As there are threads and clubs for various multi tools I thought we could have one for the seemingly popular Maxpedition EDC Organiser (http://www.maxpedition.com/store/pc/viewPrd.asp?idproduct=961&idcategory=0) :drink:
I would be keen to see what everyone else is stocking theirs with and get some ideas all in one handy thread :D
Obviously this isn't limited the Maxped version; all edc organisers welcome :salute:
So here is mine. I only got it a couple of days ago and this is my first set up.

You certainly squeezed a lot of utility into that mate :tu:
-
Yay. Don't let Mike in though. He hasn't got one.
Or Allan :D

The one I ordered in khaki showed up today. No photo yet though it's almost full now except for a peanut lighter and tweezer I am waiting on. I filled it with useful stuff I will be transferring between a couple of Maxpedition bags that I use though it will primarily be in the Pygmy Falcon II that is my EDC bag. The EDC Organizer fits perfectly in the front slash pocket of the PFII and the little grab handle is ideal for pulling it back out of the pocket. So far I'm pretty happy with it. :tu:
-
Are these really meant to be used to organise a pocket? I tried mine in a cargo pocket and couldn't get things back in without taking the damn thing out of my pocket every time. :ahhh
I will probably just end up using it as everyone else seems to, to transfer stuff between bags and stop it rattling about. It just seems silly they would market something as a pocket organiser that can't be used in a pocket. :think:
-
I'll thrown mine in here. Just got it a few days ago. I've messed around with the order some, but here's the first pic.

I love this thing.
-
Do we get a free patch when we join? :pok: :D
-
You know, there is a spot for a patch on the front of these things.....Good idea!!!
Whoever started the thread should provide the patches. :D
-
I'm not getting the Maxpedition Organizer when I get one, but one from a maker on a different forum... but yes, I'm still waiting on the MTO velcro patches. :D :pok:
-
seems like a few of us got ours not too long ago huh? santa brought mine. i've got pens on the left side and a pair of 4x6 memo pads on the right

I'm not sure that the intention is for one to reach into the pocketed organizer and extract items and then put them back. Rather, one is expected to pull the organizer out, retrieve the item, and then put it back into the pocket. Thus the grab handle.
Of course I think they are best inside a larger bag, but...
-
Feels odd posting it again so soon, but..

I own a lot of Maxpedition and some Spec-Ops gear, but not this Maxpedition organizer. I don't have a pocket large enough for it.
Can you open up this organizer and zip it inside out? That would make it easier to access gear while the organizer is inside your pocket without removing the organizer.
-
I have one, thanks to Yellowhammer :D but I haven't quite figured out what to use it for yet.
Currently it has the "extra" stuff which can be taken out of the bag easily when not needed. The sort of thing in there is paracord, hand sanitiser, arnica stick, tape measure and things like that. It's very bulked out as these items are quite thick added up.
This may of course change like the wind! ::)

Good idea :tu: Who did start this thread? :think: [Off to find a mod to change thread lol]
Milspec Monkey (http://milspecmonkey.com/morale-page/morale-patches) have some interesting patches; Dave got some recently :D
-
I ordered a few from MilSpecMonkey. I'll have to get some pics up later.
-
I'm having a rethink on mine, now I've tried it for a week and have learned some things......
I'm still not totally sure, but the concept works, now I need to refine it a bit :-\
I may actually get another :D

Ooh, the organisation sickness has got you baaaad! :D
If you want other cases without all the bits in, I got a couple of Crumpler ones for £2 from www.bigoffers.co.uk which were a serious bargain. They have a bunch of cheapo stuff worth checking out and delivered quite fast too.
-
I'll check those out - thanks Chris :tu:
I do kind of have my eye on a foliage green Maxped one though :D
I'm taking Glorn's advice and have ordered the triple mag holder (http://www.heinnie.com/x5wvym1044954/Bags-and-Wallets/Maxpedition/Accessories/Maxpedition-Triple-Magazine-Holder/p-281-289-358-4365/), and that's where I'm going to put the Charge I think, in the CCW pocket on the Fatboy :-\
The organiser will then be made more legal / sheeple friendly by putting a PST or Juice, PST II or something in there, with the UKPK in my pocket.
So many things to consider :ahhh
-

dave- mine is foliage with milspecmonkey's patch on it. i think that is the best patch i can have on it since i use it at work and dont want to tick off too many people ::)

:tu: It is a small and unassuming bit of kit, but it sure does make that pocket useful. Especially for the tool junkie.
But..
What will you put in the built in sheath? Torch?
And what will you put in the add-on sheath? You know, when you order it.. ;)
So many things to consider :ahhh
It never ends. But then, getting there is half the fun, isn't it? :D
And new kit comes out every year. So the evolution continues. It's almost a hobby in and of itself. I can think of many more useless hobbies though. At least my obsessions make my daily life easier.
-
Lol - so true!
Lot's to ponder, and yes, it is definitely fun :D
-
Thinking I need another one as well ::)
One for EDC gear and one for my electronic gadgets :D
Might fill it with electronic gear to see what it's like :D
-
Tinkering with stuff configuration is definitely one of my main hobbies, but I realise that I get a lot of enjoyment out of it without having to buy new stuff (too often).
It really is half the fun of being in to this stuff for me personally :D
-

Well it arrived this morning and now I'm wondering how the hell I managed before - so cheers for the tip Glorn mate :cheers:
With my Fatboy, and with my old Thermite, I never used the CCW pocket much at all, because I couldn't see a practical use for it. Now I can!

