Greatly downsized my sewing kit to 3 large safety pins, 2 sewing needles and a few colors of thread, and 2 spare buttons.I think the only things i kept that are in the 'ever' category are the sewing kit and toilet paper.

Well they can pry my sewing kit out of my cold dead hand if they can. And a am a guy!
I think to an extent we evolve. I have a thread about my reevaluated carry. I stopped carrying a MT on my off days which was really weird. I try to stay fluid tho with what I'll carry, It was never my intention to go small or go minimal. It is interesting to see others follow a similar path tho. I've heard many say, the more you know, the less you need to carry, or something like that. Its all situational really. Its never been my intention to solve everything that may come my way. I see peoples carries get larger and larger with contingency upon contingency built in. First aid kits that rival EMTs kit. I pushed my Manager pretty hard so I think your Rambler will hold up just fine against those beers. Whats interesting is possibly no more CCW.
What a great kit! Do they still make them?

I got mine from Israel for 25€. I described how to make one in this two posts:http://forum.multitool.or....msg753331.html#msg753331and:http://forum.multitool.or....msg753347.html#msg753347It is not hard to make, but it is somewhat time consuming. I was planning to make a more hi-tech version:https://forum.multitool.org/index.php?topic=59649.0But for now haven't gotten around to actually doing it yet...

Unfortunately the first two links don't work.

How/Where do you EDC it?Sent from my XT1635-01 using Tapatalk
I've always carried TP on my person (as long as I'm note at home). And it has come in handy many times, my only problem is, the Kleenex type of tissue is really bulky, and the friction alone tears it all apart. Do you carry it in your bag or in your pockets? I placed some TP in a little ziplock bag, but the bag wouldn't survive much longer and the paper was all mangled up.
Excellent topic as always.
Most of us carry gadgets is for the self satisfaction of knowing the "what if" are covered.It is NOT overcarrying unless you feel uncomfortable doing so, both physically and mentally.

I don't disagree with either of those previous two posts. I'm just talking about my EDC. What others carry and where their comfort line is is their business. I tested out the Rambler last night on beers. Many... MANY beers. So many beers. It is not awesome, but it does work. Some caps seem to get the edge rolled under in some spots, so it's not just a matter of popping the beer open, but rather finding the spot most likely to let the cap lifter's hook get purchase. Also, the thinness of the hook means that it occasionally tears the cap, and has to be repositioned for a second prying.Deep thoughts on bottle opening. But it works. Further updates as they develop.
