hey another dutchie!
mine are:
Small FAK (First Aid Kit, includes water purification tabs and Ziploc bag)
SAK (Swiss army knife) Huntsmen
SAK Swisscard
SAK Wenger executive
ACME tornado whistle
ferrosium rod
LED keychain light
P-38
tissues
duct tape
lighter (don’t smoke, though)
lipsil

and some other stuff that are non-survival related. (mp3 player and stuff) Got a super Xenon flashlight on order, which will become edc too.

I remeber that conversation well. I may still never come to a solid decision about urban water purification carry though I can (obviously) come up with lots of good reasons for it. <img src="/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> If we could get puritabs here in the states I would probably carry water purifaction a lot more often. Those things are tiny. Do bad we can't get them here. <img src="/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

Which extra antenna did you settle on for your radio?

I carry a Maldol AH510R extendable in my shoulder bag and a Premier RD-98 in my vest. I really like the RD-98.

Glad I'm not the only Dutchie who is prepared.
I forgot to ad on saturday's I also carry a Buck protoge or a CRKT mirage. In my pack rides a SOG goverment for the heavier work.

I carry my VX7R, too.

I use the SMA 24 and MH209, both pictured here:

I like them both better than the stock VX7R antenna, but they are only dual band antennas.

Yep, I've had to run (to the bunkers mostly) with my SRK on my ankle a couple times, no problems. I tuck the tip of the scabbard into the top of my work boot about an inch and a half down, I have a nylon strap threaded through the top of the scabbard with a plastic clasp on the ends that allows me to wrap it around my leg just below the calf muscle. It ain't the most comfortable, but after a while you don't notice it much. I really like the way the knife compression locks into that scabbard. I put another SRK into my BOB, just in case I have to bug late at night after being rudely awakened and can't dress down like I usually do.

Bandana, P-38, fingernail clippers, fishing pliers(small), SAK, FAK, Utility pliers (leatherman style), lighter, cell phone, Compass/watch, Dorcy LED light, polished steel keyfob(signal mirror), paper, pen/pencil, money

Anyway to add a whistle and something to carry water in? A Gerber or other formula bag, perhaps?
