Nice, Gareth. I like how your braided cord matches the organizer. I dig the khaki color in general, too. As many have said before me, black looks too tactical.

You know I hadn't even realised I was colour coordinating.

I'm very much a green/brown colour fan when it comes to gear so the black would have just looked odd when put next to my other stuff.

David · **Reply #272 on:** October 27, 2010, 06:52:51 PM

Nioce set up Gareth. I liked basic black for a long time. Altho I had some other colors also. But I find myself getting more kakhi, tan, coyote brown and some OD colored stuff now days.

You need to cut up your credit card and put it in there too now Gareth - this MaxP thing gets out of hand you know

too late for me.
is there a "my credit card is owned by Maxpedition" club?

mzil · **Reply #275 on:** October 28, 2010, 04:49:02 PM

I know of one good use for a credit card; I keep an expired one in my Maxpedition EDC PO as a door lock liberator. (well, actually, a plastic store gift card).

There's an even better material for this application used by locksmiths called "super mica" but I can't find any way to purchase a small, inexpensive quantity so I make do with the gift card.

Note: I get locked out of my home sometimes. I'd never use nor advocate any illegal use of such items, just to be clear.

[eta: They also make a good form to wrap a small quantity of EDC duct tape around.]

Yup, my duct tape is wrapped round a credit card (or room pass card if I'm honest).

My duct tape is around a how-do-you-call-a-screw-with-flat-tip-and-an-loop-on-the-other-side?, with a lenght of double-sided tape. a bit more bulky than a lipstick, easy to carry.

^An eye bolt? [hyperlink failed. see next line:]

yes, one of those

There are many Pocket Organizers, but this one is mine:

glorn · **Reply #282 on:** November 07, 2010, 04:56:18 PM

Nice set up, Thehunt!

Which 111 Vic is that? Appears to be a Sentinel maybe?

What is that Vic pen-looking thing?

And... what's in the Ziploc bag?

Thehunt · **Reply #283 on:** November 07, 2010, 07:04:15 PM

Thanks!

The Vic is a Nomad, alternating with the Forrester C.
The Pen-thingie is a Victorinox sharpening stick, works quite well so far.

The Ziplock bag holds a space blanket. Another zippie is in the mesh pocket, containing painkillers, bandaids and steri-strips

Not to let this thread die, here is my current load in my organiser:

mzil · **Reply #286 on:** December 14, 2010, 04:26:27 PM

Thanks, Gareth.

What's in the flat black sheath in the second photo, I can't quite make it out?

Your picture reminded me of something I wanted to share with everyone. For people like me who rarely ever use a tape measure but would like to have an emergency one on hand, just in case, that's super small/light, wallet sized, disposable if it breaks, and effectively free, I've come to discover one can print one out and assemble it oneself with transparent tape (we call that "scotch" tape around these parts but I'm not sure if that's the international term):

Printable Tape Measures and Rulers

Be sure not to use "shrink to fit" or any other such printer alterations. If one constructs it using a real yard/meter stick underneath as a template while taping it all together, one can have a reasonably accurate end product. Certainly not as durable as the real deal, but if you tend to use such things as infrequently as I do, the the savings is size/bulk is worth it. I keep it folded up in a credit card compartment, (clear vinyl holder), along with other flat small things (bandaids/plasters, magnifying fresnel lens, folded shopping bag, etc.) in the back section of my EDC organizer.

Gareth · **Reply #287 on:** December 14, 2010, 04:35:23 PM

Excellent link mzil.

The leather sheath contains a DC4 sharpener. Great 'on the go' sharpening tool IMO.

Nice idea!
Here in Germany you often find free paper tape measures at hardware stores or large furniture stores (like IKEA), together with notepads and pencils. I never thought about it, but next time I will take one with me to add it to my EDC organizer. Something to measure is missing in there!

nuphoria · **Reply #289 on:** December 14, 2010, 07:05:54 PM

Yep, I have IKEA tapes all over the place!

Groovy set up G-man

That still happens for me all the time.

Here's my latest reorg of my Organiser. Tried to keep it simple. Chose against bulking it up with a full size multitool; generally where this Organiser is there is a multitool not far off

If not the Micra and other bits should be able to cope with most emergencies

Gareth · **Reply #293 on:** January 16, 2011, 08:35:40 PM

Looks good Dan.

cerbera147 · **Reply #294 on:** January 16, 2011, 09:57:44 PM

Thanks Gareth

I have tried to keep it Every Day Carry as much as possible. At one point it was loaded with all manner of things, almost like a bail out bag. For that reason it didn't see much use

Hopefully this setup will hold what I need on a daily basis or could need

enki_ck · **Reply #295 on:** March 17, 2011, 03:41:24 PM

To give a bump to a great thread.

The skeletool often goes in my pocket. The notebook and bit set in the back of the left side, the e-reader -> right side.

Vladimir · **Reply #296 on:** March 25, 2011, 04:24:21 PM

I just received Maxedition Mini Organizer, I now have to choose what to put in it...
This one is perfect in size.
I like the older and bigger version, but this one is excellent.

Gareth · **Reply #297 on:** March 25, 2011, 06:56:32 PM

Very nice mate. If the mini had been around when I was buying I know I'd have gone for it. Still might yet. Looking forward to seeing what you can get in there.

AHB · **Reply #298 on:** March 25, 2011, 06:57:43 PM

Looking forward to more pics Vladimir..

Maxedition Mini Organizer

Well hellooooooooooooowwwww.

Didn't realise they existed until this post but something that I can actually put in a pocket looks fantastic. I will have one.
