Everyday carry, part four: a flashlight, a lighter and a little duct tape.

A flashlight is one of those simple tools that gets used more often than you might expect. The lighter provides a dependable way to start a fire, and wrapping duct tape around it means I always have a small amount available for quick repairs or emergencies—without carrying an entire roll.

Small tools, multiple uses and a little extra capability when you need it.

Everyday Carry Part 3- Pens & Tourniquet

Two simple tools in my everyday carry—a dependable pen for everyday writing and a tourniquet for emergencies.

In an absolute last-resort self-defense situation, even an ordinary pen could become a defensive tool. But the tourniquet is carried for a different reason: to help save a life when severe bleeding makes every second count.

Whatever you choose to carry, know where it is and learn how to use it properly.

Everyday Carry—Part 2: Knives

Each knife has a different purpose. The Kershaw is the general-use knife, it’s been sharpened, worked hard, and occasionally used as a screwdriver. The smaller single-blade knife handles lighter jobs, while the multi-blade knife stays the sharpest for tasks that need a clean edge.

Do you carry one knife for everything, or different knives for different jobs?

Everyday carry isn’t about carrying everything, it’s about having a few practical tools with you when you need them.

This is Part 1 of what I carry anytime I leave the house. My setup may change depending on where I’m going or what I’m doing, but these are some of the basics I rely on.

What’s one item you never leave home without?

This is my everyday carry, the bare minimum I have with me whenever I leave the house.

I don’t always carry duplicates, but I usually have a utility knife for everyday work and another knife I keep sharp for when I truly need it. Depending on where I’m going, especially if I’ll be horseback, I may carry an extra lighter.

Even lace-up boots add capability: they stay securely on my feet, and the laces can serve more than one purpose if needed.

This isn’t everything I carry, and it isn’t meant to cover every situation. I keep additional gear in our vehicles and with my riding and cowboy gear. This is simply the foundation I start with every time I head out the door.

What’s one item you never leave home without?

Whether you’ve trained with us before or you’re just finding us, welcome to Secure Haven Training.

We’re here to help people become more capable, confident and prepared, wherever they’re starting from.

If you’ve never taken a fi***rms class before, you’re welcome here. If you’ve been training for years, there’s always another skill to sharpen. And if it’s been a while since you’ve trained with us, we’d love to have you back.

We believe good training starts with safety, builds confidence through practice, and continues as your skills grow.

Preparedness doesn’t have to come from fear. It can come from responsibility, knowledge and taking the time to build skills you can rely on.

We’re looking forward to another season of training and to seeing familiar faces alongside some new ones.

Around here, summer means farming and ranching.

It’s irrigation, haying, cattle, fencing, long days, and making the most of the growing season while we have it. During those months, Secure Haven gets a little quieter as most of our attention shifts to the ranch.

As summer is windingdown, our seasons start to shift too.

Fall through spring is when we have more time to step back into Secure Haven with teaching, training, sharpening skills, and helping others become more confident and prepared.

We’re excited to get this page moving again, share more of what we do, and start putting together our upcoming training opportunities.

We’re looking forward to training with you again this season.
