Chewed on. By a cow.

It's either gene mods run mad, or someone passed out in the pasture. *laughs*

Ol momma cow with a calf can be down right dangerous.

I have had closer run-ins with my cows than my bulls.

That would be my entire PSK (the Altoids tin pack I take while hiking). Never opened, except to verify everything is in good shape on occasion. I hope things stay like that. The things that I do use regularly are my EDC. That includes a pen, knife, AAA flashlight, money, Tylenol/Advil, cellphone, etc. The EDC stuff that I don't use regularly includes a whistle, a BIC lighter, a P-38 can opener and a very small backup knife. Also, a wallet with useful money, but also with seldom used credit cards, store discount cards, Blockbuster card, etc.

If I were to dump something seldom used from my EDC it would be the backup knife (I always carry a larger main knife), the P-38 and possibly the BIC. The whistle I'd keep for sure. Probably the BIC too, even though it is rarely touched.

I try to keep the contents of my mini survival kit in mint condition as well. I check often to make sure all is well but I want the stuff to be in the best shape possible for when I need it in and emergency.

Other than emergency items I try not to carry anything that I don't have a need or use for. I think back up items are good(like matches) and a small back up blade is nice to name a few, but I am carful of overkill.

They take up so little space but here they are: knuckle bandages and butterfly closures.

Those come in handy for the areas that they are designed to cover. Nothing else will do as well without bandaging up an entire hand.

I know their intended uses; this topic is about the items we carry but never use. As of June 24, 2008, I have never needed a knuckle bandage nor a butterfly closure, both of which I EDC.

I also EDC those same bandaids and sutures. I'll keep packing them because when you need them, there is no substitute.

I have needed them before,,,maybe it's a guy thing because of the many things that we fool with that women normally don't,,,,I don't know.

Cars, you mean? I do a few things like change oil but for something more involving I leave it to more capable hands.

Anyway, knuckle bandages and butterfly closures take up almost no space.
