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.

      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.

    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

    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.

        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.
