What Do You Carry?
We were sitting around the firehouse table the other day talking to a couple of rookies and the subect came up (as it always does) of what tools do you carry with you in your turnout gear an how do you carry them...
So, In my right bunker pants pocket I carry 20' of 1" tube webbing and a carabiner. In the left side is a back-up flashlight and IV set up pack.
In my right jacket pocket in a old "hose pouch" I have channel locks, screwdriver, punch and knife.
In the left side I have Door chocks, nails, shove knifes, 8' section of webbing...
How about you guys?

Art, good points!
I don't carry too much: Gloves, Extrication Gloves, Spanner, Window punch, hose strap, flashlight.
Anything else I need I grab off the truck as I'm going in.
