I have no problems whatsoever joining sir if you don't mind me basically posting that I only used my SAK scissors everyday and rarely a knife than a dedicated kitchen knife at home. I doubt anything more than that at least in the first 20 days of that challenge.

I feel like at that point my posts will be more if an irritation compared to the rest of the great things all the others will be doing

But hey I am definitely open to join

It wouldn’t be an irritation.  Some people go through challenges with many days being mail opening.  They are more for seeing if what you use during the challenge meets your needs, while nice pictures give a bonus.

As SOS already said, your participation would be very welcome and in no way an irritation.

The point of these challenges is not to post exciting pictures, but for participants to evaluate a specific tool or, in this case, a set of EDC items. Posting a photo everyday is meant to keep people engaged. The challenge is really for you, but by posting your photos, uses, non-uses, and insights, you can help us all think about EDC carry options and evaluate our own needs. Sometimes in these challenges someone gives us all a new perspective or insight on how a tool can be used.

Collectively, we hope to get more out of these challenges than we might alone. So, join in! There is no need to stress out about the challenge or how you participate!  :tu:

Re flashlights/torches, I've been very happy with my Lumintop EDC01. AAA; three well spaced light levels; comes with the best carabiner clip I've had; stands on its end. I use it every night for bathroom stops and a cheap alkaline battery (shhhh!) lasts for months. Low is usually sufficient indoors; medium outdoors. Its level order is a sensible low > medium > high. It remembers the last light level used. The twist action is smooth and it doesn't turn itself on in my pocket. It throws an even beam with a tint that's just slightly cool, not objectionable unless you're really fussy.

Also, I apologize to the OP for my silly derailment earlier. Truly sorry about that. Fortunately it was somewhat out of character.

Definitely worth checking out. I am short listing a few relatively cheap flashlights that have good capacity for their size. Most probably will get it on my birthday next year. I have hear that Lumintop ard some of the best budget lights out there and the EDC01 looks very nice

I am torn if I should get a Pioneer X first or a flashlight first. Hopefully few good offers arise over here so I can get both soon enough

Your Explorer Plus includes all the PX functions and more, so I'd get the light first. You might be surprised at how much you use it. Much more convenient than using a phone. Even a simple squeeze light can do - they're very inexpensive.

Your Explorer Plus includes all the PX functions and more, so I'd get the light first. You might be surprised at how much you use it. Much more convenient than using a phone. Even a simple squeeze light can do - they're very inexpensive.

This is why I love this forum. It's full of lovely people who are always ready to help you with anything and give great advice about all sorts of gear with a lot of experience using it themselves.  :cheers:

With wanting to carry the items you listed and realizing the best combo may not be in one tool, you could always carry all the items together in a mission wallet or similar.

Here is one with a Pioneer X, Luminous EDC01 and Fesnal Lens

That looks absolutely perfect  :drool:
It is slim, inconspicuous, elegant,  lightweight , minimal and meets every requirement and then some

I would also say get the light first.  The Mission wallet is a lovely way to carry small gear.  I use a leather set up myself as I like the way leather feels and looks when aged.  I looked at the Mission wallet and might have to take a closer again  :whistle:

That is a good setup but I do love my traditional old wallet.
Old habits die hard I guess
