Was at a birthday party for a friend's young son. And when it was piņata time, they had nothing to hang it up with. So I unravelled the fob on my SAK Farmer and the piņata was hung. On with the party.

The fob had about six feet of cordage in a hangman's knot. Easy to unravel and retie, if you don't mind the "memory" from the knot when you deploy the cord.

i had to share this. Its not an emergency to me but it was to my wife. She had just colored her hair that day and needed a shower cap to do something so the affect wasn't altered. She was bummed until I pulled one out of my EDC kit.

Why a shower cap in my EDC? I take shower caps from hotels (in the tight little package the size of a condom) because they are essentially zero weight vapor barriers that in a pinch will hold in heat on my head if I suddenly get stuck in a rain/cold situation. I have them in all my camelbak and trail running packs, my bike tool kit when I wouldn't have my normal EDC kit on me for workouts.

Not exactly do or die, but last weekend I had to use the bandana out of my PSK to pre-filter spring runoff water from a mountain fed creek that had a lot of sediment etc which could of proven very disruptive to the digestive system if I had just treated the water with purification tablets alone.
