Today,
Same knife at least!
Grabbed the 10mm, as it was right there and it was cool enough this morning that I didn't need an IWB rig.

What’s in the blue box?Originally Posted by Lost River
Today looked pretty different than the last couple days and back to more normal (for me), which is Glocks and 1911s mostly.
As they say though. " The mission drives the gear" and if the day calls for revolvers and testing I just roll with it. Today was just a regular day, so a plain old 1911 worked fine.

It is my wallet.
Called a dive wallet. Just a little waterproof box. Been using them for years. I break the hinge or clasp on one every 4-5 years or so, but they are not expensive. They come in various sizes for credit cards, passports, etc. I used to travel a lot and just got used to using one and been doing it ever since. Keep my cash in a money clip and cards in the dive wallet.
Thanks for showing me something I didnt realize I needed until I saw it.
Not as much in average life, though theres times id use it, but when going in for med stuff where they expect you to get into their weird gown things. I show up in t shirt, scrubs bottoms and flip flops, with ID, med card, $20 and maybe small SAK in a small plastic bag. This simplifies and improves it.
If you croak out in the hills when a bear eats you or killer bunnies or whatever, your ID should be in good shape if they ever find you. Made of win.
“Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure, than to take rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in the gray twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat.”
― Theodore Roosevelt

Ironically Malamute the last part is also one of the reasons I carry one. I spend a ton of time alone in the mountains, deserts, etc. Keeping my ID in a waterproof plastic carrier may just make identifying my body that much easier.
One time I actually took a picture on my camera of me (my face) in a really bad storm I got caught in elk hunting. The temps dropped so fast and the wind was blowing so hard that when I got into a little draw and up into some trees I realized that was a mistake. The tree branches were freezing and popping off and falling. It was ugly. I can't remember the exact temps, maybe around 10 or zero but then it dropped about 20-30 degrees in 30 minutes in the storm. I can't remember the numbers. I figure it was 20-30 below, who knows what the wind chill was. I actually ran into two massive, truly rare mule deer bucks. The type you only get a shot at once in a lifetime. They were close, and looked at me and could care less. They wanted out of the storm too.
I tried to get pics of the conditions but the camera could not do it justice:
I took a picture of me in the storm before I got down behind a couple big boulders and away from the trees.
I considered that if I froze to death that I didn't want someone thinking I did something dumb, and the pics would show the storm. Finally it passed and I headed down off the mountain. Really didn't snow too much, just nasty winds, and bad temps that are typical for the region, which has often been the coldest part of the lower 48.
I was very glad to get down off the steep stuff though. Came out not far from a cattle ranch and was not paying too much attention to much other than my own two feet when I crossed fresh coyotes tracks. I realized they could not be 2-3 minutes old. Coyotes and cattle are a bad combo especially with calving season coming up. I looked and sure enough he had to have walked right past me. He was trotting looking over his shoulder, so I popped the scope caps up, threw the bipod legs down, went prone and could just barely see him but guessed 300 ish, so I sent a single 300 wm round his way. At the recoil he disappeared. I had no idea if I hit him as he was just going out of sight.
I followed his tracks and sure enough, the bullet had found home.
Long version of saying that yep, I keep my ID in there for the same reason!
Thanks. Just wondered. I keep one attached to my PFD for my keys when kayaking. Never really thought of other uses.It is my wallet.

I like Malamutes idea to for hospital appointments
Cold here today.
Good day for a big gun and heavy bullets!

And the home of the wolf shall be my home - Robert Service
