I live in a rural area. A True Nord compensated compass is on my watch band. Key ring has Maratec Ti widgy bar, handcuff key, whistle, single AAA Maratec personal LED illuminator, Mil-K-818 removable from flatgate snap link. Leatherman Super Tool on belt. Colt DS in El Paso Saddlery C-force IWB holster. Two Tuff Strips in back pockets.
