So Do You Ever...
« on: January 07, 2012, 11:03:39 AM »
Sit And Just Try And Come Up With The Best Solution And Way To EDC Everything You Need/Want?
It's Not Very Together, The Way I Carry. Everything Is Just Simply Pocketed.

I Want A Good Way To Carry Everything On Me Without Stuffing My Pockets But Being Able To Quickly Get To Everything When Needed Without Having To Dig Around In A Bag For It.

Now, I Love Backpacks, Don't Get Me Wrong. It's Just Not Practical For Me To Be Carrying On With Me Absolutely Everywhere. Unless I Made It A True EDC And Used It For Absolutely Everything. But That Still Leaves The Quickness Problem To Be Dealt With.

Are There Any Little Organizers/Carriers That Would Hold What I Need EVERYDAY? Also How Would I EDC It Comfortably? I Guess I Could Hook It On My Belt, But I Don't Always Where A Belt. Hmmm...  :think:

Do You Guys Ever Have This Issue? And Any Suggestions To Fix It?

That is truly awesome. They should have manufactured it with Velcro or buttons/holes to accommodate different sized SAKs and STs. I'm looking in a Maxped micro organizer for assorted baby stuff, once munchkin is more mobile (bandaids and neosporin, mini Phillips and batteries, nail clippers and tweezers, etc). I trend toward more minimal carry, so my preferences might not suit your needs. Maxpedition is supposed to manufacture some pretty amazing stuff.

Get a backpack that doubles/looks like a purse. In public places you won't even stand out.

I do that constantly.

My best solution is to carry items which minimize size and maximize function.   Smallest pocketable pistol in a "major" caliber (Kahr PM9, S&W 442, etc.).  Smallest yet powerful light (Quark Mini CR123).  Smallest SAK, whistle, etc.  You get the idea.

Sometimes I carry a big, honkin' knife just because I feel like it.  But generally, smaller works just fine.

I do these things because carrying a man sack everywhere I go is just not something I'm going to do.  So small EDC items which retain functionality allows me to carry more, and carry more comfortably while still being prepared.

Example:

Yep. That's why my bag weighs 6 pounds and I don't go any further out of the apartment than the mailbox without it.
Wait a second, I think I've got the tool to fix this in my bag.

I am not a team player- there is no I in team, but there is meat.

Constantly.

You should see how many times I've reorganized my camera bag. It weighs 45lbs and I can do ANYTHING on location with it. No wasted space.

For my edc stuff, I end up obsessing over how to carry things without redundancy, keeping it tight, then trying to replicate that kind of performance in stainless steel and black colour.
Why stop now?

I follow this principle:
I pack most of my stuff into my Charge sheath. add two pocket clipped folders, and keys and im good to go. Very rarely do I encounter a situation for which I am unequipped. To be honest I can't remember the last time I felt unprepared.

It's a chess game that can never be won , delete a piece of gear - you'll need it tomm ! I like a certain degree of redundancy as stuff can fail , get lost stolen or strayed . Two is one , one is none .

EDC is like an ideal gas , it'll tend to occupy all the space in any sized vacum .

I have these new fangled things on my pants called pockets. I just load them up with my keychain stuff, SAK, multi, random stuff and BAM! ...... I'm covered for most of what life throws at me.
