Important items to carry with you on your person.

In my youth my pockets had all sorts of junk in them from nuts and bolts to shot gun cartridges but one thing I always had was a 10mm spanner. Being into all things wheeled it came in very useful.
Nowadays it’s only my mobile.

Can't undo many nuts with a mobile!

Always amazes me that my carry on luggage doesn't come under more scrutiny when we fly. As I always carry in the bottom of my bag, two rolls of duck tape (one orange and one grey), a roll of electrical insulation tape (black). three different lengths of cable ties (Red, white and black) and a rolled up plastic carrier bag.

Sounds like a rape kit to me :ROFLMAO:

My medical bag (contains liquids and needles) is always thoroughly manually checked at departure.
It and my other carry on luggage always gets X-rayed at security on departure.

It is also sometimes X-rayed at arrival security.
On one occassion I was stopped going into Cuba because of the gun in my carry on!
They showed me the Xray image and sure enough there was a gun, clear as day.

They told me to slowly open the bag. With 3 customs officials; 2 Police men and a big guy in a suit all pointing their guns a me I did as I was told.
To reveal ... a set of door handles which I was taking in for my Godsons' parents.
All smiles (excecpt the big guy in the suit who looked disappointed that he wasn't allowed to shoot me) and hug and a fast track through the rest of the entry process..
 
Don't think ten mm spanners had been invented in my youth.....it was the new fangled AF replacing whitworth.....

Certainly always had a pocket knife at grammar school.... To sharpen pencils or whatever

I think I was 11 when my dad gave me my first knife. It was a bunny knife and I can’t remember what happened to it😢. I gave both my sons good Kershaw knifes when the were old enough. My dad still has his wee silver fruit knife with him where ever he goes. Hopefully it’ll be a while before I get it🙏.

I also used to carry a pen knife, I found it a very useful thing, especially as it happens I like fruit and mangoes are easier to eat when cut with a knife. I had to take it out of my bag due to flying!!!!
When travelling abroad I now buy a small, cheap sharp knife to use, then leave it in my hotel room. I wonder what they think.

Motorhome with solar. Loads of water. Think my first thoughts would be to head to Anglesey. Take out the bridge so they can’t get to the island. It would make sense that they would hang around highly populated areas for food source.
 
A few folds of toilet paper is handy, you just never know where it may blow.

If the Zombies are coming, you'll need a Zombie Knife, (if they haven't all been handed in!)

In Gatwick airport, I caused the luggage conveyor belt to be halted, loads of armed guards rushed up. My bag was held up and I had to admit that the portable gas cooker with a couple of blocks of marzipan ( to stop it rattling) did look a bit suspicious on the x-ray! I now put marzipan separately out of my hand luggage with phone etc. :ROFLMAO:

We are probably both on the watch list, and now that they've found a link between us they think we are a cell.

I’m assuming they have broken out of a high security facility on the mainland and are hanging around high populated areas as a food source.
If one or two have fancied a weekend on Anglesey it shouldn’t be too much trouble to ‘dispatch’ them with my Bear Grylls camping hatchet.
