Well.............. Being in the country, I can get away with more perhaps? but I carry a Gerber on my belt pretty much all the time (only take it off when I go to the pub which is about 3 times a year!!)

In the back I have a folding saw and a hand axe, and giving consideration to a machete! These are not in a locked box (but you would need to get past the dog to get to them :dance:)

I reckon that I could explain this adequatly for our boys in blue, as I am a reasonable person who knows how to give the appropriate respect to the police.

Interesting. I've never seen one of those before. What colour is it? does it like hi energy dance music? Does it visit Club G-A-Y? An axe used by Dale Winton?
Obvious double entendres are "A small camp chopper, eh?", "Hold tightly to your small chopper" or "I was holding my small camp chopper, and its head came off!"

No problem, I thought that too, but it's a useful tool:

I have one of these:

http://www.surplusandadventure.com/shop/survival-emergency/survival-equipment-2/web-tex-warrior-survival-saw-517567.html

Mine isn't quite like that, but it's highly unlikely to be regarded as offensive. Mine folds into a tin that fits in the palm of your hand and has a couple of clip-on grips. Works really well on small to medium sized branches and takes up next to no space in the boot.

Yeah, the one they have there does rather look like nunchucks! The only problem is that the handles won't fit in the tin with the saw blade, so you have to carry it dismantled. That's probably better in legal terms though  :lol:

Must admit I carry quite a bit of kit in my motor, being a "jack of all trades" - Gardener/Welder/Fabricator/Agricultural Engineer etc, etc. :lol:
One of the most useful bits of kit I have for cutting back branches is a Folding Pruning saw. You can get these from most Garden Centres & places like B&Q. Very sharp & they cut on both the push stroke & the pull stroke.
I also carry a set of loppers with extending handles, bow saw, shovel, mattock, metal bar, full tool kit, bolt cutters (left in from doing a job on a farm of course  :^o) & sometimes I'll leave my chainsaw & safety gear in the back.

Just beware the amount of effort they need - sawing through a couple of branches with one of these should save you a weeks gym fees  :lol:
