Viva la EDC ........
Yeah I kinda wear my kit.... 550 cord boot laces, pistol, small toggles that are fire steels with holes drilled in em are laced into my boot. They are about a half inch long yet will throw a spark in a pinch.
...... I had a couple of platinum buttons made for clothing and on my Filson hooded raincoat to use as emergency cash if needed. A very sharp shrade stockman 3 blade for fine surgical needs and a Gerber full sized Sykes Fairbain folder that is also scary sharp. A Glock 31 w 3 spare magazines of 125gr Speer GDHP and a Ankle rig one of our parachute riggers made for us that holds a SW 317-3 .22 revolver and 50 spare stingers.
My Filson hooded raincoat has gloves, hat, under armor inferno insulation layer and spare socks.
There is a way to walk into the wild with skills . Nothing in hand except knowledge yet the older I get the more I’m comfortable knowing I have shelter, food, water, and security WITH me....:o)
So I have an emergency ruck in each vehicle . Each bag is identical, lightweight and full of gear that is multiple purpose and can sustain me and mine for a long long time when one adds in and stirs experience and knowledge.....
Wuss’n out in my old age I guess...LOL !!
Stay safe !!
