Benzomatic can't be the best thing out there. I do carry two torches, and two of the more popular coring sizes, and even carry a back-up meter. I'm also a stock hound. But to tell you the truth, I don't bring my underground with me when I'm climbing a tower, and I don't bring both torches with me when I'm wading through a swamp to splice an EOL.
But I'll tell you what, I bring Hip waders. I'm sure you old-timers carry canoes!
