Dan-e-boy,

Just emptying my pockets and listing :

- left cargo :
-> tobacco
-> paper
-> lighter (cheap butane, adjustable, non-chilproof, non-piezo-electric, clear and brightly colored one)

- right cargo :
-> bandana (tan with the classical bandana pattern on it)
-> 6m/18ft of 550, 7 strands paracord
-> small, flat roll of duct tape

- right front pocket:
-> Old spyderco (looks like the ancestor of an Endura), with hollow grind reprofiled to a hollow scandi edge (cuts like HELL!!! <img src="/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />)

While in town, add the waist "banana" bag containing :
- wallet
- cell phone
- some more paracord
- some more duct tape
- paper phone book with a few extra pages and lead pencil inserted in the spiral
- leatherman Wave
- another lighter

As I live in a pretty remote place (156 peaceful and lovely people in my town), self-defense is not a big issue. I'm still being cautious and aware, but I don't need a defensive light or a gun, really. The last attack I had to deal with here was the neighbor's kid's snowball (the little bas... hit me in the nose <img src="/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />).

Cheers,

David
