Gary. I've got an eclectic bunch of stuff for different situations. I bought a fanny pack with 2 water bottles on it and 3 zippered compartments, a snap ring and a mesh pocket at a Walmart end of season sale for 10 bucks. I use it on days I just need 1 or 2 small fly boxes and a sandwich. I wear a vest sometimes and others I tote a backpack large enough for a long day out.
My nippers came from Creek Co. with a zinger for $1. last fall. I also have backup nail clippers just in case. I also carry a small multitool with nippers, file, scissors, a knife blade and small straight and phillips screwdrivers. Forceps I have had for years and years. I've found some at yard sales, swap meets and flea markets. Some are as much as $1.50 and others a nickle. Never pass one up. Gehrkes Gink and Xink are about all I use. I've got several other tubes, tins and jars but like the Gehrkes for convenience. Jim
