Wildcard: This one goes to whoever I want to give it to for whatever reason I feel like. It will be a grab bag donated by yours truly. The exact makeup is TBD depending on what I have lying around  and may include books, gear, medical stuff or even a couple silver dimes. ($30+  value)

Check out the details and my example post here. 

 Onto Entry #19

Hi,

this is a picture of the things I carry every single day, minus my belt but the belt is always a leather belt nothing special about it.

I always carry the little .38 s&w caliber revolver because it is so small, not much bigger than my wallet. It is old but very reliable and will save me or others in a pinch, close range only it is a gut gun after all. I would carry a bigger weapon but my job just would not allow for holsters or obvious weapons being carried, this one fits in a pants pocket and no one is the wiser that I have it. I always carry my Barlow pocketknife and I keep it sharp. I also have my wallet with all the regular wallet stuff in it plus a list of allergy's and medicines I take and a small piece of duct tape on it. I always carry at least two ink pens, they differ daily because I lose them and grab new ones. The little blue notebook is esential for me, I love to keep track of things or jot down ideas I have and I use up two of them a year, transposing important info from the old to the new one. I carry a magnesium fire starter that has a can opener attached to it. My old cell phone, I also carry a work cell phone in a holster on my belt. My key ring with only daily used keys on it and a caribener attached. Oh, and some lose change.

I am a field technician servicing large copiers, in my truck I keep two small first aid kits and one emergency survival kit in an altoid tin. PLus my tool box and a few water bottles, that's it for me, nothing special except for maybe the pistol. I own several of these old revolvers and reload the ammo, I found that my children love to shoot them because of the low recoil and minor noise. I know I would have to be very close to hit a threat with it, but it is a gut gun after all...

Thanks for the contest...

Mike
