Bear spray is effective stuff if used effectively.

I don't carry it every day but the Fluke t5-600 is one handy little piece of kit for troubleshooting electrical issues!

Are you guys like constantly duct-taping together a helicopter or something?

What's with the lock picks? How often are you picking locks?
It was a side job when I was in college and turned into a hobby of sorts over the years but with my properties and vacation rentals I find I am having to pick a lock at least a couple times a month if not more.


Hellcat is nice. Is that a pocket clip? You carry that chambered??
Yup, since they dont make a decent holster when you have the light/laser and optic the clip comes in clutch. I have the PRP trigger in it as well. Always carried with one in the pipe.

Yeah not really any holster options with that red dot and light installed.

Sounds sketchy. I am sure yer well trained - it goes IWB and not in a pocket right?

Blackpoint Tactical does for both the light and the sights, just FYI.

I use their OWB kydex and hybrid kydex/leather. I also think plenty of custom makers will provide. Raven's IWB clip style also covers the trigger with a positive engagement without a full holster.

I've been tempted to get a lock pick kit. Not cause I need one frequently or anything, but it seems like a handy skill to possess.

Recommendations?

If I'm driving the truck, this is what I'm packing. If I'm driving the car, I have the car key with fob and mail key. I keep the house key on the truck key so I have 2 keys per ring.

A lighter has come in handy more than a knife for me. It's a very old habit.

I pack a lighter in my bike tool kits.
