Basic Setup
« on: September 24, 2008, 02:51:47 AM »



I'm actually missing a whistle in the above picture. This is my basic setup of gear that I have at all times. I keep it on a nice lanyard that isn't shown in the picture. Yes, that is a custom made titanium fid that was gifted to me. I can't live without it.  :D

A tool used (mainly on boats) to help untie knots in rope. I use it for all kinds of things.

Here's mine. Yes that's the firesteel you sent me.  :) Have many other stuff in pocket but since you only showed keychain I'll do the same.

A Leatherman Squirt E4 has joined this setup (at least some of the time).

Yep my set up's pretty similar to the rest of you...

Farmer, Streamlight Keymate, Ferro rod, Wenger Clippers and a spy capsule full of cotton wool tinder :)

An overlarge & somewhat blunt awl type tool, excellent for all sorts of pokery. (and, I suppose, if absolutely necessary, ropework)

I didn't know what a "fid" was either!

sometimes I switch out the spartan with the Farmer.
a small firesteel is a good idea, I'll have to get one ;)
