I wear an old tactical-type vest in the RV every flight, without exception. It's got a first aid kit, my PLB, small survival kit and a bunch of other goodies tucked in its' various pockets. I don't plan on ever using anything in there but if I do prang it, I might not have time to get anything else out beyond what I've got on me. Using the explanation
"I fly in a plane I built in my back shed!" makes answering questions at the fuel bowser easier!
