What does everyone carry for tools in their bunker pants pockets
I was reading and commented on a post about a person who carried all kinds of crap on his helmet and it got me thinking .... What tools do people carry in their bunker or turnout coat pockets ?
I carry in my right bunker pant pocket .. a utility knife, 2 wooden wedges, 4 small plastic wedges (great for plugging sprinkler heads) a pair of klein cable cutters, my right glove
In my left pocket I carry a 6' piece and a 15' of webbing, 2 more wooden wedges, my left glove
My right pocket a pair of pliers, straight screw driver, shove knife, seat belt cutter
My left pocket a phillips screw driver, pair of trauma shears.
I also carry a flashlight with shoulder strap and a straight edge dive knife wire tied to the shoulder strap that rests in the middle of my chest.

After 9 years I have realized one thing. If I need it its on the truck. I dont want a million things in my gear. I carry a set of structural gloves and a set of rescue gloves. I have a window punch, seat belt cutter, 2 wedges, and a Garrity light on my helmet. I carry 15' of webbing and a few pairs of latex gloves.
