The £50 note is not a good form of emergency cash, lot of places don't accept them. I have 5 £20 notes folded and ironed flat in my wallet in a little zip lock bag for emergencies, takes up no space and should cause no problems when used.

A great big hole.

Like me on Thursday. Lost my car keys somewhere on a 5km walk across the moor through a hole in my 'security' pocket! Tried backtracking on the etrex but was a few metres off my footings over drifts. A long walk followed.....

Normally I carry a SAK Classic SD, mobile and a bit of kitchen towel.

Some great lists and food for thought.

I find it weird that knives got questioned on this forum but not my "wallet of lock picks and wrenches" :lmao: Priceless!

Wallet with money, loyalty cards, a debit card, various out of date membership cards, cheques I've been given but forget to cash and about 2 months of unchecked lottery tickets in it.
Also bunch of keys, separate car keys (hate dangly keys as I drive) with a silverpoint tiny LED torch keyring bought cheap at Cotswolds.

The last thing is a cotton hanky. I know it's old-fashioned and disposables are healthier but I'm a little allergic so have the sniffles a lot. Hankies are just enough in case.

Of course at work I have work phone, pen and a pad made up out of waste paper cut to size and stapled. I cut it so I have a perfect sized pad to fit my back pocket. I use waste paper as getting a pad from work and keeping it is pretty much impossible and it's a good use of all that waste paper generated in the office. We all print before getting it right so why not recycle it?
