Today is one of the - very few - days where I have to SUIT UP! (I love Barney Stinson btw

) so I wanna show you my EDC for formal clothing.

The iPhone is he same as always, but I do not carry a light (OK, there´s a Fenix E01 on my keys, not on the picture), no wallet (but a Cricket full serrated serving as a money clip), fountain pen (Mini Pilot Petit1) instead of a ballpoint and a Swiss+Tech tool where I normally carry a LM Juice. The SOG Access Card 2 arrived today (just in time), before that I carried a Fällkniven U2 for formal clothing EDC.

Nice suit EDC mate.

You could still do a lot with that lot.

Yep, especially with those nasty Fisherman's Friend: they seem to be the only thing that can help me when it gets cold. Really, no joke. Your throat aches? Chew on a few of those and see what happens. Best "tool" for the winter. It feels like swallowing lava, but it works.

PS Fenix E01 on the keys: who doesn't have one? Uberuseful!

I haven't tried them in years, I think I might have to give them another shot.

Benner · **Reply #515 on:** November 13, 2009, 07:45:00 PM

I tried them years ago and didn'tlike them, but I will try them again.

Woz · **Reply #516 on:** November 13, 2009, 09:07:28 PM

Fishermans Friends are nice and perfect for winter EDC - they really help. I like Grether´s Pastilles too, they are fruity without mint. So I carry both and decide if I like minty or fruity throat-friendly EDC

BTW: Fishermans Friends Lemon Mint... Hmmmmmm

american lockpicker · **Reply #517 on:** November 13, 2009, 09:44:41 PM

They make wild cherry flavoured fisherman's freind?

Bowman1911 · **Reply #518 on:** November 13, 2009, 09:53:15 PM

Flavored Fisherman's friends?!?!?! OH MY GOD!!! The sun just got brighter, the clouds just became fluffier, air just got a little more sweet! Thank you for makin' my day!!! I love them nasty, menthol tastin' smurfs, but have only ever found the origional flavor. Now don't get me wrong they work like a charm, but taste like a bag of buttholes. *

DaveK · **Reply #519 on:** November 13, 2009, 09:54:51 PM

I absolutely love the original flavoured Fisherman's Friends, but the ones in the stripy packet are the work of Satan.

Bowman1911 · **Reply #520 on:** November 13, 2009, 09:57:34 PM

I get mine at walmart in the tin & use them for psk's & fak's. They're always on clearance. I'm almost certain I'm the only person that buys any of 'em there.

Woz · **Reply #521 on:** November 13, 2009, 10:04:37 PM

Oh, there are quite some flavors available:

MINT (classic)
Mint sugarfree
Apple and Cinnamon
Salmiakk
Citrus
Anisseed
Mandarin
Extra Strong
Lemon
Blackcurrant
Cherry
Original Extra Strong
And in some countries Liquorice

I like most of them, but Salmiakk, Liquorice and Anisseed are distgusting imho...

Try putting the Original Extra Strong in a bottle of vodka for a week... Then your mind really gets blown..

Bowman1911 · **Reply #524 on:** November 13, 2009, 10:50:18 PM

When they're dissolved you shouldn't be able to see through the bottle...

Just Shake the bottle from time to time.. Strong stuff, aquired taste..

Bowman are the Fishermans friends you buy in the States made in the UK ? Also I've been trying to get a tin over here for ages but cant find one

I may have to get an old one off ebay . Could you post a pic of yours please ?

Bowman1911 · **Reply #528 on:** November 14, 2009, 05:18:10 PM

I'll try & get a pic up tomorrow. Just about to bed down between doubleshifts. If you're still lookin', I'll try to pick you up a couple next time I buy some more.

I want to try them; where did you find them, Jason? Of course I see this when I'm back at State, so I didn't know to ask you when we met, haha. XD

Anthony · **Reply #530 on:** November 16, 2009, 02:23:39 AM

So I gather Fishermans Friend is some kind of mint/cough drop that tastes like crap but works?

What places in the US carry it?

It says made in England on the bottom of the tin. If bowman doesn't want to put up a pic I will.

Bowman1911 · **Reply #532 on:** November 16, 2009, 07:11:39 AM

I'm unable to locate the wifey's camera at present, so if you don't mind Lockpicker? And for Rex & Corrugated, I get mine at Walmart. Seems to be more at the old style little crappy Walmarts more than the Super variety, but I'll check all the Walmarts I visit here in my area when I make my rounds. When I pick 'em up, they're always marked $1.00 btw, if you see 'em & they're more than that, just wait, they'll come down shortly.

american lockpicker · **Reply #533 on:** November 16, 2009, 08:01:18 AM

Heres the Fisherman's friend tin and an Altoids tin(for comparison.)

Heres a close up.

Made in England, as long as it is I'll still buy it.

Heres the label, I wish I could have got it all it one picture but at least its readable this way.

Label continued.

An Altoids tin. Seeing as its no longer made in Great Britain I guess this is a collecter's item now.

Also I should note inside the FF tin is a pouch containing the lozenges. I've seen just the pouches for sale but not very often.

Thanks for posting the pics

I'm watching a nice old tin on ebay .

Full dump from today:

List of goodies:

1. HTC Touchpro
2. Wallet filled with debt
3. Stainless steel Sharpie (in the cutting room today)
4. Cybertimer 41 in its Leatherman sheath
5. Keys with Atwood Wildcard, JDR Pyrhana, Vic Rambler and Fenix LD01
6. Colobri Lighter (In Timbuk2 bag)
7. Leatherman Juice CS4 (In Timbuk2 bag)

All resting on Timbuk2 bag

I'm thinking the Juice is gonna be replaced with a Wave. The compact size of the Juice isn't an advantage in the bag, so might as well have pliers in the BigDog range.

nuphoria · **Reply #536 on:** November 16, 2009, 09:49:20 PM

Lots of gadgety goodness there Mr.W

I think a bag is better served by a larger tool too. Ti in the bag for me, whereas I'm pocket carrying a Juice when I have no bag ATM.

Benner · **Reply #537 on:** November 16, 2009, 11:01:24 PM

Ain't that the truth. I know exactly what you mean.

Nice EDC mix. I am not sure why but I really like that ss sharpie. I have to look up info on it and see if it provides for refills.

Thanks (to all).

The SS Sharpie has refills available. I really like it. Very nice tactile sense to it.
