Just sharing my work EDC.

In my pockets, small wallet with documents, cards and money.
Small folder (kershaw shuffle)
Gerber Dime
And Vic hanger for my keys ( not on pic)

My belt is a Gerber EDC. I like the small solid tool that comes with the belt

A small and cheap organizer in two parts. The small one with medicament inside

Inside the big one:
Pens
Flashlight
Container with FAK and coffee packets
Gerber MP-400 and bit kit
Victorinox Ranger
Small wrench
Mini Bic
Kershaw Tx-Tool

And not pictured, all Covid-19 stuff

Are we having to show work EDC on day 1 as well? If so, I can't until the 2nd Dec' (as I'm not back until then)  :ahhh

Also, some kit is "prohibited/restricted" (not just reasonable excuse stuff) so taking it home is not always an option.

All I can post today/tomorrow is the home EDC  :-[

If I can, I'll take shots of what's possible on the 2nd  :tu:

The SAR stuff depends on when and if a callout comes? (different callouts/different kit) 
Am I ok doing this or have I fallen at the first hurdle  ::) :twak: :ahhh

Day 1



Just going into day 1, and would like to lay out my stuff for the month.


I replaced the safety pin with a CountyComm wiggy bar and throw in a couple more alcohol wipes.  Turn the paracord into a quick release bracelet, if I don't get good at some knots, at least I will be good at tying a quick release paracord bracelet at the end.  I don't usually carry this much stuff around, so hopefully this setup won't feel too much to bear by the end of the month. :D

Getting ready to leave for work which is a stay over for me, hence I'm committed to my carry!  I'm going to swap the keychain Classic out for the Executive, in honor of its end of production.   No other changes.  Here we go!!!

2) FX (+ pocket slip) 

3) GPT & random Vic' pocket slip (fits in the pouch the JPST now lives in, even in the Vic' slip) 

4) Swiss+Tech Utili-Key (part of key wallet)

5) True Utility Trolly-Dolly (see 4) 

6) Spare 'cuff key (see 5)

Torch

1) Fenix E01 (and phone back up)

 Sundries

1) Warrant Card/Badge Holder containing bank + C/C etc (I don't use a wallet)

2) Phone 

3) Reading Glasses 

4) Watch 

5) Face Covering 

6) Sanitiser (spelt correctly  :pok::rofl:
Good luck all and I look forward to our collective wise/bad choices  :drink:

Without my work EDC I have little left:

- a small SAK with scissors (Ambassador)
- a larger SAK with saw (a mod: Farmer w/o opener layer)
- keys
- card wallet
- small flashlight
- cell phone
- handkerchief
- tobacco with rolling paper and BIC lighter
 
I may have one or two pics later (I´m not going to make it 30 days in a row).

Day 0:

To start out this will be a minimalist EDC. A Vic Spirit, wallet with ID, EU medical card, bank card and a magnifying glass and a cellphone. Normally I'd add the public transport ID, but since I'll be working from home for at least 2 weeks in December, this is more of a sometimes carried item than an actual every day carried item

Day 1:
Cometh the hour, cometh the gear:



13 items:
1. iPhone - general use and back up payment tool
2. PK Design Lab Tactical Pen
3. Covid19 mask
4. The Wine Master - Independence day, Christmas and New Year looming so some use is foreseen
5. The Grafter - good solid knife with a good blade for cutting cigars
6. St Dupond Art Deco lighter
7. MB SwissCard
8. Fiat Allis money clip (has 2 small blades) and cash in case payment tools fail
9. Paperclip
10. MB Garmin smarsmurfch - needed for weight loss challenge and as a primary payment tool
11 Gerber Guppie
12. My Classic Old West Society badge - my good luck charm
13. Trusty hip flask - does what it says on the tin

Keys are missing and would count as items 14 and 15 I guess.

I’m not totally happy, 2 blades is beyond my normal approach and I thought long and hard on replacing them with either SwissChamp or Handyman. Both can open a bottle, cut a cigar and do stuff that these two can’t. They do not do it with quite the same style than the duo chosen methinks. Hence, two blades it is.

Items to be carried in pockets when out and about or kept close by when home.

Ok, so here's my EDC for Dec.

- Mens bag
- Mobile/Cell phone (fits into the front pocket of the bag)
- Pocket Caddy
- 74mm SAK
- Watch



This is in the bag.
- Reading glasses
- Wallet with SwissCard lite
- Flashlight (Nitecore TIP)
- Fisher Pen
- Leatherman Mini Tool
- First Aid Blanket
- Two Altoids tins
- Big plaster (fits junior's knees)
- Paper tissues



The first Altoids tin has plasters in various sizes, 4 paracetamol, Iodine salve for wounds/inflamations etc.



The second Altoids tin is the McGyver one holding...

- Shoe lace
- Safety pins
- Split ring
- Super glue
- Cable ties
- paper
- magnet pad (in the lid, can be cut)
- Small roll of duct tape
- some nylon string
- paper clips
- sewing needle and thread
- plasters
- 2 paracetamol
- small carabiner
- small ink cartridge
- wooden toothpicks
- 4 small double sided sticky patches



Here's the pocket caddy with a Swisstool Spirit X, Victorinox scale tool Pen, Lumintop Tool AA 2.0...



For the coin/watch/5th pocket I've decided on the Vic. Executive...



Now here comes an actual challenge for me as I rarely wear a watch these days.
However, I think that I do rely on the smart phone too much, so I'm trying to change that a bit by wearing a watch again.
I'll go with my trusty Sinn 157, full stainless steel case and band adding up to a 153 grams dangling from my left wrist...




Good luck to all...  let's have some fun  :drink:

Day 1

Morning All, have just added 2 items from what I posted on weekend, a tiny nanobag that opens up into a rucksack and a face mask in a ziplock.

So my list is:

Sunglasses (either worn, hooked over shirt neck or in shirt pocket)

Reef Knot Wallet - folding reading glasses, SAK Bantam, 2 band aids, insect repellent wipe, hand wipe, cash, cards, safety pin, toothpick, fresnel lens

Nanobag, nicorettes and face mask in pockets

Clip on pocket on waist for phone and USB back up battery with built in cables

Keychain clipped to pocket with house key, Nitecore TIKI, peanut lighter and SAK Manager



All went with me on today’s 7am dog walk and feels good

:cheers:
