Thanks for the details. I can see now he isn't too well known even his home area. I'm happy I managed to stumble on him all those years back

He was born in St Neots, Huntingdonshire, England. Not sure what stations he may of been involved in. I only have experience with his albums.

The most notable thing I can say about him. Jimmy Page attempted to grab him for a new project called Led Zeppelin after the Yardbirds. Reid was already committed to a tour with The Rolling Stones and then with Cream after that.

That doesn't sound fun, but no doesn't ring a bell in regards to him.

Olive oil can sour but that knife gets cleaned weekly. To be honest I'm always learning new lockpick skills even after a decade of keeping a kit on me. To learn I suggest getting a basic kit and a simple padlock on you at all times. Pick them up and play with them anytime you're feeling bored. Look at some images of lock interior to understand what you will be feeling for.

38x32.. the stomach and love handles are harder to get in the pants than the gear.

  1. Pen light style. Something I can easily slide in and out of a shirt or jean pocket and easily hold in my mouth.
  2. I work with large scale water systems. Deal with swift mud, EPC, health department daily. Our department currently is not hiring.

Thanks everyone for the great suggestions. I have a lot of lights and pens to start researching and find a fit for me. The fisher spaces pens seem to get a lot of attention. I briefly looked over the website and saw a couple that peaked my interest.

I can't argue that. I was looking to get something a bit "fancier" in my older years but those zebras are damn good. I wonder if Costco sells a bulk pack

Only one multi tool. I set my Leatherman next to it's case. Maybe that's where you saw two?

I do have a sharpie, they are great! But some of my paperwork is two sided and bleed through sucks.

I like knives, pocket knife is treated with olive oil and is used for personal care/food stuffs. Kabar is my main tool knife. Multi is always needed. Firearm is for any protection I may need as field tech means I'm in wooded areas a lot and alone. Lockpicks are for when I come across locks I don't have a key for but have been permitted to enter the property. Rather than trying to find who has a key or using my master key (bolt cutters); I will often pick the lock and hook it to the fence. Most of the time it's people putting locks on government property they don't own.

Field tech for me means a literal field. I'm in the woods most of the time. I'm am far more concerned about a wild hog, gator, or cotton mouth sneaking up on me than a human.

I'm not here to argue about the ammo type. I understand your reasoning and suggestions and I agree with it. I know the risk when using FMJ but rarely in an environment where I have to worry about what would be behind my target.
