At which Preparedness Level do you roll?

Just curious what the distribution looks like.

If your exact situation is not described, pick the closest one.

If you like, comment as to why you're at that level.

Loool. That's gonna be interesting. Yeah, I can't find myself there and maybe I even chose the wrong category :facepalm:

But overall, I've got

- a folder on my belt/somewhere on me
- a classic in my organizer
- a PS4 / Cadet in my pocket


So I chose level 6 :think:

Level 4 was closest for me (but it is a small MT in my pocket and MTs stashed around house and in both vehicles)

This is kinda difficult. Maybe having different points attributed to different tools and summing up the total.

EDC (and I do mean every day):
Small SAK + LedLenser + Paracord + folder/bigger SAK

That puts me in 4 +/-.

I've been looking at that Victorinox Hunter XT for ages to use as a bigger SAK/folder and can't get myself to buying one :think:

I'm wondering if that serrated blade is good for... being a serrated blade, lol. It's called a knife for skinning or something and don't have the slightest intention to use it for this, so I don't know if this other blade will get me any job done.

When I say bigger I mean 91mm or 111mm. Climber or Spartan, usually. The 111 only when outdoors.

I voted 5.  It doesn't actually describe what I do, but I go back and forth between 4 and 6, so I took the average :)

I will always have a SAK in my pocket, and usually a small-ish MT as well (Style PS, Skeletool, Mini, PST I/II, etc.).  But I also keep a Super Tool or Surge in my vehicle.

High score, so far!  :tu:

A SAK in my pocket, and plenty of other SAKs, MTs, tactical folders, flashlights, etc. around the house and in the car. So somewhere between 3 and 4.

Yep, 6.

Remember, more is not necessarily better. For example, lower on the scale = more comfortable, and depending on your situation, anything more would not necessarily help you more.
