You can also make the paracord into a braclet, or other handy tool, and clip in on the outside of the bag. i.e. - http://www.survivalstraps.com/ , or make your own.

[mrsleeve]

The major things I want to carry will be:
...

If your going to be in the filed a bunch, I really suggest TP (just enough for a couple of uses in a sandwich bag), Some Tape (I dont keep any since I have Rolls of the shit on my truck), Dry socks and Band-aids. In a pinch TP and Tape can be used for bad cuts. and a keep a tube of supper glue in your 1st aid kit, again that all fits in a sandwich bag. (band aids, little tube of Neosporin, supper glue and butterfly strips)

I thought of something totally different when I read the first two words of the title lol.

[Optimator]

17. Bear mace (better than a little peashooter against bears, if you're in bear country)
18. Wolf urine (for when you go to the bar afterwards and have to attract a classy lady)
19. Four briquettes of C4 on timers and also remotes in case you have to scuttle a vessel or create a diversion while surveying and a group of hostiles crest a hill on your position
20. Roll of $20 bills to bribe locals for information. I suggest $500 max, otherwise just pull out a weapon and obtain information through force
21. Epi-pen, when you get a mortal injury and you need to make one last lunge at someone with your 4.5" blade in order to preserve your honor

17. Bear mace (better than a little peashooter against bears, if you're in bear country) Shit works too, Ask Jack Hanna, he had to use a bottle up in Glacier this summer while filming a tv add for bear spray. When I am at home hiking in bear country You dont carry a Pea shooter, its a magnum revolver and bear spray!!!

18. Wolf urine (for when you go to the bar afterwards and have to attract a classy lady)
Wolf piss stinks and is over kill. I just use my own piss, its so powerfull that a little behind the ears and Blunt wont be able to resist you Ovulator, I can have 2oz shipped to you for $250 oz

19. Four briquettes of C4 on timers and also remotes in case you have to scuttle a vessel or create a diversion while surveying and a group of hostiles crest a hill on your position
Well yeah never can be too prepared, but fertilizer and diesel fuel is easier to come by and more available and has more than 1 use.

20. Roll of $20 bills to bribe locals for information. I suggest $500 max, otherwise just pull out a weapon and obtain information through force
No when you bribe local officials, that pisses off the feds then you go to jail. The stack of bills is for hookers and Blow.

21. Epi-pen, when you get a mortal injury and you need to make one last lunge at someone with your 4.5" blade in order to preserve your honor
What are we Klingon's ?????? Epi-pen is for bee stings man, or other allergic reactions to the mushrooms you were sure were safe to eat for lunch.

Being in the field for me usually means in a factory or manufacturing plant...those things may be handy, but would likely be over kill for me.

I may add some ty-wraps to my bag though, but the paracord seems like a more universal solution.

When the world ends, And toughing it out is required, I will take mrsleeve on my team.

Ahhh I see, was under the impression you were a Civil E or surveyor or something. Still Tape and TP should be in your bag. Never ever go anywhere with out TP. Its one of those modern things you dont ever want to be caught with out in a unexpected call of nature. I have gone into the corn field or the Box culvert under the Highway fully clothed and come out Sans socks and shirt sleeves, one time the whole shirt too.

When the world ends, And toughing it out is required, I will take mrsleeve on my team.

Deal, so long as I get a say who else is on the team since we are choosing up sides already.........................

I carry a Maxpedition Jumbo fairly regularly...though my CCW + 1 extra mag stays in a IWB holster. I don't like the idea of carrying a gun off the body, for a myriad of reasons. If I think it is important enough to carry a gun (which I do 24/7) it is important enough to be physically on my person.

BTW - I've been in the tactical business for a day or two now (Marine Infantry/later firearms instructor, now part-time law-enforcement instructor) and probably 70-80% of Blachawk's more popular designs over the years have been blatant made-in-Vietnam rip-offs of products designed by American small businesses.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I Agree with you on the carry thing, But with my job its nearly 100% impossible to carry all day. that and really not supposed to have a gun on most of the projects I work and can get run off for it. . Not that 99% of all the welders and inspectors dont have them in their rigs too. The last one I was on was cool though, me, the chief inspector, Welder foreman, Contractor Supper, and the gas company rep, were all having a little fun with CCW's and a pizza box after lunch one day, after consulting the gas company regs that firearms were not allowed on the job. I toss it in my bag so I dont have to leave it in my hotel room and have the whole case come up missing or leave it in my personal truck when working and have the same happen to it while parked at a hotel.

You got me with Rape whistle :rofl: and then Bear Grylls
