I am not convinced of the efficacy of a pocket kit for urban preparedness. I carry a backpack daily to work and all of my vehicles have one as well. I also wear cargo pants so pockets aren't a problem.

One thing that I am never without, especially in a city, is a handgun. I realize that it won't fit in your pocket kit, but realistically in an emergency it could be critical to getting you home safe. It may not be an option for someone in Wash DC, but in DFW you would have that option.

Oh, as for your thimble problem, my wife likes to use these:



They take up almost no space and work pretty well.

Enjoy!
