Hmmm.
I have learned that disagreeing with veedubber isn't to be undertaken
lightly.
I *habitually* carry a leatherman wave on my belt. It occasionally
gets me an odd look at a meeting, but I tell them that my dying father
bought it for me after 9/11 and asked me to carry it every day. I also
carry an LED flashlight and a small Swiss army knife on my keyring.
I can make fire with a fire bow and my shoelace, but I think I am going
to look at a little magnesium/flint firemaker for my keychain as well.
