Ladies of Hive #58 What’s in the bag?

Okay you talked me into it @silversaver888

What’s in the bag?

That’s a question I would expect should a scruffy man came up to me as I walk to my bus top on my way to my Night shift work. His tone would be that of a low sinister growl to intimidate me to giving up my purse without thinking much further. If he were jittery and impatient, I would consider him a mere junkie needing quick cash for a fix and easily distractable.

Either way, neither scenario had yet happened to me. Being simply watchful for the telltale signs, common sense, even instincts and knowing what to do avoids 99% of unwanted confrontations before they happen.

The contents of my backpack are no different than most for my work and post work shopping in the mornings. My lunch, change of clothing, small makeup kit, hairbrush, and an emergency change of clothes. In nursing work, doo doo happens.
Boring.
So, let’s change to my Dojo bag.

What’s in my Dojo bag?

I’m not endorsing the Soda Beverage, but the Bag color scheme is my style
image.png
Top; My Gear bag.
Middle; ’Fang’ My Iaido Katana
Bottom; My Bokken, Oak wooden practice sword

Each of my Katanas has a silk bag as Samurai cherished their weapons with care and believe that it has it’s own soul. And like past Samurai have traditionally done, I named my weapon ‘Fang’.

Iaido, is an aspect of Kenjutsu that emphasizes on the Art of the Draw. It is an elegant art to deploy your weapon in such a manner that your opponent either real or imagined will acquiesce to your superior skill.

The hardwood Bokken is the standard practice sword which are made close to weight and balance of a typical katana. Much safer to practice swinging alone or in class drills.

The Outfit

Basic black Karate uniform as opposed to a Kendo version.
Kendo Wrist guards.

Japanese haori coat/jacket

Typically worn by men but also worn by women adding a sense of distinction over a kimono or uniform. I am looking to get a black one.

Putting it all together!

As for my clan in #silvergoldstackers

1 Troy Ounce Samurai Silver Bar from the Golden State Mint

Front; Fully armored Samurai in an IN NO KAMAE stance.
Back; Fan Pattern
.999 Fine silver
Size 50.1mm x 29.3mm x 2.4mm
Edge; Smooth

Now that I have a car, after Christmas I will be retiring my backpack and fanny bag to the Brocaded Black handbag featured in the top picture. A habit left over from my Bike and Bus commute days.

I think I miss my spirit-separated-at-birth more colorful sister @chocolatescorpi and invite her back this round.

I have to be content with the 2 one ounce versions, One for each of my sons. And then deciding on the 10 oz later. Other Stacking priorities come into play at this time with so many coins in the Market.
What else is in my bags?

Oh I get it, I’m trying to play the crypto market at the moment to use gains to buy metals at some point. Hopefully soon.
Nice carries. I stopped after I cut a hole in my jeans on a job that I didn’t realize happened and lost mine.

As a Nurse I am bound to safe life where I can so I carry in my backpack/bag one of these Noloxone intervention kits since Fentanyl and Opioid deaths are well exceeding Covid related ones.

Otherwise, I like to emphasize that I won't be an easy target every now and then as a deterrent.
Thanks for dropping in @thedamus ☠️

Sadly, this Opioid overdose Intervention has become a part of Standard First Aid training. This kit comes with 3 vialed individual doses and three Syringes to administer by injection with quick instructions on how to best administer the drug.

Thanks for Commenting @katrina-ariel 🌼

I don't usually put my Cosmetic kit in my Dojo bag but will reside temporarily in my backpack until I switch it the black Brocaded handbag.
No point having lipstick while wearing my Fang Mask.

Hi @kerrislravenhill! Definitely not what the typical gal would carry in her bag, but that's what makes you so special! I love it! For me, I would choose the black over red I think, but the red looks good on you! Thanks for sharing sis and have a lovely night!

I just haven't gotten around to getting the right Black Haori jacket yet and on top of that it's usually pretty popular lately and more expensive. A proper traditional Kendo Uniform can set me back a pretty penny too.

Thanks again for Commenting @elizabethbit 🥋

It'd be cool to open carry a Katana. I I can get stopped for carrying onein my belt, except during Halloween. Have to send a message, "Don't mess with me!"
On a smaller scale I do carry these as part of my EDC.

You received 5 LADY(LOH) tokens for entering the Ladies of Hive contest.

Please note that since our LOH token is still so new, that it will be worth more if we HOLD them for a bit before trying to sell them. Some have been trying to sell them immediately after receiving them, but holding them for a bit will help them to increase in value! We are working behind-the-scenes to try to keep the price stable, but the "sell orders" are hampering the stabilization of the price of this new token. Please hold on to your tokens. Thank you! 🙂

Tenga en cuenta que, dado que nuestro token LOH todavía es tan nuevo, valdrá más si los MANTENEMOS por un tiempo antes de intentar venderlos. Algunos de ustedes han estado tratando de venderlos inmediatamente después de recibirlos, ¡pero retenerlos por un tiempo les ayudará a aumentar su valor! Estamos trabajando entre bastidores para tratar de mantener estable el precio, pero las "órdenes de venta" están obstaculizando la estabilización del precio de este nuevo token. ¡Considere esperar! ¡Gracias! 🤗

I sometimes carry along a few extra accessories just in case I come across a Goth Rave party.

I just didn't pull out all the rest of my Ninja and Nunja hardware for the sake of time and effort. So, I will save them for another day should a vaguely related subject comes up.

Happy to have you chime in @kaerpediem
