I don't have a bag. I carry everything I need in my pockets.
ReplyDeleteSmall Buck stockman knife, Zippo lighter (with USMC emblem), keys, checkbook, card case, wallet. then a pancake holster for my 1911 and a single mag pouch.
Why in the world do you have outside calipers?
Work keys, cell phone charger, LED flashlight, back up pistol & spare magazine, pen & pencil, small mirror, fingernail clipper.
ReplyDeleteUmbrella, address book, food tablets, assorted spare USB cables for multiple devices.
So... umm... aside from the 'Unapproved' stamp, whats the Calipers for? :)
ReplyDeleteSo whats in my Satchel? Nothing! I have a 7 mintue walk to work. Yay me!
Okay, I'll stop now...
MUT, pistol, mags, Streamlight, wheel book, pen, Kershaw folder, little Victronix, spare key.
ReplyDeleteI carry an Octa Versipack from Maxpedition all day, every day. I just emptied it and it contained: XDM 3.8 45 Compact. Two extra mags. Buck model 110 knife. Smith's knife sharpener. Compact LED flashlight. My wallet. 800 mg of ibuprofen. A set of small nylon, one time handcuffs. (gifted to me by a Nevada State Trooper) Fingernail clippers. Four toothpicks. An Idaho deer tag. (required to accompany the venison on the trip home) A flash drive I forgot about. And a hundred dollar bill concealed deep in an inner pocket. And a small bic lighter.
ReplyDeleteIt's spooky when you start adding it up.
Wallet, work ID, S&W Mod. 642 and reload, cell phone, off-brand folding knife, Surefire light, pen, keys. Never leave home without all of these things.
ReplyDeleteI'm curious about those old skeleton keys, myself.

ReplyDeleteOMG please tell me what the calipers in your bag are for...
Bob - they belong to a friends 100 plus year old home he bought. We're trying to figure out what all they open. I just threw those in there wondering if someone would notice. Good eye!
ReplyDeleteCond0010 - :-)
Bridgid - Barkley bought them, complaining that the bones I was bringing home from the butcher didn't meet the BBS (Barkley Bone Standard)
Rev Paul - as usual I forgot, pen and hairbrush.
Stephen - Dad always impressed on me to carry a $50 (now $100) in a clip or tucked in the wallet for emergency. When I go home, he always makes sure I have it as he gave me my first first one.
Were you a voluntary phrenologist for voters with obvious signs of masochistic statism?
ReplyDeleteThose calipers are bit small for much else.
I just played this game myself. It really doesn't change much amongst the gunbloggers... all the things a civilized person needs.
ReplyDeleteLaptop, accessories, HP calculator, and ungraded undergrad lab assignments.
ReplyDeleteI try not to procrastinate the grading, I swear.
As with Robert Fowler, I don't carry a bag.
ReplyDeleteLoose fit (e.g. old man) Wranglers, containing cellular telephone, keys, speed strip(s),keys, wallet, S&W electroless nickel 442 revolver, baggie with daily meds.
I look like I'm wearing Depends (filled).
I do generally wear a long-sleeve overshirt (to keep the skin cancer gremlins away)over a colored t-shirt (as additional concealment for the crap in my pockets, or in case it's cool enough to carry the 5" 1911) And, of course, spare magazine on my belt if so doing.
Can't be too careful!
