This is my first reply. Seeing this post made me sign up. I am a 37 year old former US Marine. I walk everywhere, and I mean everywhere. I have never had a license and will never get one. My everyday carry is quite extensive. I have a Randall Airman #15, a Kershaw Leek knife, Buck 110, a PSK in an Altoids tin(that is way too extensive too list right now), Lansky Crock Stick sharpener, several lighters, 100 waterproof matches, juice pouches X 4, headlamp, mini maglight, longjohns, grip-ons(for ice), heat packs, bandana, extra socks, underwear, boot laces, Altoids tin filled with bandages, leatherman PST II, 100' paracord, cellular phone, phonecard, $10 in quarters and $100 in bills in a Witz Box, Headache meds, Valium, poncho for the rain, 2 garbage bags, signal mirror, leather gloves. Basically I carry a 72 hour kit everywhere.
