Do you have a knife? I got my pants on don’t I
Haha, yes! Later in life, my Dad used to carry a tile knife — Dickies work pants with deep pockets.
My Dad was a WWII combat veteran and career Army. When we were stationed in Germany during the Cold War, he kept his helmet, web gear, and 1911 sidearm in the entryway closet shelf. The dependents had to have one packed suitcase for everyone in case of evacuation.
