Swagger Posted April 26, 2003 Share Posted April 26, 2003 My keychain has a central hub with 5 small split rings that detach from it. On one I have my car alarm remote, speedpass, car key, house key and Club (steering wheel lock) key. Another has keys to my motorcycle, another speedpass and a copy of my house key. Another has keys related to my job. Another has my mailbox keys. The last has various keys on it, including padlock keys, a handcuff key and some other "miscellaneous" keys. No doo-dads or unnecessary stuff to be found on my keychain. I don't have the room... -- Random fortune: Quote Link to comment

Captain Chaoss Posted April 26, 2003 Share Posted April 26, 2003 Whoa, Windrose, thats a dedicated cacher. I am equally in awe and afraid of you ! Two roads diverged in the woods and I, I took the one less traveled, and that is how I found the cache. Quote Link to comment
dsandbro Posted April 26, 2003 Share Posted April 26, 2003 I have three keychains, one with no keys, just tools. Car Key chain has the huge keys with the RFID tags imbedded, the power button fob, and a padlock key for the hitch. No room for anything else. Work keys -- 8 keys, a P38, my school ring, and one of those Sears keyring screwdrivers. My pack key ring has no keys, a 4" adjustable wrench, screwdriver, P38, churchkey, nailcipper, penknife, and a small piece of metal I cannot identify nor remember what it is as I sit here and look at it. This is the key ring I carry in my pack when out and about, like caching or hiking. I can't combine them all into one. I couldn't walk even if I had a pocket big enough. ======================================== "The time has come" the Walrus said "to speak of many things; of shoes and ships and sealing wax, of cabbages and Kings".

I can't believe there are actually people that have never heard of a p-38 can opener. I guess I grew up with a bunch of military freaks. In my neighborhood, no one walked the streets, much less went camping, without one. I carried one for years. Always had one problem, the darn thing would 'open up' in my pocket and stick me in the leg. A wrap of electrical tape solved that problem. Don't try to get on an airplane with one.

SteelRat Posted April 28, 2003 Share Posted April 28, 2003 I wondered what was meant by a P38 at first, but saw the answer in later posts. The Australian Army version of what I think is the same thing is a small can-opener with a shallow spoon at one end. The whole thing is as long as your index finger. It is commonly called a F.R.E.D (F'ing Ridiculous Eating Device). As for keychain items: Car Remote Lock, 3 keys.

+CYBret Posted April 28, 2003 Share Posted April 28, 2003 I guess I'm fortunate, my P-38 seems to want to stay closed. I've actually found myself using it more as a screwdriver than a can opener anyway . . . I think that's probably true of most people who have them. Reading through the link I posted above, I found some stories of people who had their P-38's taken from them at airports. I'm still amazed that the last time I flew I had three of them in one pocket--and even after being pulled aside and wanded as a "random security inspection." Amazing....glad I lived to tell about it.

The Foster Clan Posted April 28, 2003 Share Posted April 28, 2003 Maybe I should have also said that I'm pretty much out of space in that pocket but I also carry no less than two knives at all times. A small Spiderco that's used daily and a Gerber Multi tool used almost as much. I also carry a larger utility or hunting knife when I'm/we are way out in the woods caching, camping, hiking or hunting. My trusty military issue web belt and folding buckle (some of you will know what the buckle is/for) with the extra length slid back through my belt loops in case I need extra material. Double boot laces in my boots (never know when you may need extra rope) and at times a Colt .45 (yes it's licensed and so am I). Jon. Come visit us on the web!!
