On a daily basis I carry a Karimor 20 Spectre day sack which I can get my laptop and bits of small shopping, books papers etc according to what I may need for my work on a daily basis.
It also contains what I call an "escape pack" anything I might need in an emergency.
These are its contents:
1 pair of thorn proof gloves
1 pair of thermal gloves
1 hat
1 cotton neck tube
1 (See my post) firesteel and tinderbox
1 trangia handle
1 dinamo torch
1 small field 1st aid kit
1 small bottle hand cleaner gel (alcohol base)
1 multitool
1 compass
1 magnifier
£20 note folded up
1 empty "Source" water bladder with the tube inside
1 pen
1 micro hammock
2 high energy cereal bars
1 Ecotanka Stainless steel water bottle
Because I cycle I also have a very tough cycle helmet (ones used by skateboarders). When I lock my bike I take it with me, Especially If I have to go to areas which are not regarded as generally safe (some of the estates I work on).
Having been in a city in the middle of a terrorist attack everyone is wanting to do the same thing- get away, while the security forces are trying to lock the situation down. Which usually means public services grind to a halt and chaos..
I wouldn't like to think I am paranoid, just prepared. I practice with my kit regularly and replace the cereal bars about once a month.
