You're in the 'I hate' thread, squire :-)
I totally get the desire to have useful items of equipment on ones person in relevant situations. If I'm going to be out and about on my bike ('ride' or otherwise), I have certain things that I make sure are in my bag/jersey - tool pouch, lock keys etc. If I'm camping, I actually have a tool roll with stuff like a folding chefs knife, an Opinel, bottle opener etc.
I'm semi-fetishistic about all these little objects and also about the manner in which I carry them. I just can't bring myself to give the whole experience a name, when its just carrying stuff around to greater or lesser degrees of organisation. I'm not sure I could bring myself to arrange the contents of my pockets artfully on a log and take a photo with my Zeiss, either.
