I keep my knife in my pocket. To me, signalling/communications is VERY important. This is for A'Stan, not at home.Originally Posted by ryan woods

Much enjoyed reading this!
I see you put the Leatherman in the BOB. HAve you realised too that the Swiss Tool is much superior and the prefered multitool on body?![]()
Dont think I could miss my knife though (or Firesteel..Originally Posted by East Scout
)

The Leatherman is an old one (pre-locking blades) but f.ing sharp - but it was free. For some reason I aquire them so I carry 4 - one in my vest/chest rig, one in my Crash Bag, a micro in my ID wallet and one of the old tiny folding ones in my RCK.Originally Posted by ryan woods
Swiss tools are expensive. Pusser gives me Leathermans.
Here's an interesting link, The Bug-Out Campout
Plus I get to tag this thread.
I may have missed it but no-one has mentioned flashlights yet, or do chem-lights suffice?
You missed it!Originally Posted by Geezah
