What do you have on you at the moment?

So, the question is this: What equipment do you have on you at the moment?

Denim shorts and a polo shirt. I hope my fantasy world is warm. And doesn't have pointy stuff on the ground, 'cause I'm barefoot...

Now, with a 10 minute warning, I'm in pretty darned good shape. But this instant, not so much.

I guess it'll be relying on the years of Boy Scout training to get me through... :)

jeans, longjohns, wool socks, teeshirt, flannel shirt, wallet w/misc credit cards & no cash, leather belt, glasses, platinum wedding ring, keys, chapstick. Leather "moccasin" style house slippers, rubber soled.

Standard indoor dress for me from October - April, except when I'm sleeping.

I've pretty much lost the habit of carrying a jackknife or belt knife, but I may take it up again - depends what Xmas brings this year. And I never smoked, so the lighter is in the glove box of my truck.

If I were lucky, I'd be taken at work, with my tool pouch. The tape measure ain't much, but a 22 oz framing hammer and utility knife might come in handy.

I probably can't recreate gunpowder, and I've got no martial training, but I could probably make a "modern" horse collar.
 


At the right moment earlier today:

1 Glock 19 semi-automatic pistol with a loaded 15-round magazine
1 Ruger .357 magnum and a box of .38 Special rounds

Oh, and jeans and a polo.

Nah, you're not safe. You'd probably be mysteriously healed in the crossing-over. That's how these things work, you know.

Yeah, I thought of that as I was clicking 'Submit Reply' but I guess it was too much to ask for that maybe, just MAYBE, no one would think of that.

Hmmm, I should write a novella which starts off super interesting and gets the reader addicted to the book, and then BAM! Asthma attack, dead, and that's the end of the story.

P.S. I think you meant to say 'Nah, you're safe' as opposed to NOT safe. ;)
 

Right now... a T-Shirt, Kackie Pants, Underwear, Socks, a green and yellow belt, a Keychain with a half dozen assorted keys plus a small swiss army knife, my cell phone, a couple bucks in change, chapstick, a lighter, a wallet with my debit card, credit card, a few other assorted ID and membership cards, recipts, a cupon for 2 bucks off a subway sandwich...

Of course I'm Canadian so I might be able to pass off my change as archaic gold peices. You Americans would be stuck with silver and a few funny looking peices of paper :p.
 

Just standing around:
Athletic shoes
Two folding (but locking) knives
Keys
Sturdy all leather belt
Ink pen
Wallet with ID, cash, receipts, etc etc
Pocket change
Bluejeans and shirt
Denim jacket or black trenchcoat (or navy peacoat if it's really cold)
Analog/digital watch (with indiglo!)
Cell phone with camera

If I have my backpack with me:
Whetstone for knives
Paper and pencil (and index cards)
Solar calculator
Toothbrush and toothpaste
Mini-stapler
MP3 player

If at home:
Add a bunch of gaming books and a .45 semi-automatic pistol and a few hundred rounds of highly... effective... ammo. Oh, and a slinky. And my sword. And the wife's spiked mace. And a one-eyed black cat. Oh yeah, and a set of meteorite dice.
 

I whould only have my T-shirt and light shorts, underwear underneath. I generally wear shorts indoors, and no shoes. I dislike carrying things in my pockets but I do so anyway, just not when I'm at home. Also, I wear glasses nearly 24X7X365 so I whould probably be at an even greater disadvantage. I never liked the movies where the modern character is pulled into the past.

Yeah, we CERTAINLY don't have any gold $1 coins down here with a certain native american woman and her papoose-bound baby on them......
