What's in your pocket?

[GreenmanBushcraft]

As a kid all sorts of things could be found in my pocket! Usually bits of plants, twigs, tinder, mushrooms and general 'things'. Oh, and I would always come home with a stick, and I still do!

Not much has changed with me. But was, or is, anyone else as bad as me?

Today I have a bunch of keys and nice BUCK folder, firesteel and a srunched up hat. Who knows what will be in their by the end of the day?

So, come on, what's in yours today?

In my right pocket I have my buddy kit, which consists of a large ring with a led torch, flint striker, 2 pill vials,whistle, knife sharpener, compass. In my left pocket I keep my mobile and loose change. also I carry my wallet with a few extra useful bits

Shirt pocket: Screwdriver, pencil, pay statement and security swipe card for server rooms.

Right thigh: £13.27, a lighter, 2 rubber bands and about 2m of string.

Left thigh: Black bandana/snot rag, keys on small crab (with LED and firesteel).

Back right: Wallet with Swiss Army credit card (Don't laugh, it was a gift).

Don't get me started on the coat. It's full of useful (see 'less') junk.

I'm wearing my kilt today, so I don't have any pockets, and I'm not wearing my sporran at the moment because I'm inside.

If we're good enough at our camouflage the blighters never even notice us

I do see what you mean though You know those scenes in films where the prisoner being released has all of the contents of his pockets returned to him just before he goes out the door? Can you imagine explaining some of the bits we carry around

cheers,
Toddy

Haha, I tell you what, if its on a day when im teaching I would be in the cells for a fair bit. I found a pocket full of pine cone centres in my pocket the other week, quite often some catapult elastic too!
