There is a round piece of metal you can see in pic 4 under my pinky that is bothersome. Not sure what that's for , not a fire starter. I took off the watch that came on it and put my LL Bean field watch on instead.

as soon as you use the paracord in an emergency (if that's what it is really for) you have to carry all that stuff in your pocket and might loose them. Better to have a few of things for an emergency in a little belt pouch (inc. some paracord) ;)