Cheers to you! :cheers:
Isn't it terrific that they came up with such a smart little thing? I gotta say, Maxpedition really has it together over there. Which is precisely why I don't mind playing unpaid spokesperson for them. It simply is rock solid kit.
Now, are you carrying the organizer in the main pocket? It works very well. As I said before, all you need now is a "single sheath" like this (http://www.maxpedition.com/store/pc/viewPrd.asp?idproduct=187&idcategory=9) to attach on the side pouch. You know, with the built in sheath and the add-on sheath... and the triple mag holder... one could carry any combination of five items and still have the rest of the bag free. So you could have 2 MTs, 2 lights, and a good size folder... or 2 folders, 2 MTs and a light... or.... :ahhh

Dave, that is a drool worthy kit. :salute:
Here are some comparison shots of a Maxpedition vs. a CountyComm vs. a surplus store model whose maker I have forgotten:
(http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4065/4299564168_a2e4fe36f0.jpg)
(http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4052/4299565512_b7c7e3049a.jpg)
Top is Maxpedition, Bottom Left is surplus store, Bottom Right is CountyComm
All of them were worth the money. The Maxpedition was the most expensive by far, but it is also the most feature rich, well built, and largest. The other two are similar, but the CountyComm is nicer. It has nicer stitching, better interior fabric, and better elastic. The surplus version is a bit shoddy on the finish. It does have a subdivided right side pocket though, which is kind of nice. Oddly enough, the CountyComm was the cheapest, not the surplus version.
Still, I like them all for what they are. The surplus version houses my cocktail recipe moleskine and a pen. CountyComm is currently on holiday.

Dave I think my phone camera shows it at a lighter shade on the tag it says MAXP-246-G it's definitely darker green than this pic portrays ;)
(http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u122/titan1833/002-78.jpg)
[edit] Just love that patch BTW :drool: :tu:
-
Hmmm - I still can't tell!
Maxpedition's Khaki is a lot more green than some manufacturer's - I reckon that could be it. I have (pending a trade) a Khaki Thermite Versipack, and a cocoon pouch here and holding them up to the screen, there isn't much difference.
OD Green:

What is your folding spoon thingy? I almost got a Spork today then I remember someone here talking about a titanium Spork :drool: Just wondered what you're using :)

I'm still toying with the EDC Org theme :tu: tho the Max EDC Org didn't turn out for me I'm looking for something more like this I'm working with ATM but maybe a more robust version :think:,JMO but I'm looking for that happy medium low profile footprint and removable organizer insert :think: I don't think the fanny pack appeals to many but it's a start :D BTW I'm getting it all in here same as in the Max EDC O dimensions 230mm length x 100mm height x 30mm thick(fully loaded) :salute:
I'm keeping to this theme as I'm sure I'll find that perfect system eventually :think: :D for the moment it's easier to carry on my waist unlike the Max "which is great for some people" you have to carry in hand or bag or you could attach to a belt but I found it to baulky IMO.

Easy: P-51 can opener should you find yourself in the kitchen with a can and can't find a can opener in there. ;)
Also, how about a proper listing of what all you have in there, while you're at it? :D

Yes Allan you need a ruler/ measuring tape,surprising how much they get used when you have one in EDC :pok: :D

USB drive, Small BIC Lighter, LM Micra, Atwood Prybaby, Gerber Infinity Ultra torch and the Charter Member bit kit... ;)
Also a notebook..

The Pocket Wrench does have a ruler that will measure things up to, wait for it, a staggering 2 inches / 5 cm in length ::) Yay :(
I'm not sure if you knew that Allan - but it ain't actually that useful - lol.

I do have a separate stainless ruler (about 12-15 cm) somewhere and I'll add that as soon as i find it.. ;)

I'm still searching for a folding steel rule to fit in there. It's surprising, but there don't seem to be any about :think:

There isn't Dave I've looked for weeks actually the marbles helper is kinda unique :D
BTW I decided to get a little Zippo rule it's tiny 36mm x 36mm x 10mm and measures upto 6 feet ;) :tu:
-
I was looking at the Zippos after someone mentioned them here the other day. They do look useful, but I'd definitely prefer a ruler if I can find one.
I haven't ruled out making one by cutting down a steel rule yet. It looks doable with a bit of patience maybe.
-
I'd thought I had already shown this, but I guess not: DealExtreme (http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.22258) has two inexpensive stainless steel rulers (http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.21416) available. :)

