Your constant companion that you would be lost without.

[El Presidente]

Your constant companion that you would be lost without.

No...not your wife or partner or family member...let's take that as a given 

That piece of equipment, special momento that you keep on you practically at all times. 

For me I have several, but I couldn't do what I do without my Tumi backpack.  Big enough for the 14" Laptop and accessories, clothes for 3 days, personal "men's" accoutrements  etal. 

Zips haven't ever failed. Effectively waterproof, Place for a proper high workload umbrella, sunglasses etc. 

My mobile office. Worth every cent. Would buy again in a heartbeat. 

Let us know yours ....deep down we like to keep it simple/practical and effective!

Victorinox Handyman Swiss Army Knife. I've had this for 20+ years and it goes everywhere with me (even abroad, in the hold). Not as big and cumbersome as the Swiss Champ but with all the tools needed for whatever I'm doing. Whether camping, fishing or Scouting it's there on my belt. It comes with me to work (tree stuff - handy little wood saw) and even dinners out (toothpick). The scissors are sharp enough to cut cigars neatly; the hook turns it into a makeshift coat hanger; it'll open bottles and cans and it's even been commandeered to file nails. Mine's a bit battered, still sharp and I'd be lost without it. I should get a spare while they still make them...

My hardshell 15 count travel humi.

It holds my Palio cutter,reamer,and enough cigars for the weekend with a couple to spare.

It probably has over 100,000 miles on it in the last 8 years,has never failed.

I think if I post a gun, it will piss off Ken.

Ken will likely say something nasty about it, then I may just say something nasty back and Ken and Rob will get in a argument over it and that will kill the thread. Ken will stomp off, Rob will be mad at me knowing that I know Ken and a black cloud will hang over FoH.

I guess I won't post a picture of a gun!!! Rob, you owe me one, mate! -LOL

@PigFish amazing restraint mate... Amazing!

      My wooden slim handle back scratcher!  I'd be DEAD without my trusty back scratchers and I have one in each room at my house and two in my car, the 2nd one in the car to take with me into my work place.  I have short arms - Tyranosaurus Rex short arms.  And I'm sure I don't have to tell you what agony, frustration, and irritation it is when you can't reach an itch - like on one's back!  So that's my trusty, constant companion!

It's pretty sad but my boots!

I got a pair of Meindl boots, army surplus, about 7 years ago.

I originally got them for walking the dog but the quality is still so great I expanded their use to gardening then winter walks then nearly every day use until it gets ironically too hot to wear and flip flops come out.

Never had to change the laces or waterproof them. I didn't think boots were made so well and so comfy still nowadays, Meindl are a pretty amazing company!

My Polaris Ranger. It's my transportation to and from my man cave that's 400 ft from our house, in the spring it puts in the dock, pulls it out in the fall, plows snow in winter and works great for projects around the house. Pulls cars up our steep driveway when it's slippery out .Best money I ever spent.

And on the eighth day He created corners for which man could scratch his back upon.

 

I've just about worn the paint off door jambs scratching my back.

 

My "American Express Card" (never leave home without it) is definitely a knife.  I always have at least two on me.  One for opening boxes, one for opening bad guys.  Luckily, the latter has only had to come out to play one time, but the primal fear of getting cut made the turd reassess how much he wanted my wallet.

Sad, but true!

This one is for you Janet! Both high, and low tech back scratchers.

Of course I have a spouse, but she is not always happy with me!!!

The driftwood one is kinda' cool, and a la natural. While jet-skiing on the Colorado River one day, it floated up next to me and said, take me home and I will scratch your back! So I did...

Don't know that it really qualifies, but my gym bag is always in the trunk of my car.

[ChefBoyRG54]

Freak out without it....misery!

[Miller1985]

It's simple, but it's gotta be with me. Always.

Fine, but what, or indeed who, is in the gym bag...?

Never open the package.

I carry a leatherman on my belt at all times.  A lighter duty one for nonworking days and a super leatherman for working days.  Could not live without it!  Also a painters helper tool is never far from my grasp as well.  If a friend helps me with something I usually give them one as I consider them indispensable.

 I can't tell you what a disappointment it is that none of our brethren has mentioned the condom in their wallet.

[luv2fly]

As much as I hate to say it, my iPhone.  Have to keep it accessible at all times, mostly for work.  To be honest, I feel like I am always on and never have much time to myself.

Kershaw chive satin finish assisted opening pocket knife.  Nice quality steel, made in USA model.  Also own several other Kershaws, but this is my daily carry.  Indispensable!

[airtrade]

My iPad. Almost always with me.

A Bottle Opener- I've had one on my keys since I turned 18. I find they're especially handy these days as a lot more brewers are moving away from twist top bottle caps and the ones that do stick with them seem to put the caps on with a rattle gun

Nothing worse than finishing up after a long day, grabbing a beer out of the esky and finding you don't have a bottle opener. Sure you can resort to shifters, bic lighters, eye sockets, keys, coins, spoons or any other number of tools, or you could just put an opener on your keys

[demer]

It's real sad to say this but my phone lol

[jazzboypro]

i got to say it's my phone

[Stogieninja]

My Banana Republic boxer briefs. ...they've supported me through everything.

[MrGlass]

Sunglasses.  If it is daytime and I'm outside I'm wearing them.  This isn't a fashion thing, I'm nearly blind without them with the brightness.
