Thanks for all the good suggestions.

JIM- No need for a head-net, thankfully. I think I got one mosquito bite last year, but that may have been the year before.

bigreddog- RE: multi-tool. Does that mean I have permission to buy more gear? Does my wife know about this? :-] I suppose I could swap in the Leatherman from my briefcase.

teacher- I have a phone in my EDC, yes, although the coverage here depends upon elevation. Down in the valleys the phone makes a very nice watch.

massacre- When humans are gone (except Will Smith) and cockroaches rule the earth, that acrylic shag will still be waiting for the return of disco. It is truly a survivor.

BigDaddyTX- The SL3 is a mediocre knife, which is why it has lived in a drawer since I got it. I've started fires with it, but there are easier ways (Sparklite). The blade is okay, but the lock is so skimpy that I treat it like an SAK with a non-locking blade. It's better than nothing (it cuts, whistles and sparks), but I definitely have better knives, whistles and firesteels.