I'm happy with the helper rule for small measurements like flashlight dia,knife blades ect,but for the odd times you need to measure a cooker,table that kinda thing the zippo will be better served I'll just carry both ;)
-
I think the zippo tape was my fault... I'm a gadget enabler >:D
They are just really cute, and they don't evaporate when you don't use them :tu: :D
Those DX rulers look OK for $1.28

Yeah I saw the second one (a bit too big to be ideal) - the first one would be exactly what I was after.
Can't really see me buying 500 of them though :D

Slightly off-topic. Does anyone have the Max 3x5 notepad holder as a mini EDC organizer? I am on my second order on one (2-3 week wait) and want to know if it is worth the wait, Im getting it either way.
-
I got one, and I really like it.
The top loops hold a Leatherman Juice Cs4, a Zebra telescoping pen(with fisher space pen refill) and a 4sevens Quark123.
I have a 3x5 rite in the rain notebook in the bottom sleeve.
Work great for a mini-organizer.

Well I found a cheap solution to my mobile measuring needs in my local post office of all places. It cost £1.49 and I'm not sure it was quite worth it, very cheaply made, but I'll see how it hold up.

Let us know :salute:

I think I got my similar cheap mini tape at Osbournes stationers (UK) for about a quid if anyone needs to get one.

And here is mine, It's still missing some stuff so I will post a pic when it's done.

This thread's gone quiet, so here's an update on mine. During the last month or so, I've finally settled on a combination that works for me, whether I'm at home, work or out and about. I'll often complement the organiser with my Charge and UKPK, but when at work for example, I've lacked nothing so far with just this setup.
(http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e10/DaveK-ToolPics/Organiser20090514.jpg)
1. Cheap fauxton light.
2. Stainless steel Sharpie.
3. Zebra mini LiteRite.
4. Leatherman Crunch (not quite UK legal I know, but hey ho).
5. PST II.
6. 15 cm steel rule.
7. Slim Moleskine notebook.
8. Painkillers.
9. Zebra telescopic pen.
10. Leatherman Serac S1 light.
11. Leatherman Micra.
12. Disposable lighter.
13. Leatherman bit card to complement Charge.
14. Atwood Metwrench.
15. Zippo tape measure.
I'm finding this is a good balance between weight, utility and legality for EDC in the UK. I'm not predicting any major changes now :)
-
Locking crunch =s? Lol I doubt you d get pulled up on it though, why choose a telescopic pen instead of a full sized one? (I'm on my phone so can't see the pic so it might be obvious)
-
.......why choose a telescopic pen instead of a full sized one......
It's just one I happened to have available :)
-
Swap you a nice stainless Parker for it :P It'd match the Sharpie then :D
-
Haha. No It's cool thanks.
The pen was only 4 quid from Partners anyway, good value for money really :)
-
That's a good price, I think they were around six quid in my local stationers.
-
They did little ones for 2.99 and the one in the pic for 3.99.
Well worth picking one up next time your near a Partners mate :)
-
My ones started to bind =( I'm hoping a new Refil and it will be good as new again
-
New guy here from EDC forum. Here's a pic of my edc organizer. It's just the right size.

Nothing serious, but I listen to shortwave and like to fiddle with vintage radios and such. I Also was just given a Nikon D80 by my sister(she upgraded her equipment) and have been learning the ins and outs of handling a quality DSLR.

I like that tripod too. I have a bendy one that I've just added to my new bag having seen that :D

I picked it up a Wal-Mart. I use it for my smaller digicam(Cannon Power Shot SD880 IS Digital Elph)

It doesn't show in the pics, but the legs extend. It's really sturdy for the price.

Belfast City airport was redirecting flights to International this morning due to fog apparently (heard it on the radio in the taxi). My flight to Intn'l was fine though - I got into our office in the city centre for 9am, which ain't bad :)
-
Think I'd be peeved if my car is was at City and I landed at Intl >:(
I imagine they had a shuttle bus though.
I always use City going to Manchester :tu:

Yeah there were buses they said.
I used international for the first time today, as there's no choice from East Mids airport - which is much closer to home for me. It was OK too :)

Drill a hole through "mini tripod" the plastic feet 1/4 " and you can can extend it further with sticks or wire out in the field,height determined to your wish,you can also use a fence or wall to gain height..use your imagination ;)

Here's my EDC Organiser. It's quite new and I am not sure if the setup will last... If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask!
You can't see: a pocket plastic raincoat, a moleskin notebook, some band-aids, a few meters of thin cord, a mirror and a collection of different codes which I use for geocaching (morsecode, ASCII-Code and such things).
-
What's the telescopic thing on the left? I have something similar with a mirror on it but yours seems not to have one.
-
It has a quite strong magnet on the top. It came together with a mirror, but I don't use the telescopic mirror a lot (but I can attach my normal mirror to the magnet, if I need a telescopic mirror).
-
That makes sense :)
-
Nice setup Turnstone.. :)
-
Coming up on a month and mine still hasn't arrived. :rant:
Time to start chasing.

