What has it got in it's pocketses? Thread Mk2

[bivouac]

I'm a little concerned at how many people are going around carrying knives on a day-to-day basis!

For myself, i pat my pockets as i'm going out of the house a little like my dad used to cross himself and say "Spectacles, testicles, wallet, watch". That covers most eventualities for me.

I have just spotted this thread so thought id have a look in my everyday jacket that i wear most days for most things , it is a normal harris tweed jacket with a top breast pocket one inside pocket and two side pockets, i started with the two side pockets which the linings inside have ripped over time so its really one big pocket with two entrances so i dug deep and pulled out 2 broken fag lighters 1 box of matches full of used matches a 1/4 whitworth spanner and a 10mm spanner 1 pencil 5 tie wraps a tube of gasket sealent some short lengths of para cord 13 beer bottle tops a small skull i think off some sort of vole cant remember where i found that been in their for years lots of reciepts some coins added up to about £4 sme penny washers and small bolts a couple of screws and a 3 inch nail an opinel penknife i thought id left in the woods lots of choclate bar wrappers and air gun pellets and lots of other very usefull stuff. Then in the inside pocket their is a pen a notebook some more receipts and a small torch which worked amazingly in the breast pocket was some folded up kitchen roll probrably their incase of left over food somwhere to bring home. All in all a load of rubbish really but not being near the bin i put it all back in carefully because i didnt know it was all in their so its doing no harm , i also have my phone in my inside pocket when i go out .

But they get used every day!

Mate, I carry a sword with me into work every day so a sub 3" folding knife in my pocket is no worry.

Why? Seriously? My car is a lot more dangerous yet I drive that everyday.

My custom SAK is my constant companion and serves me well whether it's opening blister packs, chopping apples (Always taste better that way)' sharpening pencils or cutting string. Never mind the bottle opener.... I've had a (legal) knife in my pocket since I was 8 yrs old and I've never felt compelled to stab anyone.

You've got no use for one in church. Am i going to have to bodysearch the old dears on sunday?

I've never carried one, except in my rucksack. I'm not a big fan of sharps. But i realise i'm in the minority here. No problem, lets not hijack Mary's thread.

Sorry mate - I do! As it happens I spend most of the service sketching (we will not go into why I am sketching as it would hijack the thread completely and get into "Religion") and as a pencil sharpener gives a lousy point I always use a knife to sharpen my pencils. When I was at art college anyone seen using a pencil sharpener got a row off the lecturers!

Sketches? Art college? Bring artwork samples to The Moot or else you're a liar with pants on fire!

Contents of my pockets. Well, I'm in my dressing gown right now hunched over an electric radiator so I'm not exactly ready to step outside. I'm just getting over a cold so my left pocket has assorted tissues and the other pocket has my glasses case. (Try to contain your excitement)

I'll report in again once I go out into the wilds later.

I saw the jacket, but no preliminary artwork, not even so much as a doodle sketch on the back of a fag packet. Bring 'em along to the Moot, inquiring minds need to see this stuff

Ok, at work so:

Left thigh large pocket- mobile phone

Left thigh small pocket- 2 torches- disposable pen torch for checking pupils and things like skin flaps and stoma colours (normal bulb gives better colour for this than LED) and Fenix LD 10 for inspecting external blood circuit tubing for clots and general illumination around the place on nights (checking drainage bottles, finding shards of broken glass from dropped ampules etc etc)

Right thigh pocket- stethoscope

Left pocket- chewing gum, pen drive

Right pocket- watch

Left tunic pocket- pens, safety specs, hand cream, ID Badge/swipe card clipped to it. Add a petzl zipka on nights sometimes- sits around the hand gel bottle on the desk so I can actually see my paperwork!

Right tunic pocket- tuff cut scissors, roll of medical tape, oxygen cylinder "nipple" connector, large chest tube clamps


Outwith work:

Wallet, Fenix LD10, mobile phone, keys, small keyring with "Sliver Grippers", emergency whistle, CPR face shield, micro torch thing, leatherman micra

Cheers,

KP

I did wonder what you used it for and now i know. I thought maybe people were carving spoons in the dentists waiting room or something. When i was in art college i did photography and the bloody designers were always hogging the darkrooms when i was running late on an assignment. I've never got on with them since.

And now, seeing as i used 'knives' and 'hijack' in the same post & i'm flagged up on someone's workstation in GCHQ, i'll let the matter rest, if that's ok.
