Sunbaked Samurai loadout

Alright, let's just clear this up first: no, the knucks were not in any of my pockets. They weigh just short of a pound, y'all can kiss cheeks if you think I'm going to willingly haul that shit around. Why do I have them? Because some of my friends made a lot of these things you see here, and I'm happy to support 'em.

I'm a production manager and graphic designer of nearly 17 years experience; the scalpel comes in handy for trimming prints or busting open some boxes of print media, balisong to cure boredom while watching ink dry or busting open boxes of print media, knucks for boxing open some boxes of print media, the rest is just pocket trash because I carry wtf I want, and it makes me happy (as should your gear).

NOT PICTURED: Olfa util knife, Sharpie fine-point marker, Tactile Turn Slim Bolt Action in full DLC, and a slim metal pick for weeding vinyl. I also have in a tool pouch on my desk, an Olight Arkfeld Pro – Copper Skulls edition that I use daily while cleaning my printers. The UV light comes in handy for fuzz hunting on print heads! My tool pouch also has various things like tweezers (pulling lint from print heads), nail clippers (grooming), a honing rod to keep the scalpel tip-top, an Olight D1 cracked brass bit tool, some simple bandages (papercuts!) and the charger cord for the Olight. I also have a small bottle of Carbon Honey in there, to keep the bali slippery smooth.

Everything listed here ends up split between two different @Loadup.co pouches at the end of the day, and tossed in a cheap Carhart backpack. I wear Red Kap shirts daily, two chest pockets: one for the pen/pick/sharpie/Olfa, the other for the hank.
