Raylan Posted July 30 Author Share Posted July 30 No jack on me, but I do have a 4 way lug wrench in the trunk so I don't have to use the light weight one that came with the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpo Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 You routinely carry three sets of car keys, two knives and two flashlights? 3 knives if you count the Leatherman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back when dirt was young and so was I, very early in my induction into the Lights & Siren Brigade, we ran combos -- combination hearse/ambulance -- had a flat. The "light weight one that came with the car" had a stamped steel socket to fit the lugs. It split wih the first twist and was instantly useless. Lucky enough we were near station, another employee was a Good Ole Boy with a well stocked toolbox in his pickup truck. Half inch drive socket and a breaker bar and I got the job done. Comments omitted about not taking off my white uniform coat before starting the job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt. C.J. Sabre, SASS #46770 Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 Big Mouth, of course when I'm out of the house, Victorinox Tinker in my left front pocket, Lockblade knife and spare mag in left rear pocket, keys in right front pocket, and wallet in right rear. The Kershaw clips into the back of my right boot. Rechargeable flashlight, (plugged in) in both vehicles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raylan Posted July 30 Author Share Posted July 30 1 hour ago, Alpo said: You routinely carry three sets of car keys, two knives and two flashlights? 3 knives if you count the Leatherman. Yep, carry extra car keys for primary vehicle as over the decades have had occasion where keys have been lost or stupidly locked in a car. 3rd set is to secondary vehicle and might as well have them if decide to use it or need to. Leatherman is primarily used as first pliers, second screwdriver, third saw or scissors - the knife is usable but not handy to me. The smaller knife is for use cutting boxes or around polite company, the larger for larger tasks and an option for self-defense. The two flashlights are because one is a primary powerful one and one is a backup that runs on common batteries as I've had them accidently get clicked on in my pocket and just be struck with no light and a dead battery. All very doable with a good belt and cargo pants. The only things there that I haven't used regularly or at least fairly often are the Rat tourniquet, the pepper spray, and the Glock 43x.

My be out 3 hours or 24. Out on bad roads in all kinds of weather, so learned to just have what I need on me or in car. Emergency med kit, extra clothing, extra batteries, charging cords, jumper cables, scoop shovel, snacks, water. Just at home all day don't have much at all. Will cut some out once retired, if I get that chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 Colt .38 Detective Special on my belt (with three six round speed loaders), a Colt Gov't Model .380 and a Star M-34 Firestar 9mm in the dash (both with even rounds in the gun and four spare seven round mag), a 1911 .45 in the pocket behind the passenger seat (with a seven round mag in the gun and 6 spare mags of 7 rounds each). I have 3 folding knives of different sizes and a 4 1/2" lever lock switchblade, all in different pockets. A flash light and an emergency flasher, a small first aid kit, a Mylar survival blanket, and a small tool kit in the trunk. Life Alert GPS gizmo, a credit card wallet I got from Timu...handy gadget... and a small (50 ft) spool of paracord. Sun glasses and a spare pair of my prescription glasses. Two pair of clean socks and two pair of clean skivvies, and in the winter I throw an extra pair of boots in the trunk and a warm hat and a pair of gloves. At least four 17 oz. bottles of water, each with a pack of Propel in it, a two day supply of my meds, several cafe size sugar packs, and a number of salt packs. A note pad and a couple for pens, a pocket watch and a small compass. All of this is in my car or on my person. I almost always have at least $200.00 in my pocket. The rest is on a "just in case" basis Two hickory canes, jacket suitable to the weather that gets rotated when the weather changes. If I'm going to be very far from home I have a 1895 Winchester copy in .30-40 U.S. Krag with a box of25 rounds. Most of this extraneous stuff goes in a canvas tote sack and a small back pack. I probably won't ever need most of it, but If I need to leave my car I can get by. It's getting to the time of year when I'm going to make a pound of pemmican and wrap it smll wax paper cubes the size of old fashioned caramel candy. EDC? NO WAY I could carry all that, but most of it's almost always in reach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackwater 53393 Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 Para Ordinance 13-45, every day, all day long. Spare 20 round magazines in each of the vehicles along with a Sure Fire flashlight and sufficient tools to handle small emergencies. I don’t carry a knife anymore! The last one I had was given to a guy who really didn’t want it in a way that I’m sure he won’t forget. If I need more than 34 rounds of .45 acp to extricate myself from a bad situation, I figure that my survival will depend on The Good Lord… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL I have used everything there on many occasions except the gun, pepper spray, and tourniquet and I hope that streak continues. Having been acquainted with victims of murder and violence I choose to take prudent steps to maintain my security and safety. 90% of those steps are awareness and avoidance of people and situations.

I try to avoid people most times anyway. But yes, if you keep your eyes open, and NOT on your phone, you can usually avoid problems. Same thing in traffic.
