Same here. Having at least a basic pocket knife is important, because you'd be surprised how often you need it and don't even realize it. IE, situations where a good knife would have solved a lot, but had to be dealt with in other ways because you didn't have one. If you live on a farm and go outside without your knife, you may as well leave your pants behind as well, because you'll be no more useful around the farm without your knife than you would be without your pants. (although going knifeless won't scare the neighbors. lol.) Anyhow, any well prepared person is going to always have a knife on their person.

The string comes from the fact that any well trained outdoorsman is going to always have at least a small spool of string in their pockets, or a paracord bracelet for those situations where string is needed in an emergency, or just as part of your normal day. Farmers always have at least a little string tucked in their pants pockets at all times because quite often they'll have need of it and no way to go get any. So having some in your pocket is important.
