I must be on vacation.I've got time to post"stuff". Well, in any case, In an earlier post about an invaluable gadget(my opinion), a few people indicated that they didn't need "another/more" gadget(s) in/on there chestpack. For my/our information, other than flies, what do YOU have attached to/in/on your vest,lanyard,chestpack? I would like to gleen from the responses what I should/could be including.

PS: In my case, it's a hemostat,clippers,tippet holder,Ty-Rite tool,flip-up magnifiers on my hat and that's about all.

I don't like things dangling so most stuff is in a pouch attached to my check box straps or waist belt.

The only things attached and able to get tangled up are nippers & EZ-hook on zingers on my chest box straps and Hat-Eyes, Brimz sunglasses, and LED light on my hat visor.

I have a buddy that actually carries a coffee pot, cups, and a backpacking stove to make coffee by the river. We got the idea from AK Best book, just glad I dont have to carry it.

flybox(in shirt pocket), nippers, forceps, floatant, spare leader and tippet spool in fly box. Used to carry all the other stuff, never used it, so I started leaving it behind. Don't miss the extras a bit

I read about the tool in a book called Taps tips, take the clothes pin apart. Fill in the part of the cloths pin that is hollow and goes over the clothes line. The Author suggested wood puty I used hot glue. Make the putty flush with the clothes pin. reassemble when dry.

what this does is give a nice easy to use clamp that holds the line while doing a blood knot, Trying to tye on tippet in a rocking canoe was a pain, with this tool it is easyer. still better to remember to tie it on at home.

I want to play with this clamp this winter and see if I can improve it some.

I once had a fishermen show me a necklace that had a lot of accessories on it. I laughed. I guess it could be a good safety item because it would make plenty of noise so the bears wouldn't eat you.
