Here is a shot of my survival 'necklace'. I don't actually carry it around my neck; it hangs on my belt and is suspended in my pants pocket. Because its suspended and held apart with wooden beads, it hangs flat and there is no weight in the pocket. It complements the items I always carry elsewhere, such as my Wave. I have taken components off, and added components endlessly over the last year, but this is my final result...I think.
