    Default Personal Items/Tools?

    Anybody have any particular items that they carry around with them, or use on a regular basis? Not necessarily multi-tools, just an odd piece they have? I only ask because I have a firing pin out of an old French MAS-49 that I carry with me. It's harder than woodpecker lips, tip is smooth, and works great as a punch, marlinspike, and odd tool. You could probably use it as a small kerambit if you chose. The thing I like about it is that people don't generally look twice at it, after the initial curiosity is done.

    I also keep a P-38 can opener and a small set of sharp tweezers on my dog tag chain.

    I carry the P38 but think I will start carrying the tweezers, I am sure they come in handy.

    I have a P51 opener (on my grimloc on my belt loop) a little bigger than the P38 for these old hands. Also have a "dillo" from LaRue, short screwdrivers & widgy prybar from countycomm.

    When I go on backpack hikes, I always take the best peice of military equipment ever invented. The E-Tool! That thing is built like an anvil and is versatile. I can go from digging a fighting position to hacking off a zombie head without even adjusting the angle!

    Wow, you really go with the bare minimum...I think that's pretty dangerous
