I don't carry a handgun. I haven't gone through the hassle of trying to get a Cali permit. Even if I had a permit, I'm not sure if I would carry anyway. The trouble a handgun could give me outweighs the unlikely benefit...personal decision.

I don't carry a multi-tool. A pocket knife covers most of my emergency tool needs.

I don't carry a separate flashlight when I'm cutting as much weight as possible. I honestly haven't used my flashlight in about a year. When I need a light, I've been using my cell phone's light.

Instead of a wallet or a money clip, has anybody here tried using a strong rubber band around their credit cards and cash?
