...raining here as i type,a little while ago while thinking about my gear bag,or get home bag, or bug out bag what ever ya call it,i simply call it my gear bag(Thanx Bullseye...lol...)got me curious about something !?...what actually is in there ?...
...i dumped it on the table...as with some of you i'm sure these things have a habit of becoming a 'catch-all' for various situations...a 'safe' spot,a spot to put things of vital importance when yer going about yer daily-daily...after sorting and filing the myriad of receipts,papers,and other non essential items,i took a moment to repack it...lol...theres that 'lost track of time thing' again...i thought a 'moment' to repack it,while i was playin' i heard "Now what are ya doin ?"..."Hurry up !"..."is this dam thing gonna take all day !?"...and finally,"Lets GO"...all in the stretch of what felt like a few minutes...it was considerably longer than that but...anyway,time flies when yer havin fun thing i guess...

What went back in was these:two pairs socks,two knives-fixed and folder,two spaceblankets,a compass,pad of paper&pencil,magnesium firestarter(these thing are cool),matches,two babybic lighters,small home made first-aid kit in a small snap lid tackle box...speaking of,i make my own kits,a few of them are store bought 'starter' kits,ones that i've added to,most are small tackleboxes that i converted...two spools of 100yd mono-4lb and 8lb,small bag of hooks and sinkers,small radio w/headfones,mini-mag flashlight,small LED flashlight,batteries for previous,a roll of electrical tape,bottle of water,water purification tabs,three bottles of the 5-hour power energy drinks,fourteen various 'foodbars'...a couple old fashioned granola bars,all the way up to a couple high calorie meal bars,these items get rotated pretty good as i use them during work when i can't grab a lunch...alot of salt and pepper packs(?cool),a few packs of juicyfruit chewin gum,a full size Leatherman,and a smaller imitation leatherman,small pistol cleaning kit,pistol and x-tra mags,and two dessicants(the kind i gotta put in the oven to 'recharge'(these things are cool too)...thats it...seems kinda...kinda...empty...

...suggestions welcome...
