Rather than a Leatherman, I have a Swiss Card which was a present but is a lot lighter, and really the knife and scissors is all I ever use.
The only other thing I also carry in my bag which goes everywhere is a tiny first aid kit, consisting of a couple pairs of gloves, a resuscitation face mask, a triangular bandage or two and some Band-Aids.
Well I was thinking 'knife, scissors', then realised I could really do with a screwdriver, pliers, bottle opener... And the Leatherman seems to have some kind of geek cred.
Rope'll work as well as anything for a tourniquet, right?
And just what are you planning on tourniqueting young man? Get thee a pressure immobilisation bandage, unless you're planning on entering a landmine area. Then you'll need 4 military style tourniquets, which you wear on your limbs (no use to you in your bag).
