Basic Urban Pocket Kit - more stuff

More tools, more stuff

There' still some space left (even more if I can braid the string), so I added:

* a couple of paper clips - critical tools for restarting many kinds of computers or phones - and also a true multitool device

* A keyring (was laying on my table and was recruited on the spot. No idea what for, one day might turn out to be useful).

* Micro (tiny, tiny) flat + Phillips screwdriver (part of a small tool that I got as a Xmas present). Complements well the tools in the Victorinox. Perfect for fixing your glasses (if you didn't lose that screw..).

* Small clear plastic bag. Useful to collect biological evidence if you feeel like playing CSI or to contain some of the stuff above and prevent it from rattling.

Paper and stuff

Writing could be a priority in minor emergencies, so I included 2 business cards (handy also from taking notes on the back side).

If you consider getting seriously drunk as a possibility, make sure the business cards have your address on and put additional ones in each pocket you have - to make sure that rescuers will be able to take you home and thiefs will know where to get their next fine dinner from.

1 Bus / subway ticket, as mentioned.

Phone numbers. Your mobile might run out of battery or get stolen.

Prepare a list with the most useful phone numers (you decide). Remember to add emergency number to call if your wallet and phone get stolen and you need to freeze credit cards etc.

Taking a note of the numbers printed on your driver's license / ID / Passport might be a smart thing, somebody told me.

All of the above can be really useful to start a fire, if you know how to do it. But first, make sure you know how to *put out* a fire, as I still haven't figured out out to include a fire extinguisher in my BUSK. Be careful. Don't play with matches.
