My wife sometimes refers to my "Batman belt" because of everything I have on there. Cell phone, measuring tape, keys on retractable line, Gerber, CPR microshield are with me every day. Also my four pockets contain notebook & pen, wallet, Kershaw folding knife, and Kel-tec P3AT.

If I'm not careful at the urinal, my pants fall to my ankles.

I carry a flashlight too and atleast 3 extra mags and a P32. My pants are heavy to say the least.

I like the avatar.. More fitting than purple sheets!!

thanks boris. i sometimes carry a flashlight too, but i dont have a belt sheath for it, just tuck it in my pocket. my butt is so wide that if i have too much stuff on my belt, i cant fit in my car seat.

i want one of the ones with the knife, but dont know as i like the idea of taiwan made items. china is out of the question

however the axes without accessories built in are made in finland... the land of trees and cheese. thinking about getting one of these.

any yall out there have thoughts or experience

What about something like a Bowie knife. It will chop wood, skin your critter, and defend you against almost anything. With this tool you don't need to carry anything else.

i have a bowie already.

and a skinner
