If anyone is still interested in what to carry with a SAK, one of the best combos I ever carried was a Victorinox Mountaineer paired with a Leatherman Sidekick. The Mountaineer has a decent file / metal saw, and scissors, while the Sidekick has a pretty good one hand opening knife blade and a wood saw. Not a lot of redundancy or wasted space there. 
I would love to carry a Sidekick (or Wingman) but alas - UK+EDC = Non starter (mostly)

Yes. Nate is correct. The shackle key cut out on the Myerchin blades is a good thumb hole once you get used to the shape. Here's another shot of my second generation plain edge and my first gen partially serrated with a fixed blade version. A word of caution, however, is if you're looking for a used Myerchin rigging knife they do not extend any warranty coverage if you're not the original owner. So, if you buy it on E-Bay, and it breaks, you'll just have to buy another one.

I scrubbed the boil over that was on the side of the pot. For all you clean freaks out there. A secondary cooking method is a necessity here. Bad weather knocks out the electrics. As a matter of fact, power will be off for a while tomorrow and Saturday to let Duke fix some stuff. Probably have to cook on the thing tomorrow too.
You learn how to use one of the folding stoves economically. Heat up some water for the tea. Then use the same pot to cook something. After that you put some water in the pot and heat that up with a daub of soap for cleanup. The propane stoves are a generation ahead of the old fashioned pump up Coleman rigs.
I can't recommend those candle lighters/ long nose butane things highly enough for firing off your stove. Best wishes. G

My set is more "normal people friendly" (not when I carry the Benchmade Mini Claymore, which is getting carried a lot)

Scary, did I say that already?

Congrats on the badge Gary! We have a little Coleman stove that we haven't tried out yet. Need to give it a go.
