Just a folding knife and a camera on my belt.

I used to carry a mora, a fireflash, small torch, DC4, some paracord and a laplander saw. Even for walking the dog for just a few hours. Now I realise all that is absolutely redundant and I only carry all that for longer trips.

There’s fluff and stuff and ??? in all the pockets – or was before today’s turn-out! I often have some of John’s leather bags hanging on the trouser-belt with odds and sodderies in them. It all rather depends on if I’m going for a walk, visiting a friend, going shopping (arrrggghhh!!!), driving somewhere …
