Chili Ron Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 Howdy So we carry knives and guns but what else besides keys and of course credit cards. I usually carry a pen and a tiny tape measure. That tape measure sometimes confounds folks. Best CR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subdeacon Joe Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 Well, in Sonoma County it is pretty well impossible for a regular citizen to get a CCW and I don't want to carry illegally (at this time, anyway), so two pocket knives, pen or pencil, phone, Fitbit, a bit of paper folded up and tucked into a pocket. Bags to pick up after the dog (got those in my work pants, my lounging shorts, bathrobe, cassock). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raylan Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 Glock 19, Leatherman Surge & bit kit, Kershaw Boa, liquid gel pen, O light AAA 180 lumen flashlight (extra battery), two sets of ID and cash (separated from each other), checkbook, keys (with 2 car keys separated from one another one key chain with house keys and one with work keys), and cell phone. So just the basics, all fits in regular pockets except the Surge and Glock which are in belt holsters and the cell phone that is in a cell phone pouch with clip that I attach to the left front pocket. Sometimes a wrist watch. Sometimes a Kimber compact 1911. Oh, and usually a travel mug with coffee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Pronounced VY-eena down here) Smoked or kippered herring and a can of Viennas- I don't like sardines. I even grabbed an extra packet of hot sauce from down at the local chicken shack to go with them. There's also a can of Chunky soup (one of the potato soups since they eat good cold) and a small can of pineapple rings in the truck, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

irish ike, SASS #43615 Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 Every vehicle has a flashlight, first aid kit, rain poncho, and one of those shiny blanket thingy's, and two bottles of water. Me, pocket knife, fancy card holder, keys, extra magazine. And cash! Hard to buy gas/food/etc. if the lines are down and you can't use your cards! I stopped carrying a wallet about 2 years ago. The card holder also protects the cards from scanners and magnets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawdog Dago Dom Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 This little device caused me to chow down on a 3 course meal of crow. Shortcake is a big fan, if not a sponsor, of QVC. I routinely razz her about the merchandise (crap in guy-speak) that rolls into the house. Until recently. This gadget is called a HALO, and it works as advertised. It has enough juice for 250 jump starts, can power a small appliance, laptop, cell phones, etc. This one even inflates tires. Recharge it with car or house current. It jumped started our van in below zero weather and inflated out tire in Iowa in July. She bought one for her brother. He was just caught in Gulf Shores, Alabama during the hurricane. The little HALO brought them power to keep a few things running until they could get out. Seeing is believing, and I have seen. And learned to shut up about QVC. All the kids have these in their cars now. Soda can is for scale only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El CupAJoe Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 besides knives, gun(s) keys and cards, I have a fountain pen and notebook. Leatherman Rebar with the Leatherman bit adapter kit and ceramic rod. Magnifying glass that can start a fire (I have two, I wear them on my face, they do start fires if the conditions are correct)… headphones, flashlight, phone, extra .357 Mag ammo, wedding ring, sometimes an extra flashlight.

Ramblin Gambler Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 Surprising that as many people carry a tape measure as there are people who carry a flashlight. At least there was till I got here cause I carry a flashlight and no tape. Other than that, a knife and if I can, a gun. Sometimes I have my big set of keys which has tweezers, screwdrivers, and a bottle opener on the key ring. I also usually carry ear plugs because of how often I've wound up seeing a movie when the volume was too loud. My hearing is bad enough as it is, i don't fool around with that anymore. I carry a tally book but not usually a pen unless I expect to have something worth tallying because too many pens blew up on me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chili Ron Posted September 18, 2020 Author Share Posted September 18, 2020 Howdy, Fisher astronaut pen. I have one in my glove box. Ive had it for years. Never blown. Writes in sub zero. Writes over butter whatever. These are available for the widest range of price you can imagine. The cheapest is a stick style with a cap. And they offer a rainbow of INK colors. Did you want red or burgundy or silver? I bought the plastic pen with matching ink. Or mix and match. How can you pass on a BULLET pen? And get your alias on it for free(many models)?
