in your pockets

[Air Pirate]

When out in the woods I usually prefer not to use my pockets since I'm worried stuff will fall out and get lost. In my pockets on any given day I usually have my Altoids tin "survival kit", keys (with a firesteel and SAK classic), some form of pocket knife, wallet, cell phone, notepad and pen.

in my combat jacket?
this will be fun:
1x leatherman core multi-tool
1x small first aid kit
1x survial tin
1x brew kit
1x chemlight
1x tactical jack "protector 3w" torch (flashlight)
1x first field dressing
5x chemical hand warmers
1x reel carriying assorted cordage and bungee cord.

the brew kit consists of:
3x sachets of sugar
1x "golden vegtable soup" mix
1x "tomato and beef soup" mix
1x "drinking chocolate" mix
1x sachet of kenco coffee
1x 44patt metal mug
1x block of kendal mint cake ready
4x sachets of instant coffee
1x light my fire spork (gotta have something to stir it with)

it's also got a poncho and survival bag saftey pinned into the lining.
I don't usualy bimble around with this lot (it's flaming heavy for starters) it's set up for a planned scout camp, where I will recieve about 20mins notice of it happening (just enough to fill out the forms appropriately) and then bundle into the scout leaders car, to be dumped at our local scout site with whatever we are stood up in, to "survive" the night.
obviously bags are forbidden (as is webbing ) but the jacket......

a more normal load for outdoor stuff would be a lighter, penknife, plus whatever other stuff I've shoved in a pocket (cord, torches, rubbish, dead batteries, live batteries ect ect ect) and sometimes an FAK. my leatherman and torch live on my belt, everything else theoreticaly live in my bag.

Have pimped my field jacket a bit. Sewed two pieces of paracord on the internal pockets so I can secure kit to them. Can fit a maglite in the pen pocket and by cutting the thread 'divider' will keep a Silva compas quite happily. Thinking of putting pertex as a shoulder liner. Also thinking of putting in a 'holster pocket' for my mora. Have a small firelighting kit, will have a small FAK and have a small survival kit. Reccomend the small US aircrew waterbottle for water and have muslin for filtering, insect net etc. Will make bivvy bag out of parachute nylon and have a taped up survival blanket. Wish I had my old thermoflect blanket, that would make me quite happy.

I hate carrying things in my pockets apart from maybe my phone and abit of cash, makes me feel all weighed down, I prefer to carry a small bag, day sack or shoulder sling.

A bit of that, plus the sugar boost, plus they taste nice. I always carry some sort of hard sweets or maybe wine gums with me on a trip; not a full bag, maybe 10 or 15 sweets in a ziplock.

 

[8thsinner]

Well I can't argue with the taste or the sugar rush I suppose, I have a very sweet tooth myself.

 

[Tengu]

I have no pockets suitable for carrying things (other than my hands) so I use a bum bag.

my woods gear is similar
