What do you carry 24/7 while on or off the job?

a 2002 Chevy Impala, with a 62 inch lightbar mounted on the roof. Impalas (and Malibus) have a ridiculous amount of trunk room, more than enough for my equipment.

That reminds me of the scene in a movie where an ex mobster is selling cars and says "Look at that trunk space you could get three bodies in there?"
FYI clip contains some mild profanity

iPad and iPhone have my library of medical books, medical apps, web access, movies & TV (Netflix, Hulu, Slingplayer), Angry Birds, etc.

I am too lazy to list everything. I am so tired right now, just making my last rounds on EMTLife.com for the night.

Negative. Doc said to take it easy until I get to see cardiologist. I certainly don't want to have chest pain in a room full of EMTs, Medics, and Trauma nurses... I would leave the conference with a tube in every orifice.

Wallet, keys, bottle opener on my key ring, chapstick, phone, iPod, and my Gerber knife (survival classes taught me to never leave without one). I'm too young to buy and/or carry a handgun and don't have the money for a rifle. And then in my truck basic stuff. First aid kit, tool set, jumper cables, oil, shovel, 2 survival kits, extra clothing, and some items for off-roading.

You know...if you look around at pawn shops you can usually find a rifle or shotgun for under $150. Failing that, I have a single-shot 12 gauge for sale for $100....

The well-equipped tour guide

I drive an 8 passenger tour van around a volcano. I have a bag that's always in my car that goes with me on tour. In it is a "jump pack" to supplement the for-hunger 1st aid kit in the van. It includes:

BP cuff
stethoscope
Trauma pads, assorted
clamps
scalpel
Adaptics
tape
flexible limb splint
Duct tape
trauma scissors
a few triangular bandages
yes, even some ancient airways!

I always carry a camera, my 25 y.o. paramedic badge is in my back pocket in case someone tries to shoot me in the butt and my Jaws-of-Life, of course, is in my holster.

At the summit of the volcano one day an elderly man tripped, fell, cut his leg, nicked an artery and blood started spurting about. In that case I grabbed some napkins in my pocket and catching it on the third spurt, saved his life (modestly).

So much for preparedness.