A month :o :ahhh
Where was it coming from? the moon :think: ::)

I had to wait for mine 3 weeks, as far as I can remember, and that after the shop said it is in stock :ahhh Wanted the black one, and it seems that the black ones are hard to get...
-
Yeah I'm after a black one. Wonder if that has anything to do with it.
I ordered a few things to go in it from the same company and about half arrived within a week so I'm guessing they are out of stock on a few items and the Organiser may be on back order.
Hopefully they will get back to me today and let me know what's going on.

I was tempted to get one of those myself - not the biggest but the next one down.

So a month and a day after I order my organiser and a week after an unanswered email I ring the company I've ordered the stuff from.
Me: I got some of my stuff, where's the rest?"
Them: "Uh we have the Organiser here but we are waiting on the last item to arrive. Will be here by the end of the month" (so 2 months from when I ordered it)
Me: "Cancel the rest, send me the bag"
Should have added "WHEN WERE YOU PLANNING ON TELLING ME THIS?" but I'm too nice. Anyway, should be here in a few days........
I won't slag them publicly but if any Aussie or Kiwi's want some feedback on a large antipodean online tactical gear supplier then I would be happy to provide it.
-
That's not great is it ???

Pretty pants actually! >:( Sure mistakes happen and stuff gets delayed all the time but lack of communication there is no excuse for.

Exactly. It still amazes me that some businesses don't get the fact that all they really need to do to is talk to their costumers, especially when things aren't quite going to plan.
-
Quite >:(
LAPG took nearly 2 months to send stuff I ordered to my friends in the US. They didn't bother mentioning on the site or at checkout that half the stuff was out of stock, and they took about another 3 weeks to send an email explaining there were delays.... crap.
-
Same problem with my EDC organiser... The shop website said it was in stock, and after I ordered I got an automatic notification that my order would be delayed for about 10 days. After 20 days I asked politely when I would get my organizer. They told me they would get them on monday. Monday I got a mail that my organiser was shipped, but when I checked the shipping number the parcel went out not on monday but on tuesday :rant: I was really pissed off, and I wrote them an email that it was not OK. But they replied that all was best. The organisers were in stock, only the black one not, so the shop info was correct :think:, and everything else was fine, too. I guess that was the first and last time I ordered there. The shop was a recommendation of the German messerforum.net and got lots of good reviews :ahhh
-
Sorry to hear I'm not alone. Ah well.
I've got a tracking number now anyway so I should be able to start toying with contents in the next few days.
Speaking of Maxpedition, anyone got a triad? I'm very tempted.
http://www.maxpedition.com/store/pc/TRIAD-ADMIN-POUCH-14p479.htm#details
-
Well credit where credit is due, when things are in stock they ship quickly. Its here.
I'm making a conscious effort at the moment to pretty much only put things in it that I already already have loose in my daypack so that's what's shown now in the pic below. Most things should be self explanatory, ask if you have any questions.
I'm sure there will be some changes. I usually have the CRKT M16 in my pocket but I've a SAK (unsure of the exact type sorry-don't hurt me) unused at the moment so that might get subbed in at some point.
Otherwise I really like the bag and as you can see by my post above, it might not be the last Maxped thing I get.

Welcome to club Gareth :salute:

Lighter's one I forgot :doh: and I'll add some cable ties when I get to work tomorrow. I've got a separate FAK right now, but might pack some bits so I don't have to carry both. Cheers Dan. :tu:

USB drive, Pocketwrench, Spycapsule with painkillers, Sharpie, vic toothpick.. :)
Got one of them. My MP3 player acts as an emergency USB (though rarely used), and I normally have a SAK+toothpick in my pocket. A few ibuprofen in a capsule sounds like a good idea though. :tu:

OK here are a couple of pictures (though in the promised bad light).

red capsule with some Ibuprofen
Raker tool
Modified LM Kick

Fenix L0D
Stainless Sharpie
Zebra F-301 Ultra
CRKT Edgie
Short Ti spork
Red lighter
light diffuser
a few meters of 3mm braided cord.
(http://i581.photobucket.com/albums/ss260/gareth_SAKs/multitools/002.jpg)
Slipped in behind we have:
Wrap of some duct tape
DC4 sharpener
Ruler
Notepad
Packet of plasters (band-aids)
-
Nice, Gareth. I like how your braided cord matches the organizer. I dig the khaki color in general, too. As many have said before me, black looks too tactical.

