What's In Your Pockets

A couple of times a year I receive a gift certificate from work for bithday and x-mas. I have been using this and sometimes throwing in a little extra to buy some sort of knife or multitool. Something to pass on to kids type thing. Already had a small assortment of knives but I have five kids so need a little bigger stockpile plus I like knives and it's a good excuse to get more. Last one purchased was a victorinox tinker. My father always said you should never go anywhere without a pocket knife and at least a little change in your pocket. I think you can tell a lot about someone by what's in their pockets. I keep a wide assortment of things in my pack, which is with me every day all day and which I will discuss later(will also discuss the contents inside my jeep later) but I also seem to keep my pockets pretty loaded down at times. Pocket knife, belt clip knife clipped inside other pocket, a little paracord, beeswax lip balm, very small non-breakable pill bottle (contents undisclosed), tiny prybar. Key ring has keys, safety pins, mini pushbutton light, small victorinox and extra hair ties for my girls wrapped on the caribeaner(spelling ?, havn't figured out edit on my cell yet) Also cell phone, bandana in back pocket, wallet in other back pocket and usually a leatherman surge on belt. What does this say about me? This is not a new thing for me from getting into reading survival blogs. My family always made fun of me for doing this but it seemed to come in handy on more than one occasion. Wonder what my son Gus has in his pockets on his 6th birthday today. Happy 6 big ones G! Live it all-
