In the front two exterior pockets, the sewing kit fits in on the left and the Knipex fits in the right.
It’s basically a mini commonly used hardware and medication pouch. I use fishing line for sewing in situations where I need strong thread, and I have various size needles in there too. The Altoids Smalls tin has a few of my most commonly used medication for me and my family. The Rolaids are for my heartburn unfortunately.
This is like an episode of MacGyver
Literally came here to comment, “Are you guys going on some kind of MacGyver-style adventures that are wholly unnoticeable by the rest of us?” I suspect the answer is yes.
…Wait, you’re not? How boring your life must be.
Every day can be an episode of MacGyver if you try hard enough.
I can hear the theme song now.
10lbs of fishing line, all in that pocket? That’s impressive 😉
I’m pretty sure they mean 10lbs test fishing line.
Thanks bonehead…
I have some of that stuff in my bike’s pannier, but I don’t know why I’d want it on my person. Today it’s just keys, phone, wallet, a surgical mask, and a hand towel (Tokyo be sweaty and humid)
I actually just got back from buying an incredible hand towel in Tokyo. Never thought I’d carry a handkerchief but you’re not lying it is WET here
What are some usecases for the mini-Knipex?
That steel wire is lovely. I keep seeing people with pliers, thinking “why?” then ending up in a situation that could be fixed with pliers… My scissors usually suffice though.
it was the steel wire for me too.
@tonystark29 why do you carry them?
I carry galvanized wire, the kind that’s just a single strand, in my vehicle’s tool bag. Along with some pliers it can do a whole lot more than rope or string. Binds things super tight. I can fix a fence, animal carrier, tons of things on a vehicle or structure… it’s obviously not the best fix for most things, but it’s adequate to solve an astonishing amount of problems, especially if you carry a couple screws. Harbor freight sells it in convenient little rolls for around a dollar.
