If you can't remember the strop, good luck remembering the string, lol. As for the pocket knife, I've carried one since I was old enough to know what one is.
But yeah, I thought about string, just wanted to know if that was pretty much what you guys do.
I don't do a lot of travel, so I was wondering about the logistics of it all.
But I'd have to carry string specifically for that purpose, because I always wear cowboy boots, even with a suit. So, no shoelaces for me.
I'm just wondering what the security guy thinks when he opens your luggage and finds a razor sharp SR and rope.