You know I hadn't even realised I was colour coordinating. :D I'm very much a green/brown colour fan when it comes to gear so the black would have just looked odd when put next to my other stuff.
-
Nioce set up Gareth. I liked basic black for a long time. Altho I had some other colors also. But I find myself getting more kakhi, tan, coyote brown and some OD colored stuff now days.

too late for me.
is there a "my credit card is owned by Maxpedition" club?
-
I know of one good use for a credit card; I keep an expired one in my Maxpedition EDC PO as a door lock liberator. (well, actually, a plastic store gift card).
There's an even better material for this application used by locksmiths called "super mica" but I can't find any way to purchase a small, inexpensive quantity so I make do with the gift card.
Note: I get locked out of my home sometimes. I'd never use nor advocate any illegal use of such items, just to be clear.
[eta: They also make a good form to wrap a small quantity of EDC duct tape around.]

Yup, my duct tape is wrapped round a credit card (or room pass card if I'm honest).
-
My duct tape is around a how-do-you-call-a-screw-with-flat-tip-and-an-loop-on-the-other-side?, with a lenght of double-sided tape. a bit more bulky than a lipstick, easy to carry.

Which 111 Vic is that? Appears to be a Sentinel maybe?
What is that Vic pen-looking thing?
And... what's in the Ziploc bag?
-
Thanks!
The Vic is a Nomad, alternating with the Forrester C.
The Pen-thingie is a Victorinox sharpening stick, works quite well so far.
The Ziplock bag holds a space blanket. Another zippie is in the mesh pocket, containing painkillers, bandaids and steri-strips

What's in the flat black sheath in the second photo, I can't quite make it out?
---
Your picture reminded me of something I wanted to share with everyone. For people like me who rarely ever use a tape measure but would like to have an emergency one on hand, just in case, that's super small/light, wallet sized, disposable if it breaks, and effectively free, I've come to discover one can print one out and assemble it oneself with transparent tape (we call that "scotch" tape around these parts but I'm not sure if that's the international term):
Printable Tape Measures and Rulers
http://www.vendian.org/mncharity/dir3/paper_rulers (http://www.vendian.org/mncharity/dir3/paper_rulers)
Be sure not to use "shrink to fit" or any other such printer alterations. If one constructs it using a real yard/meter stick underneath as a template while taping it all together, one can have a reasonably accurate end product. Certainly not as durable as the real deal, but if you tend to use such things as infrequently as I do, the the savings is size/bulk is worth it. I keep it folded up in a credit card compartment, (clear vinyl holder), along with other flat small things (bandaids/plasters, magnifying fresnel lens, folded shopping bag, etc.) in the back section of my EDC organizer.
-
Excellent link mzil. :tu:
The leather sheath contains a DC4 sharpener. Great 'on the go' sharpening tool IMO.

Nice idea!
Here in Germany you often find free paper tape measures at hardware stores or large furniture stores (like IKEA), together with notepads and pencils. I never thought about it, but next time I will take one with me to add it to my EDC organizer. Something to measure is missing in there!
-
Yep, I have IKEA tapes all over the place!

Here's my latest reorg of my Organiser. Tried to keep it simple. Chose against bulking it up with a full size multitool; generally where this Organiser is there is a multitool not far off :D
If not the Micra and other bits should be able to cope with most emergencies :tu:

I have tried to keep it Every Day Carry as much as possible. At one point it was loaded with all manner of things, almost like a bail out bag. For that reason it didn't see much use ::)

Maxedition Mini Organizer
Well hellooooooooooooowwwww.
Didn't realise they existed until this post but something that I can actually put in a pocket looks fantastic. I will have one.

I have a Maxpedition EDC organizer too.. for now it carry only my Fenix PD20.. I gess I will be done with it in a month or so..
gess what? joined this forum to have some suggestion about a good multi to carry or eventually a couple of them to have a wide range of options.. :-)
as soon as I will be done I will post a few pics (if I find out how)

^ I like the monocular idea, PN. I keep going back and forth on it for my own pack. Without a doubt it is a useful addition, but then again the same could be said for a hammer! ;) The question is can one justify the bulk/weight of it for the utility it offers? Decisions, decisions. :think:
P.S. I can't ID what's the center product on the left side. What's that?

I just love these EDC organizers - both Maxpedition sizes as well as the countycomm flavor.

So, after reading through the 22 pages of this post, watching 3,642 YouTube videos on it, and going with a modular system in my new EDC bag (http://forum.multitool.org/index.php/topic,2881.msg487319.html#msg487319), I've decided to join the club. I'm using the Maxpedition EDC Organizer (http://www.maxpedition.com/store/pc/E-D-C-POCKET-ORGANIZER-21p961.htm) as the place to hold the items I use most, but don't carry in my pockets or on my belt.
It's currently a work in progress, undergoing evolution as I find which items I'm reaching for the most. But instead of waiting until there is a finished setup (if there ever will be), I wanted to share pictures as I go (thanks to AHB (http://forum.multitool.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1541) for the idea :tu:)

