I'm trying to build, into my bags, a small area (a side pocket or small top pocket, etc) that I will grab all the stuff from, when I pick up my bag.
