Those "saves" are so common, that they usually do not even appear as such. That´s especially true when they prevent mishaps from growing to problems.

• Nasty paper cut
  Those band aids really come in handy. Cut is patched before blood is spilled everywhere.
• Broken key in filling cabinet
  Unfortunately an urgently needed laptop was locked in there and someone managed to break it in way that did not allow to unlock. My set of lockpicks has an extractor. That made it easy to clear the lock and use the spare key.
• Button off of secretaries top
  Button was not lost, so having needle, thread and a Leatherman Micra saved the day.
• Cactus needles in a coworkers finger
  Fresnel lens help to find it, tweezers made extraction easy
• Running nose and a mother in distress
  The child attempted to use the sweater sleeve to clean the nose, the mother thwarted that attempt but had no alternative to offer.
  I gave the paper handkerchiefs from my vest to the mother. I still had spares in my backpack.
• Ammo mix up
  A hunting buddy made joke about me carrying a cleaning rod in my gun bag. While making the joke he dropped two shells into his 12 gauge double barreled shotgun with quite a bit of momentum. The 16 gauge shells jammed in the chamber. As I´m not the kind of guy who holds grudge indefinitely, I borrowed him my cleaning rod - and some 12 gauge ammo as well. You never know when you are going to need a hunting buddy´s help, so it cannot hurt to set a good example .

I think being prepared for emergencies is a life style and a mindset. Day-to-day life offer more opportunities to avoid mishaps anyway.