The contents:
(http://i785.photobucket.com/albums/yy135/turnsouth/EDC/P6140044.jpg)
- A Bic "Round Sitck" medium ball point pen. Ten for a dollar at "back to school" time. Perfect for those "Can I borrow a pen?" and you're not sure if you'll get it back times.
- Full sized set of tweezers.
- BrushPicks (http://www.doctorsnightguard.com/products/brushpicks/overview) in the key chain sized container.
- Zebra F-701 (http://www.zebrapen.com/products/pen/f-701) (un-modded)
- Smith & Wesson Tactical Pen. Because what's a tactical pen case without a tactical pen? Great $20.00 pen. (Actually I was really surprised how well these are made the first time I picked one up. I kept saying to myself "Is this really made by Taylor?")
- The CoreClip (http://forum.multitool.org/index.php/topic,28757.0.html)
- Leatherman Monarch 300 (http://www.leatherman.com/products/product.asp?id=78&f=18&c=4). Great inexpensive pocket light. Perfect for quick carry, and for "I'm not lending that guy my $50.00 flashlight..."
- Quark AA² Tactical, R5 Edition (http://www.4sevens.com/product_info.php?products_id=1656)
All I have in the back pockets right now is a Gerber Diamond Pocket Sharpener (http://www.gerbergear.com/index.php/product/id/59), and 2 spare AA batteries in an old Nite Ize "Spare Power" Mini Mag sleeve:

Thanks. Yea, for some reason I had it stuck in my head that "I just needed finish my load-out" before I posted here. And it wasn't until Allan mentioned me posting here, in my CoreClip post (http://forum.multitool.org/index.php/topic,28757.0.html) that it occurred to me that I may never finish.
Anyway, I'm hoping that I get it to a "mostly" finalized set-up. Similar to what I said, I'm trying to treat it more like an extension of my pocket carry. A place to keep stuff that I would otherwise like to keep on me, but don't want to be lugging around in my pockets all day.
It sure is fun rearranging though... :D
-
I keep trying to ditch things but other stuff creeps in! :ahhh
I like your "current" set up anyway :D

I think I'd want an even cheaper torch for handing out though :)

I buy loads of these that I can give as gifts or lend out to people :tu:

I've thought about keeping a cheap light to lend out, but the idea of someone using my tools, and then getting the impression that I carry cheap junk bothers me.
And besides, Monarch 300's are less than $15.00 now, which doesn't seem too high for a "lender".

Nice setup turnsouth.. :tu:

My (theoretical) solution to the lend out problem.
"Hey, mzil, can I borrow that flashlight I always see you have on you?"
"No"
"Sure but if you break it or scratch it, you owe me another new one of the same. It is a prized tool of mine."
"Sorry, the battery just died."
Then, when/if they see you using it later, if on the same day:
"Well what do you know? I did have an extra spare battery in my other coat/bag/locker after all! Lucky me."
BWA-HA-HA-HA. >:D
-
Thanks Nuphoria, and Allan.
I realized that I made an a couple of omissions in the list of the contents. If you'll look at the little paracord loop that Maxpedition puts on right side, you'll see I keep a "size 0" Nite Ize S-Biner. It's handy when I want to add something temporally to the set-up, or if I want to unload something in my pockets for a while. It's quick and I always know right where I put it.
The other thing you'll see is that I have replaced the knots on the zipper pulls with actual cord ends. Adds a much more finished look, and gives that feeling of sturdiness when they are used. When un-knotted, and cut in half, one pull is the perfect length for two pulls with ends.
I've made two recent changes as well.
I was looking for a better way to store my batteries, AA's for the Quark, and AAA for the Monarch. The Spare Power sleeve is just too bulky the way it holds the batteries end-to-end. I could never find a place for it in the back pocket where it seemed to fit naturally. So I was trying to come up with a method of storing them side-by-side, that way they could tuck down in the bottom, in a space that was not used by the outside tools. And then it hit me, I realized that carrying any batteries in the organizer is not in keeping with my "Things I use most, but don't carry in my pockets" philosophy. So they were relegated to the Nite Ize Hip Pock-Its that resides in the first layer of my EDC bag. Makes a lot more sense (to me anyway), still easily accessible, and allows me to carry more than one spare set as well.
The second change is a exciting new addition:
(http://i785.photobucket.com/albums/yy135/turnsouth/EDC/P6180042.jpg)
It's a Moleskine Cahier Pocket Ruled Notebook (http://www.moleskineus.com/cahier-pocket-ruled.html). It's black (the textured surface shows up lighter photographed under my work light), has 64 lined pages, with the last 16 removable, hand stitched spine, and a pocket in the rear cover. The size is 3.5 x 5.5 x 1/8 inches (9 x 14 cm x 3mm), and just about a perfect fit in the rear pocket. The price is good too, they are only three for $7.95 retail:

:D 8) :D
-
My (theoretical) solution to the lend out problem...
That's good idea :tu:
My problem is that I enjoy lending, it feeds my hedonism. There's nothing better than when someone gives you back one of your tools and says "Man that's cool, where can I get one of those?"

