Just been looking at my keyring and thought about what I carry on it. I have a maglite solitaire and a p-38 tin opener on one of my keyrings (I would have a small sak as well, but I've managed to mislay both of them in my room!), and I want to get a squirt p4 for it as well. My sak is almost a key in its own right, it is so good at opening things, the model is a climber and I have an led light and a water proof capsule with some matches in it. They arent that exciting, and others must have better tools on theirs. So, what do you have on your keys? Or as an emergency bundle?

Sound like I am going off subject here, but I am not, bear with me.......
I was once out in my suzuki sj 410 off roading, miles from home and I was starting to come back as it was dark. Anyway, all of a sudden, the engine cut out and the lights went out, I thought, no problem its a fuse, but I could not find the fuse box and it was dark. I felt under here and there and under the bonnet, but I could not find the fuse box. I remembered that there was a pub about a mile or so away, so I started walking to it, to get a box of matches so I could use them to find the fuse box. I got to the pub and explained my predicament and they gave me some matches and a candle too, which was good of them. I got back to the car and started looking for the fuse box again. I looked in a few places and then I looked under where the foot pedals are and that is when I spotted it. I also spotted something else at the same time, hanging from my keys was my mini maglight...............DOH....................Jon

on my key ring i have
a small victorinox penknife the size of my little finger(scissors, blade, file, tooth pick,tweezers)
a £1 LED mini light
a 1 meter green bootlace woven so it's 20cm long
and a non climbing carabina
i should point out that i am one for loosing gear too, my way of getting round that problem is to physically attatch my keys to whatever i'm wearing with the carabina.
so when i get dressed or undressed i know my keys are attatched to the trousers i took off last!
same goes for my mobile, it has a cord with a clip!

2 keys and a small plastic card with a barcode, by a well known dutch outdoor supplier, when in case I loose my keys and someone finds them, they only have to post (no charge) them to that supplier and they forward them to me ... Well that's the idea ...
I don't like all that stuff on my key ring ... I normally put the things you guys hang on your keyring in my pockets (jacket).
