Poncho, have you seen the pill towels?  They are really small and you hydrate them so they expand into a sheet 9x9 ( some ) and would be a great space saver.  Being damp they would be great to wipe a bum. 

I have seen them  :cheers: if you are referring to the washcloth type or do you mean something else :think:

I also carry a pack of wipes in there :salute:

 :tu: Yes.  I have some that are decent.  I was actually gonna order some "nicer" ones since they can be very handy to carry several and they're pretty strong.  Wipes are great and thats what I tend to carry in my vehicle.  Probably not a topic we've brought up but if you are on site with port o potties then we all know it always best to have your own supplies. 

Been on enough as I'm sure you have to know how best to navigate those.   :whistle:

Toboggan?

As with several garments across the pond we have different names for many things here ;) that is why I added the / and beanie when mentioning them ;) :cheers: It is a bit of a regional name as well :salute:

It would actually be a tobaggan hat or cap, as well as beanie,  watch cap or stocking cap. It is usually called a baggan here where I live  :D

Speaking of snow:

Two dyslexic guys are at the top of a ski slope.

One points to the slalom run and says, "Fancy zig zagging down the slalom run?"

The other replies,"Zig zag? Don't you mean zag zig?"

After ten minutes arguing whether slalom involved zig zagging or zag zigging, they both decide to ask someone at the bottom of the slope.

They put their goggles on and down the slope they go. They reach the bottom and see a man about to make his way up the hill.

"Excuse me, could you settle an argument for us? When you go down a slalom run do you zig zag or zag zig?"

The guy paused for a moment and said, "I'm sorry, I can't help you. I'm a tobogganist."

So the pair replied, "Fine, give us two packs of Marlboro then."


 :whistle:

I don’t carry them on my person, but I do carry them everyday in a small Eastpack “The One” shoulder pouch that I take to work and travel with each day…

Anker 10000 Power Bank

Universal charging cable.

Earbuds for phone

AC adapter

I also carry a water bottle.

In a world so dependent on cellphone technology, I feel more comfortable when going out all day if I have a power backup and ability to recharge if needed.

Nice straightforward carry.  10K backup is a good amount without being too big.   :tu:.  I like the bag you carry too.

The Maxpedition serves as my wallet and goes with me everywhere. In it I carry a lighter, a rechargeable flashlight, a Stanley 4-in-1 screwdriver, a Pokka pen, a Minichamp, a CRKT Pryma, and a Pocketwrench II.

I wear the Nite Ize pouch everyday I work. It contains a permanent marker, a mechanical pencil, a pen, a 3" County Comm prybar, a multitool (still carrying the modded Rebar I used during the Rebar Challenge), and my Charge knife. I sometimes pocket carry the Charge knife and a Bond on the weekends when I am not wearing the pouch.



This Dewalt pouch is my portable toolbox. I can only wear it on my belt when I have suspenders on, but it follows me everywhere I go. It contains my Gerber DualForce, Knipex 125 mm Cobra, Leatherman Crunch, various bits, various ratchets and extensions for my multitools, a Klein ratchet, foldable scissors from a Chinese MT, 6" 1/4" & 5/16" drivers, 6" bit extension, combo 1/4" & 5/16" driver, combo 3/8" & 7/16" driver, a razor blade, and a 4" County Comm prybar.

Overkill?  :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
Yes it is. But I somehow have to justify all of this stuff to my wife  :D

I almost forgot my work knife:


It is in my pocket ever day that I work.

I usually always carry a pen and notebook. Even in this time of electronics, its still easier for me to write stuff down.

Thanks Poncho! Well the stuff on top is easy enough to see I guess, but it's a Cricket lighter, the LM Micra, Zebra F-701 pen, Gerber Prybrid, Lever Gear cable kit and an LED upgraded Maglite AAA flashlight. Behind the scenes is a Knipex XS pliers, Moleskine notepad, small boo boo kit, super glue with some tinder shoved into the Maxpedition label sleeve. The other side in the back is an 8000 mA power bank, some duct tape, a bit of cash, zip ties, jewelers screwdriver and some micro chord.

Watch: A watch is a functional accessory that many people wear daily to keep track of time.

Funny thing is this is just my basic kit for everyday but still useful, only thing what i really dont like in this kit is duct tape, reason for this is that duct tape isnt best tape anymore since i have found gaffer tape what is much better alternative to duct tape. I just need to make smaller roll for gaffer tape

KatieWard, nice times which seem to be "staples" of most EDC.  Welcome to MTO. 

Antti Lammi, thanks for sharing.  Your everyday kit is simple which I like.  The backpack kit is very nice.  I agree gaffers tape is terrific.  I had a small amount and I really liked it.

I actually used it first time at work last year and my coworker (roadiet) introduced to me gaffer tape. Its awesome since it doesnt leave residue even after long time. Now i have  few big rolls of it and need to make smaller form to edc it

Mainly fidgeting, but also sometimes for playing. That d20 and d12 are so fun fidgeting around.
