Ah...learn to live with it. Being the "Go-To" guy with the knife is not such a bad thing.
I'm the "equipped" guy at family and freind events - and I revel in it!
True story:
We had a picnic for an organization to which my wife belongs this past summer. We needed to hang a sign near the parking lot. I had some rope to hand between trees.
At the picnic, a kid fell - hard - on his head. I had the instant ice-pack in my backpack.
The kids wanted to play Tug-Of-War, I had 100' of Rope in the car.
Well, by now, I'm the "go-to" guy for the event, and as the picnic started to get rained on, people looked to me for a suggestions - and of course, we rigged up a tarp and canopy out of some tree branches and a nylon tarp I keep in my bag in the car.
Now I'm known as the gadget guy, and that's a good thing for me and my freinds. I enjoy it and so do they.
