love it, not a bad list at all Jeff.

I'm too paranoid to leave the house - but if I did I would add to that list, one concealed dagger, one fighting knife and loop saw (garrote) in car under seat, one razor-sharp spyderco folder in pocket for touchy-feely reassurance. No true paranoid would ever leave the house without 'em! And you forgot the maglite (and spare batteries and bulbs), snake-bite kit and a big book to read while waiting for the RACV, NRMA or equivalent because the car is SURE to break down on such an important journey!

hahaha thats classic. I dont even own 2/3 of that gear

That describes Kevin and me , to his credit he keeps most of his gear on his belt now . Steve

I have to admit to wearing the Batman belt, actually Fatman belt.
Well if you have a bigger waistline you can fit more gear on it......I have a fair bit on mine but have used it all and never been in the situation where I did not have what I need. I do wear the same belt/kit for paddock walking, field, target and clout......it always amuses me quietly when target folk look at your fold knife multitool then wonder why you have a drop point sheath knife.....even that comes in handy for deep [someone else's] point extraction.

I used to bring along a wheel along huge tool box to help compound archers at the club repair gear...I now offer them the use of a longbow or point them in the direction of the shed....I reckon if you cannot fix it easily yourself you have got problems. I will help if I can but why would they think a longbower would know anything about a compound bow? It cracks me up when I get asked if I am carrying Allen keys...that is a fractured piece of unthought out hopefullness but does not happen with a longbower.
