Thank you :)

Any one else want to share ?:D

Your photo doesn't appear for me, not sure why.

Edited to add: Ah, its because it is hosted on Facebook and my browser blocks all things Facebook. :)

"...Does not have to be bushcrafty..."

In my 'bumbag':

A shemagh (or 2), a tennis ball, a small pink plastic spade, some chalk, string (various), a couple of balloons, a notebook and some pens and pencils, an apple or a banana, a childs sun hat, a childs raincoat, a 'disposable' poncho, a first aid kit in a small metal M&S mints box, a nappy (diaper), some polythene bags, a hat (for me), a wallet, a small head torch, wallet, mobile phone and a karabiner with a couple of tools and some keys attached.

On my belt:

A leatherman crunch or wave, a small slipjoint penknife and a small Olympus camera.

In my pockets:

Notepad, pencil, string, handkerchiefs.

Not particularly bushcrafty most of it is part of my day to day child support and entertainment pack. :)

A leatherman squirt PS4
Tick key tick remover (its that time of year again)
Uncle bills sliver grippers
A nappy pin and a safety pin
Fenix E01 torch
Exotac nanostriker

Thought I'd join in. Three posts in months and months isn't quite enough :)


Amongst my normal rubbish I usually have the following. I've ignored some very dull things and highlighted anything that may actually be useful.

In my pockets:
Mobile, wallet, keys.
Amongst the normal stuff keyrings and wallets contain I also have a mini magnifier (credit card size), fluid lighter (small o-ring sealed so it's always usable).

I usually also carry a Berghaus bag (to and from work, etc) - this has all sorts of tat in it, but that includes:
A waterproof poncho thing (cheap thing in a zip lock bag),
disposable lighter,
tiny firesteel with striker bundled with some waxed paper,
Swiss army knife (huntsman I think),
torch.

Most of this is obviously used day-to-day for not very exciting tasks - lighters, knife, waterproof poncho is in case I walk somewhere with no coat and get caught out, etc.

Based on the photo above, I've now copied your house keys. Now all I have to do is try them in every house in Wales until one works. The perfect crime.

no knives or blades, no need for them for 99.9% of people.

I do agree with that but I do carry a SAK and use it most days and everyday when at work.

My normal workday EDC:

Work Phone
Personal Phone
Cross Head Screwdriver
Bic 4 colour Pen
A6 Notepad
Floppy Disc Drive and ribbon cable
Hard Floppy disc Case with my 2 floppy discs in
SAK, Whistle, Exotac nanostriker and Led Lenser P3 all on a keyring.

When not at work i just carry the SAK, Whistle, Exotac nanostriker and Led Lenser P3.

You always get that one in ;) You must know a lot of people to make such an assumption.

Ok pockets out

Keys has a little vix solo thing with scissors, red whistle (my little boy loves it and helps to not loose my keys)
Either my Leatherman Juice for work stuff, and if not needed its either a UKPK or a Joker knife exactly like yours,
Few quid in notes, cant stand carrying loads of change so i keep the change at home then cahs it in.
Thats its besides my phone HTC on X.

Oh and USB boot disk

I will continue to get that one in to, for me its plain stupidity to carry a blade, why carry one, peel your apple :lmao:

If your a tradesman you will keep your tools in a tool kit, no need to have a blade on you. For one thing it gives police something to moan about and while you may be sensible, the people who take the blade off you may not be and I don't care if your a cross between Bruce Lee and the incredible hulk anyone can get decked.


Just my view.

Just my view.

I carry a blade for work and the owners other half is a solicitor and it is perfectly legal. I do not need a full tool kit when all i use a tool for is opening deliveries and odd DIY jobs. When i used to work on site with a full tool kit i never used a knife, no need when building. I must be in the 0.1% population as I need a knife or some sort of sharp and strong edged tool.

Thank you all for sharing! :)
