As there are threads and clubs for various multi tools I thought we could have one for the seemingly popular Maxpedition EDC Organiser  

I would be keen to see what everyone else is stocking theirs with and get some ideas all in one handy thread  

Obviously this isn't limited the Maxped version; all edc organisers welcome  

So here is mine. I only got it a couple of days ago and this is my first set up.

You certainly squeezed a lot of utility into that mate

Yay. Don't let Mike in though. He hasn't got one.

Or Allan

The one I ordered in khaki showed up today. No photo yet though it's almost full now except for a peanut lighter and tweezer I am waiting on. I filled it with useful stuff I will be transferring between a couple of Maxpedition bags that I use though it will primarily be in the Pygmy Falcon II that is my EDC bag. The EDC Organizer fits perfectly in the front slash pocket of the PFII and the little grab handle is ideal for pulling it back out of the pocket. So far I'm pretty happy with it. 

Are these really meant to be used to organise a pocket?  I tried mine in a cargo pocket and couldn't get things back in without taking the damn thing out of my pocket every time. 

I will probably just end up using it as everyone else seems to, to transfer stuff between bags and stop it rattling about.  It just seems silly they would market something as a pocket organiser that can't be used in a pocket. 

I'll thrown mine in here.  Just got  it a few days ago.  I've messed around with the order some, but here's the first pic.



I love this thing.  

Do we get a free patch when we join?   

You know, there is a spot for a patch on the front of these things.....Good idea!!!

Whoever started the thread should provide the patches.

I'm not getting the Maxpedition Organizer when I get one, but one from a maker on a different forum... but yes, I'm still waiting on the MTO velcro patches.  

seems like a few of us got ours not too long ago huh?  santa brought mine.  i've got pens on the left side and a pair of 4x6 memo pads on the right

I'm not sure that the intention is for one to reach into the pocketed organizer and extract items and then put them back. Rather, one is expected to pull the organizer out, retrieve the item, and then put it back into the pocket. Thus the grab handle.

Of course I think they are best inside a larger bag, but...

Feels odd posting it again so soon, but..

I own a lot of Maxpedition and some Spec-Ops gear, but not this Maxpedition organizer.  I don't have a pocket large enough for it.

Can you open up this organizer and zip it inside out?    That would make it easier to access gear while the organizer is inside your pocket without removing the organizer.

I have one, thanks to Yellowhammer   but I haven't quite figured out what to use it for yet.

Currently it has the "extra" stuff which can be taken out of the bag easily when not needed. The sort of thing in there is paracord, hand sanitiser, arnica stick, tape measure and things like that. It's very bulked out as these items are quite thick added up.

This may of course change like the wind! 

Whoever started the thread should provide the patches.

Good idea  Who did start this thread?  [Off to find a mod to change thread lol]

Milspec Monkey have some interesting patches; Dave got some recently

I ordered a few from MilSpecMonkey.  I'll have to get some pics up later. 

I'm having a rethink on mine, now I've tried it for a week and have learned some things......

I'm still not totally sure, but the concept works, now I need to refine it a bit 

I may actually get another

Ooh, the organisation sickness has got you baaaad!

If you want other cases without all the bits in, I got a couple of Crumpler ones for £2 from www.bigoffers.co.uk which were a serious bargain. They have a bunch of cheapo stuff worth checking out and delivered quite fast too.

I'll check those out - thanks Chris

I do kind of have my eye on a foliage green Maxped one though

I'm taking Glorn's advice and have ordered the triple mag holder, and that's where I'm going to put the Charge I think, in the CCW pocket on the Fatboy 

The organiser will then be made more legal / sheeple friendly by putting a PST or Juice, PST II or something in there, with the UKPK in my pocket.

So many things to consider

dave-  mine is foliage with milspecmonkey's patch on it. i think that is the best patch i can have on it since i use it at work and dont want to tick off too many people

  It is a small and unassuming bit of kit, but it sure does make that pocket useful. Especially for the tool junkie.

But..

What will you put in the built in sheath? Torch?

And what will you put in the add-on sheath? You know, when you order it..  

So many things to consider  

It never ends. But then, getting there is half the fun, isn't it?  

And new kit comes out every year. So the evolution continues. It's almost a hobby in and of itself. I can think of many more useless hobbies though. At least my obsessions make my daily life easier.

Lol - so true!

Lot's to ponder, and yes, it is definitely fun

Thinking I need another one as well 

One for EDC gear and one for my electronic gadgets 

Might fill it with electronic gear to see what it's like 

Tinkering with stuff configuration is definitely one of my main hobbies, but I realise that I get a lot of enjoyment out of it without having to buy new stuff (too often).

It really is half the fun of being in to this stuff for me personally

Another one   

we need more pictures

Well it arrived this morning and now I'm wondering how the hell I managed before - so cheers for the tip Glorn mate 

With my Fatboy, and with my old Thermite, I never used the CCW pocket much at all, because I couldn't see a practical use for it. Now I can!

Cheers to you! 

Isn't it terrific that they came up with such a smart little thing? I gotta say, Maxpedition really has it together over there. Which is precisely why I don't mind playing unpaid spokesperson for them. It simply is rock solid kit.

Now, are you carrying the organizer in the main pocket? It works very well. As I said before, all you need now is a "single sheath" like this to attach on the side pouch. You know, with the built in sheath and the add-on sheath... and the triple mag holder... one could carry any combination of five items and still have the rest of the bag free. So you could have 2 MTs, 2 lights, and a good size folder... or 2 folders, 2 MTs and a light... or....

I have a trade worked out with Flash for a Mini Roly Poly to go on the last bit of exposed webbing actually

Excellent! Pics soon?

Yes for sure!

All I need to do is get off my arse, and meet up with Flash to do the deal
