My full kit

[Benner]

I have been trying to put together a full EDC kit for a while now and feel that I have finally covered everything.  As I drive, weight is not an issue so it is pretty comprehensive;



After I have filled my pockets with all my necessities, everything else fits in my bag pretty nicely;



So, does anyone have any ideas as to anything I should be adding?

I can't see it but how about food, energy/glucose tablets, pro plus for when you HAVE to keep going....rope?

(I may well have missed them)

Otherwise your kit and mine look v similar

A trolley?

[Mike]

Maybe you already have one, but an I.D Tag/Dog Tag?

I would only add food etc when I was necessarily needing it.  I also have no use for those kinda tablets as I am so scatty that I have all the energy I need.  

Rope is one thing I have thought of but only in the form of a tow rope.  There is a few feet of cordage in that lot so I'd like to think that that would cover anything else I needed it for.

Damn!  Ok, my wallet should be in there as well.

Towards the lower right hand corner, what Leatherman is that?

A knifeless Fuse.

I would make recommendations, but I need to know what your EDC is intended to cover.  My initial impression is, there's a fair bit o' kit that could be omitted as EDC.  But I may be wrong.



Of course, you could set this up as a poll...

Looks like you're prepared!  What Maxpedition bag is that? I like the size of it.

It's a Remora Gearslinger.

A nice guy in the US sorted me out with that.

What is that above the shovel handle, to the left of the condom?

[american lockpicker]

Looks like your missing a gun and GPS. BTW heres one that will probably fit in your pack

You know Ben, doctors recommend that you only carry a maximum of 15% of your body weight.

A Bladetech sharpener.  It's is real thin so fits in my Otterbox kit really well.  Not my first choice in sharpener, but would work in a pinch.

    Thanks for that.

As for the GPS, I am about to upgrade my phone so I might get one with it in.

1.  A sherpa

2.  A sidekick ala Green Hornet's Kato, Batman's Robin or The Avenger's Emma Peale

What you saying?!  

I admit it does look a lot, but considering that quite a bit of that is my regular pocketed EDC, the rest all go in that bag which is really only carried to and from the car.  If I were to go hiking etc, I would obviously drop this to necessities only.

Who on earth would want to be my sidekick?  They'd have to be pretty small and pretty dumb. 

[american lockpicker]

How much does one of those Sigg bottles cost and where can I get one?

Emma Peale it is then.

I was given it as a gift from Mike, but a quick google search seems to bring up a few stockists.

[american lockpicker]

I found sites that sell them but I can't seem to find that particular bottle.

[Mike, Lord of the Spammers!]

You need an augmetic limb to carry it all mate

Damn fine rig mate

[Benner]

I found sites that sell them but I can't seem to find that particular bottle.

Mike may be able to help you there.

Oh Mike!! 

[Mike, Lord of the Spammers!]

I'll see if I can find a link, as I bought it a couple of years or so ago

I used these in Boy scouts. Just don't mix it up with the white gas!

Search on Sigg Oval flask cup (it's the oval flask with cup).  Amazon probably has them

[Benner]

Oh, and forgot to say, in addition to the wallet I annoyingly left out, there is a gas canister and a pan holder & stabilizer kit inside that Jetboil.  I put a small sponge in the Jetboil as well just to stop everything from shaking about.

Water purification?  Steripen makes a pocket sized UV sterilizer that's quite nice...
