1. Leatherman SuperTool 200 (i like the fact that everything locks) 2. p-38 can opener (keychain) 3. one standard red mechanics rag 4. folding knife (needs upgrade, not happy with it or the sheath, Frost Cutlery <img src="images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> plus the blade is over 3 inches, not good for city living) 5. money 6. a roll of 550 paracord 7. FAK (contains some extra miscellany as well, carpenters pencil, compass, pepper spray in it's own pocket, etc) 8. food and water 9. AA maglight (needs upgrade) 10. zippo lighter and backup bic lighter (i smoke)
since i live in a city, i have found it best to make as many items as possible, discreet and low-detection, and don't really have the need for fishing hooks or things like that. Though i wear my leatherman on my belt just 'cause it's cool! <img src="images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
these are all extra personal items that don't include the cell phone issued by my job and pens and paper etc...or any tools in the trunk...i do think it is horrible the way the government tries to warn/scare us into preparing ourselves (Hurry!!! Duct tape and Plastic Sheeting!!!! Run!!!) but we are looked down upon sometimes for carrying things you can find in most stores... <img src="images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />
