I use an HPG recon kit bag, car key and some other essentials zipped inside as is my Glock. A Suunto m-9 wrist compass is strapped to my wrist. All go on when leaving the camp/truck and remain in place until I return.
I occasionally remove my pack but never the kitbag. When I carry my LRF it is tethered to its case attached to the kitbag, I once knocked an expensive one off a rock never to be seen again. My compact binos I wear around my neck. I have been known to screwup and believe in prevention on priority items.

Stab them in the taint, you can't put a tourniquet on that.
