If you are working in some place where horses and rope coexist, you carry a blade, because it is guaranteed at some point somebody will manage to get a horse entangled with the rope (and chances are you are the moron who manages it).

I mean, you often see advice about using quick release knots and such, but I have seen horses pull the knots so tight that you are not undoing those with your hand.

I loved trousers and coats with multiple pockets because I tend to carry a lot of things on my person, and I like those things to be in their own pocket in order to avoid fiddling with my fingers in order to pull the thing I want. The problem is my mother seemed to like sporting clothes with no pockets, which made pockets scarce.
