Looking in my pockets and on my person right now while sitting at my desk at work I have about $222 worth of gear on me.
A huge portion of that is my Benchmade Mini RSK (about $125 w/ delivery) and my Timex Expedition watch/compass (about $65 if I remember correctly). In addition to that I am also carrying a small ferrocerium rod plucked from a cheap magnesium starter ($6) wrapped in shrink tubing ($1) as well as a small spy capsule ($5) with 2 days worth of prescription meds and some cotton ($5) and a Photon II white LED light ($15).
I also have a small PSK for hiking:
3 Condoms ($5)
6 MP1 Tabs ($8)
Scalpel Blade ($1)
Gerber 2" Locking Folder ($25)
50' of 100# Fireline ($2)
Mini Bic Lighter ($2)
Larger Ferrocerium Rod ($6)
3 Alcohol Swabs ($1)
Benchmade DPT Rant ($50 w/ shipping)
Timex Helix Watch/Compass/Altimeter/Barometer/Thermometer/etc.. ($100)
Total Cost $200
