Good point my friend. I can remember my granddad, father, always carried a pocket knife. Now that we have quick open knives it is so much better. I read a article the other day that stated they were illegal in Alaska ? Not sure why , as they can carry all kinds of hunting knives.I also carry a quick open knife that I could cut a seatbelt with if I or someone else was trapped.
This is something everyone should consider, it could be a life saver. -

My friend saved a guy's life a few weeks ago at the local municipal airport with a pocket knife. He always carries one with him and this time it really proved to be a life saver! An older man took off in his experimental plane, something went wrong, and he crashed into some trees from about 300 feet. My friend hauled ass in his truck over there and saw the man slumped over in his seat unconscious (it was later determined he suffered from collapsed lungs, every rib broken, and all sorts of other broken bones) with mangled cockpit trapping him. There was gas spilling everywhere inside the plane and his seatbelt was stuck. My friend took out his knife and cut him free! He said if no one had been at the airport and gone to help him the man would have probably been dead in 15 minutes or less.

Thank you Bill, for sharing this story ! Those nylon seatbelts are something else, also airbags in a car ! Great True Story !

That is true, I've never thought of something like that... I've just got my toolbox in my tray, and a few tools behind the back seat, nothing easily accessible though, if say I was trapped in my seat belt. Over the past few weeks I've been thinking of certain items I need to start thinking about, seeing it's getting warmer and I'm planning on being more active outdoors (that involves driving around).
One important thing I need to add is a first aid kit. My old man always has one in his 4x4 and we've used it countless times. But another I'm going to have to add the knife to my list. We have a lot of restrictions over here on what we can and cannot carry though... I know for certain the machete under the carpet in the back of dad's fourbie is HIGHLY illegal... I wonder if he has taken that out yet, I'd hate him to get searched and for the police to find that... another must have in the car is a working torch! My personal favourite is a good LED headlamp, so you can go hands free.
AS for man accessories, I don't go anywhere without my sunglasses these days, not that they are fashionable in the slightest, but my eyes are very reactive to the light, and I can get some pretty serve migraines from bright lights, especially the glare of windscreens bonnets (hoods) -

Never go anywhere without wearing my tats. Swiss Army Knife for the last 50 or more years. I don't wear it but my 1200 RT Beemer. There's a Baume et Mercier time keeper in the safety deposit box but my everyday preference is a Casio-$8.99 cents, free shipping at Amazon.com. I usually wear a Smith and Wesson .50 under my left arm-I shoot right, other times it's a paper weight. My 1965 class ring from USC-which is ironic as that's the year the school was closed down by the Watts Riots-which has something to do with the Smith and Wesson...A hoodie that a bro was wearing when he was shot-I've never got the blood stains out but I do wear it. Bally of Switzerland for everyday and dress, my custom Wesco 20" engineers for the Beemer....A signed portrait of the 1978 Argentine World Champion Futbol team....little things but, as the song says, they do mean a lot.....

I don't really have many accessories, but I always wear a watch. I alternate among three: a Swiss army watch, a titanium Seiko that was an anniversary gift from my wife, and a Seiko that has an unusual design from about 20 years ago: in addition to the minute, hour and second hands, it has a small gold "t-shaped" hand on the face which points to the day of the week. Seiko is a mass-produced brand, but I've never come across another one with this design.

Same here, 12 ga captive ball in each side. Keepin' it simple.
Also, a Casio Wave Captor atomic digital, but only when I'm concerned with time. Resets itself to the correct time every 3-4 hours by syncing with some absolutely correct clock somewhere. Of course even a broken watch is right every 12 hours so I figure why spend a lot of bucks.
And now my Paracord Survival Bracelet by Doug in "The Thin Blue Line" scheme. -
