Just contemplating

[NorthernRaider]

No, CONTEMPLATING SD its the other thing that is rude

Just walking the Were-terrier after his daily meal of fresh Wildebeest and I realised as I walked across the drawbridge of Castle NR that apart from my watch, specs and cell phone I had no other useful items of kit about my tanned, ripped noble masculine body (shurrup you).

And by pure good fortune both of my remaining brain cells were firing together and I pondered thus.

" We chat, debate, adjust and adapt our EDC gear, BOBS, GHBs etc but surely at some point we could inadvertently or accidently be separated from our kits when TSHTF. Don't ask for examples I'm not trying to start a debate just getting us to perhaps contemplate how we can deal with such a problem.

Imagine being without your kit and relying on simply whats in your pockets when you walk the mutt, nip to the chippy, go out for a breath of fresh air, pop into town, just......... whatever, just stop and give thought that just perhaps you MAY be more comfy and better prepped if you just plonk a small amount of gear in your coat pocket. Just something useful, anything you feel could be handy at short notice that you would normally grab from your GHB / DEDC or BOB,
perhaps like Scythes thread about five essential items to choose you could select 3 , 4 or 5 items of useful gear and always keep em in your pocket / on your belt.

Small UK legal folder ????
Small AA LED tactical flashlight ????
Cheap butane lighter ??????
Multi tool????
Small Clamshell cell phone with built in torch n compass
Something like a Gerber Artifact on your key chain etc.

The choice is clearly yours to make and I doubt there's a wrong answer but I do think its worth just thinking about at least having just a few damn useful essentials in your pocket or hanging from your belt basically from when you get up until you go to bed??
