There Are Pandas, and Then There Are Pandas.
And this isn't either of them! The Pandas we're talking about here, are watches, not bears. And what got me thinking about them (again) was a link posted this morning by @cm.rook who pointed a few of us to the very attractive (and not terribly priced) Yema "Rallygraph" Panda which, in it's most traditional arrangement, looks like the one on the left, but can also be had in the version on the right: The model on the left is a true Panda, while the model on the right is called a reverse Panda.

Leatherman Surge - I use this quite often, especially the scissors. I work a knife shop and i do offer sharpening services, so the scissors always come out. Pliers and bits are great for gear maintenance.
Zippo - Even if you don't smoke, you can use it to burn a line if you're lacking a knife, warm up your hands, can give you a limited light source (but that's what the flashlight is for), and to fidget with it.
ZT 0560 BW Custom district U5 anno - A dedicated knife made from excellent steel, so i know this knife can be used really often and i won't need to sharpen it up much. I use it to open packages, cut rope, boxes, sharpen my pencil, whittle wood when i'm bored, and cut food. I actually cut a lot of food with my knife
Powerbank - Because modern phones have lousy run times.
Quickclot pad/Chitosam bandages - Never know when you're gonna start hemorrhaging uncontrollably. Only use it if it is a severe life threatening wound.
