For someone who is around the block, it turns into trading tools.
You don’t know when you look at my wardrobe, but I really try to hug minimalism these days. I look around the house and I think My goodness, to whom is it all? The truth says, most of it is mine.
As I’ve started going through the old boxes in the basement, Tools in the Garage, and yes, even my closet to see what stays and what gets donated or the next neighborhood yard, Dead Hands. Those staple should have the past to have you, you use it forever. Here is my list; What’s up with you?
PocketKnife
Unless I’m at work, there’s a pocketknife in my pocket. It is rare that one hour I did not open a package on Amazon, with the foil seal at the end of the new, or cutting tags in a piece of clothing. It’s been generally in my house my girls brought to walk saying, DAAHAAD, POCKETKNIFE! Because they know that I am me.
I have two pocketknives I use: one for camping and one for all all.
The Korshaw Wharf Pocket Pocket Knife, $ 33.40
This is the knife I have taken. This is a helped flipper, which means it’s opened unable to flick to your finger, and the edge will come sharp. Within $ 31, I don’t care if this knife takes a beat. Sticks to sticks for marshmallows or just for fun, cutting ropes, even the ropes of a tree so that I feel like a ninja – this knife I still haven’t let me go.
Microtech Hera II AUR AUD AUT Autuptic Kusife, $ 262
This is the PocketKnife I brought near all the time. It is important, but that’s because it is made by one (outside Asheville NC), the edge comes sharply, and it’s an action outside of Spring. It means that to flick to that little switch in thumb, the blade will travel and automatically. Microtech also placed a lifetime guarantee of the knife, so don’t worry about the mechanism that fails. My wife called it my fidget knife because I found the action of spring addicting. Just make sure it is legal in your state.
First aid car kit
It’s the easiest ten dollars you spend. The child consumed a bee on the hike? Check. Straped knees? Check. Splinter? Check. The sole addendum I made of this and every other kit kit is adding some bandaids because no matter what it doesn’t have enough. Seriously, do we go through many bandaids when we kids?
Penny Hoafers
I know, I’m writing more about penny poafers than having to enjoy, but they really are about perfect shoes. Wear them in jeans, khakis, shorts and no socks. They look so beautiful and they are comfortable.
Some years I returned to sit with the Vice President of Oakstreet Bootmaker, and I was beaten by their shoes since. With the full handmade of America (even to thread), it is difficult to defeat the quality and comfort that this offer is.
Logan Suede Weejun Hoafers, $ 149
The last two years, GH Bass has passed the brand’s revision to a new design VP, and let me tell you, they killed it. They keep their gambling styles in America while adding some fresh skin choices and extend their various acting options. These cheap weejuns are perfect for spring and summer.
Zippo
Zippo Classic Chrome Pocket Light, $ 17.56
I don’t smoke, and I don’t plan on getting started. But it was a cold day in hell when I took my zippo. Within less than $ 20, a zippo is a non-ship. Flints and fluids are cheap; THE Baneane explosions are imaginaryand the * CLINK * To that lid is probably the most satisfactory sound known to the person. Zippos had a LIFE WARRANTY as well; When I was in college, my lid was away from the body. I sent it to Zippo (headquartered by Bradford Pa), and they were back to me under two weeks, good as new.
A great flashlight
Luckily, a good flashlight doesn’t have to look like a police officer at eight years old, enough to beat a bank thief and then light a whole city block. This one cheap, offering 1600 inhabitants of light, and it is a waterproof. And I’ll call old, but I prefer a light that takes AA batteries like this. Why? AAS is available wherever can be for cheap, but if your light is rechargeable and the interntery battery is dead, you do not see the dark until it feels.
The flashlight is headed, $ 12.99
If I bought my first house, my father took me to get a toolbox and important tools that have every human being. I realized I can get some hate for it, but I’ve been a big fan of Harbor Freight for hand tools (and some tools I have used (yes, guys, I know this list can much longer; I only list the basics).

7 in. Laser Edched Aluminum Rafter Square, $ 12
Mirrors to clean up mirrors
Classic Art Microfing Cloting Clotling, 5 Pack, $ 10.99
I know it’s just for those who wear glasses, but if you know, you know. I won’t leave home without one of them in my pocket. As a glass dressed in long eyelashes, I saw the world by always rounding lenses. Having a cloth in the ready to make sure I see and that I don’t break my glasses by using my t-shirt to clean. I love this set because they are interesting to look, and they are getting better after throwing up the wash.
Camera
Ricoh Digital Compact Camera, $ 1,046.95
Ok, I know I’m getting biased because I’m a photographer, and I AWARE This little man is worth a lot of money, but wherever I go, this camera is in my being. This is enough to fit in a pocket, joining a Sensor of APS-C with a different one in a package), and the lens is very sharp. Yes, I know your iPhone takes pictures, but … it’s better, trust me.
