What has it got in it's pocketses? Thread Mk2
- Thread starter Toddy
- Start date
Lots of handkerchiefs in one cargo pocket as little sandbender#2 has an extraordinarily runny nose, in the other cargo pocket, A notebook, pencil and a length of para cord (about 2 m). A Doug Ritter RSK1 hooked into one pocket and my cheap as chips Nokia mobile in another smaller cargo pocket.
As I'm wearing 5.11 TacLite shorts, I don't have back pockets but largish slash type cargo storage things and earlier today they contained a child's hat and a small bear called Anna.
Something like this...

These plus a wallet and phone are my edc
pocket knife, lighter, torch
I might add this
it holds a packed up water carrier, sharpening kit and repair kit (in place of the torch)
a SAK, FAK, water bottle and some grub for a day out too
Great looking little pocket knife and lighter / torch. Where did you get them if you don't mind my asking.
Wallet, Swiss Army knife, mini maglite, disposable lighter, old mobile with heroic battery life, small first aid kit, keys, contact lens case.
knife is a Queen CC sodbuster jr re handled with wood scales - still carry daily unless the GEC #15 wants a run out
lighter is a repro WW1 type - forget where I got it but there are plenty on the net - roughly £10 + postage when I last looked
the brass torch well that was a bit tricker got it from peakledsolutions.net can't recall the exact spec as they make them up for you from a list of options - it has a red led as I like to try and keep my night vision
the leather slips I made myself out of scraps
not carrying them so much over the summer as i've a different set I prefer...

Right front...
Wallet.
Mobile phone.
Left front...
Keys and loose change.
Left rear, Pozi 2 screwdriver bit and a countersink.
That's it, nothing special.
At work I have a Hammer, tape measure, pincers, pencil, stanley knife, punch, small adjustable, small nail bar.
Although I own one of those Leatherman multitools things it doesn't get much use as I have the full size tools nearby so it mostly stays in the van.

Toddy, sorry if this is slightly off topic but your thread got me thinking about what i normally take out with me if im going for a walk in the woods which then led to me playing about with an altoids tin so i had everything all in one place and at hand.

Apart from my mobile phone, house keys and maybe water bottle this is what i tend to have on my person, plus a shiny new belt pouch to keep it in.

Nothing much has changed since my earlier post in this thread. However I have made this addition...
I hate having the pages of my notebook crumpled and have channeled my 'inner geek' to produce a pocket protector so that the notebook in my thigh pocket remains safe and that my pen doesn't accidentally open.
Easy enough to make, just cut to shape from an Ikea 'DRÄLLA' chopping board (use scissors) and bob is your uncle.