Very nice :tu: :D

I really fancy a micro but I can't justify one :)
The Mini looks good too but I think the elastic is in a better place for my needs on the micro. If I were a rich man I'd do the honourable thing and buy both :D

I hardly carry it anymore since it’s almost never get used but I kick myself in the head every time when the once in a blue moon occasion occurs when I need it.

I`m not sure what I`m going to do with them yet. There four different sizes from Fatty to the Micro so they will fulfill different needs in the future.
-
At least while not using them they'll probably store nicely nesting inside one another like those Matroushka (sp?) dolls:

Not being able to hold a standard BIC pen means this could never be a primary organizer for me but still might be useful as a secondary carry location for smaller items.
Thanks for pointing that size limitation out!
-
One of these is definitely on my wish list. :tu:
-
I`ve decided the Fatty will be a tool organizer in the back pack. Contents at the moment include a selection of CC widgy bars, four inch Crescent, two LM bit cards and extension, Photon Freedom covert, MT.O tool, Dr Allens Versa Tool, LM Crunch, LM TTi Charge, CC pocket grappling hook. :)

Oops, I forgot to update this, I got the Micro on Tuesday and do like it. The size is much more conducive to pocket carry than it's bigger brother and you can still get a good amount of gear into it.

with note pad, duct tape and platers tucked in the pockets.
(http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m37/gareth_hunt/022.jpg)
My only slight complaint is that the interior material (in grey) is a lighter grade of material than the rest of the organiser. :-\ This isn't the case with my other, original sized one.
-
Oh yes, even the least observant of you will have likely have spotted that I still have an empty slot to fill. :-[ Any thoughts on what I should put in there? Lighter, whistle or spork perhaps?
-
I have a large Unikit coming in (similar to a EDC organizer), that I'll post when I get some stuff in it. :D
Gareth: Sporks are awesome. Enough said. :D

Gee thanks Gareth mate, Now I need a Micro too.... :twak: :drool:
One should always be able to make fire, so Isay a lighter.. :tu:
-
Agreed. One should always be able to respond to a damsel in distress' plea, "Come on baby, light my fire". ;)

It's an excellent point, especially as I normally carry a Zippo in my pocket. I love 'em but you gotta have a backup for a Zippo. ::)
:D
-
love the pics gareth!
-
I agree about the zippo which I why I changed to a gas insert for mine!
Great pics - I'll try and get round to posting my new organisers soon. I'm carrying the Micro and throwing a Fatty in the bag. Half the fun is figuring out which things you really need to carry :ahhh
-
I got the Fatboy S type versipack, the CP-M phone holster, Tac Ties, Keypers, the universal CCW holster. I love the setup especially because the CCW holster works so well. The phone holster won't work with my iPhone, but I'll find a use for it. The whole idea for me, was to get organised, but right now I'm still in the "switching everything around" mode. I know what will definitely be at home in it - my Glock 27, an extra clip for the Glock, a Swamp Rat Swamp Warden knife, embassy pen, a good flashlight (right now I am using a Coleman Max light), a compass, some paracord, a Supertool 300 - and I have plenty of room left to ad items. Knowing me it will always be in a state of change, or growth sounds better, I guess.

Nice set up Gareth :tu:

So I've started building an EDC bag for non-work use (yes it's a man-purse ;)). I'm basing it on the Maxpedition NeatFreak Organizer (http://www.maxpedition.com/store/pc/NEATFREAK-ORGANIZER-13p58.htm), and I decided (like my work bag) to go with a modular system. As I've been playing with the load-out, I've found that two of the pockets inside fit the Micro Pocket Organizer (http://www.maxpedition.com/store/pc/Micro-Pocket-Organizer-7p1685.htm) perfectly, and I decided to build two small EDC kits with these as a start:
The first one for electronics, containing:
- iPod Touch
- Earphones
- Charging cable
(http://i785.photobucket.com/albums/yy135/turnsouth/EDC/P7270046-1.jpg)
The second one for a mini tool kit, containing:
- Leatherman Core
- LM Removable Bit Driver, with bits (going to add a full Bit Kit when I get another one)
- Quark MiNi AA²
- Spare batteries (Next to the Quark, as soon as I find a battery holder that will store two AA's "end to end". I wanted to get the one 4Sevens makes that is just a battery tube from a flashlight with plastic caps on the ends, but they're out of stock, and can't even be back-ordered)
(http://i785.photobucket.com/albums/yy135/turnsouth/EDC/P7270042-1.jpg)
Simple layouts, but since they're built for specific purposes, they'll be easy to grab out of the bag as needed.
-
Nice setup. I recently went modular and it's so much easier when switching bags. I have a work bag and a weekend bag. Much easier moving my mapped pouches around than trying to slide everything into slots in each bag.

