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?

I goes in the back pocket of your undies. You might be accused of carrying a heavy load though. TCSS

You're right DUST, so I just use a little ash instead :)

DT - that is a great idea. I know of one Station where they used the TIC as a wheel chock. I know the TIC wasn't much good for that purpose, I might suggest the concrete block idea to them!
