Someone else on this forum once described his as an Urban Convenience Kit. That's basically how I describe mine. The situations I'm likely to encounter rarely are life-threatening, as in true survival. They really involve convenience. I'm always using bits and pieces of my daily carry.

Take the blackout, for instance. I normally carry on my person an Arc Light AAA and a Princeton Tec Blast. Should I have been in NYC and had to use a stairwell to make my exit, there would have been no problem. My shoulder bag contains my SureFire E2e-HA and a CMG Infinity Ultra. My jacket pockets contain a Princeton Tec Attitude and a Princeton Tec 20.

My sister-n-law said I would have been very useful in NYC during the blackout, as I carry enough flashlights to have outlasted the blackout as well as enough first aid supplies to have taken care of headaches, mucles strains, minor scraps and cuts, etc.
