ETS Rocks! But thank you for the link. I enjoy comparing and contrasting the ideas presented on various gear and survival forums I visit. I'm adding this new one to my list.

Craig, I believe it's the New Sun "Handyman", which BQ carries. Like I said, it's not perfect, but at least it lets me keep this stuff on me at all times.

Thanks for the answer, snoman. New Sun has quite a nice line of gear pouches. I recently read on another forum a review of the New Sun Gear Liberty Pouch. They all sound cool, but the pouch I bought would have to hold my coat pocket gear.

My wife got a bit cold the other day while we shopping, so I put my coat on her, cautioning her that it might feel a bit heavy. She instantly agreed, saying, "Dear god! What have you got in these pockets?" The question may perhaps be more accurately phrased as what haven't I got in these pockets! Grin. I just try to be prepared, that's all.

During the drive back, she was still wearing my coat, and her curiousity got the better of her. She started rooting around in the coat's pockets to see what cool stuff she could find. She declared that going through the coat was somewhat akin to opening packages at Christmas. I couldn't agree more.

Funny story about somthing like that happening.

I was trying to attach a badge to the sleeve of my army cadet uniform before a parade (sewing would have taken too long) and ended up with my finger stuck to my shirt sleeve.

were i live (germany) there are no earthquakes,hurrikanes,tornados or other

Hi sid,

I live in Germany (city of Hamburg), too. Do we talk about the same 'Germany'?

We have many tornados (Windhosen), hurricans (Orkane), earthquakes (!!!) and heavy floods per year! In 1968 a heavy tornado strikes the city of Pforzheim with a fatal strength of 'F4'. Some days ago while the storm 'Gerda' was blowing a tornado hits the town of Drochtersen near Hamburg. It was 'only' a F1...

So here we have the same reasons to be prepared like our friends in the USA.

Greetings,

Sir Vivor

Based on the number of situations I've been in where I've actually needed this kind of stuff, here's what I've found to be most useful:

Each is actually "Number One" depending on the situation

1. Leatherman "Wave" Tool (Not a DAY goes by that I dont' use this tool at least once!)

2. Bic Lighter

3. Priceton Tec Attitude LED Flashlight
4. Blanket - ideally, space all weather, any will do.
5. First Aid Kit
6. Zip-Loc Bags - quart and bigger
7.Folding Saw (Don't recall what brand, it's nice - poss Stihl?)
8. Rope - any kind, any size, moe the better
9. Water Container - anything from a 2 liter soda bottle to Platypus packs
10. Money - as in cash.

of course, I'd rather have a top 150 items, to match what's in my pack in the Jeep!

Chris, About the knives, you noticed that too? I don't care what knives folks carry as long as they have something that works. Bill
