Another gadget lost. I lost it the same way I lost my guppy knife - yanked out from the carabiner attached to my pant's belt loop. I should have learned my lesson the first time but I guess I'm so hard headed.
My car keys with the black clip that holds the ResQme tool.
How it was attached to the black clip.
The ResQMe tool. Read this post to find more about it.
Well now I will never attach a carabiner with my stuff on my belt loop ever again.
We're having a bit of unusual low temperature this fall. Its cool and winter-like at 30F-35F. In fact we just have a thin layer of snow fall about 3 weeks ago. Since early fall, I have winterized my car. Wool blanket, winter coat, sweater, space blanket, flashlight, food, I even have a stove and firewood in the trunk. Who knows when a blizzard could suddenly occur. Remember the rule of 3's? Three hours of exposure to the elements ... you die (in this case of hypothermia).
First snowfall this year.
I also checked my EDC kit and found out that some items need replacement like the petroleum coated cotton container and the leather lighter pouch. This is the kit that is in my pocket wherever I go.
The cap of the improvised container for the petroleum coated cotton is missing and need to be replaced probably with a new waterproof container.
The small leather pouch for the lighter had stretched and enlarged. The lighter is kept in the pouch by a tying a rubber band around it. This pouch needs to be replaced too. I may also replace the firesteel in preparation for the coming winter season.