Thanks. I've found it a great pleasure. My old work bag, that I had for 10 years, was laid out perfect for individual items (not unlike the NeatFreak), but since going to the modular system, I'll never go back.
-
Here's mine:
(http://i56.tinypic.com/4l3m38.jpg)
I just received Micro, now I have to figure out what to put in :ahhh
-
Here's an experimental design I tried for maximum capacity; it's not, however, my EDC configuration:
(http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6089/6046272295_cc6e6b5bb3_b.jpg) (http://www.flickr.com/photos/63114893@N00/6046272295/)

Holly cow! :o Is that a kitchen sink behind the blue ruler? :D
-
Love it, crammed to the gills with goodness :D
-
Holly cow! :o Is that a kitchen sink behind the blue ruler? :D
Almost. :) Unfortunately, the picture can only show the visible top layer. The blue ruler section, for example, is actually (top to bottom):
- 6" span of clear Scotch tape
- Blue metric/imperial ruler (also acts as a lock shim and two-sided tape backer)
- 6" span of black electrical tape on the reverse side
- DeWalt "wood with nails" saw blade used in the black handle in the section seen to the right, (instead of its retracted, shortened hack saw blade you see).
- Modified Stanley pry bar/nail puller with added, homemade safety caps
- Power Wrench II multi-tool
This is a good example of one of my many packing tricks for maximum capacity: stack all flat items together in layers, like a sandwich or pancakes. Why fill a section with only one item when you can fit a half dozen? :D
[Another trick I use is to cluster all cylindrical items together, with the smaller diameter ones used to fill the gaps...Notice how everything in my organizer's right section, under the main straps, has a circular (or at least oval) cross section? ;)]
-
Here's a video which better shows the front section of of my experimental kit, I showed above. This is the sped up, "coming attractions teaser" version, without audio, of me describing each item and what it's for, including several custom, handmade/modified tools many of you wont recognize (for instance, the one I'm shown holding), however since the video is played in reverse, it seems as if I am assembling my kit rather than breaking it down! ;)

Time to shake another thread awake - A pic I used in another thread as part of everything I carry, but then stumbled backwards into this one this morning.
(http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i61/rsamos/armory/EDC/Max-EDC.jpg)
That's how it looked yesterday, before reading a (n unacknowledged but helpful) comment by nuphoria. This morning, it has some wire ties in one of the 'pouches'. And I've ordered a 'Widgy', so I think that will be added in here when that arrives.
Hey nuphoria - thank you. Good idea.

Just got mine in a few days ago. Sure didn't take long to fill it. I have actually added/taken away a few things since the photo:

I've tried using it as whatnot- a pocket/bag organizer and currently I just keep my house tools in it i.e. not something I'd like dealing every day with. Things aren't that accessible in it according to me- you have to lay it on a falt surface and open the whooole zipper ... or if you don't put it on a flat surface, it's just... all horizontal and you can't really operate well with it... You can't dig through its contents if the zipper(s) aren't fully open..
But that's only my opinion, of course :D May be I'm so helpless at organizing that even Maxpedition can't help me :oops: :D

After having seen, and tinkered with a Maxpedition EDC organiser, I came to the conclusion that it's small for me. I had contacted my friend Dark at Darktactical, and ordered a 95% copy of the original EDC organiser, the 5% change was swapping the mesh to simple cordura, I have a very bad trait regarding meshes. They tend to disintegrate when I'm near. :D The other change was a bit of size optimising, so to say, the organiser was scaled up to fill the side pocket of a BDU trouser.
The whole stuff was made out of 1100D WL cordura, with YKK zippers.

Phoenix Arms .25 Auto (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QGSWC1cXmtw#)
-
yeah what pistol?
Yes it's a RAVEN .25 cal AUTO PISTOL. In the 1980's millions were sold, usually for around $50-75. The pistol was originally made by a company RAVEN ARMS but later produced by PHOENIX ARMS (still being called the RAVEN)
It's basically a "belly gun" or also called a "junk gun" or a "Saturday Night Special" The U.S. Government hated the gun because it was so cheap, it made it readily available to criminals (pimps and hoes) You could pull the gun out of your pockets, hold it to someones stomach, shoot it, and then throw the damn thing in the garbage because it wasn't that expensive (and is now evidence) Ha! The Raven .25 has been out of production since 1993 and now you can get one on the secondary market for anywhere from $75-$150.
But basically it's a real piece of sh*t, nothing you could trust you life on. I bought it for curiosity sake, it's fun to shoot but I would never really carry that thing.
If you want an awesome pistol (that fits even better in the MaxPed) check out the RUGER LCP .380 it's a newer pistol, still in production, selling like crazy and shoots a bullet 10 times bigger than the raven, plus it weights only 13oz since the frame is polymer!

You have a needle but you forgot thread :pok: (unless you count the strings in the paracord, but I prefer regular thread) Awesome setup, I especially liked the positioning of the cable ties, never occurred to me to try shoving something in there. :tu:
Another thing is that Key Tool bit driver. Is it plastic? Will it take a lot of torque without flexing? I recently got a Chapman mini ratchet. It's really small but very useful and would hardly take up any space in your kit. Here's a review of it over on EDCF by xbanker.

Good point about the missing thread. To tell you the truth, I don't keep a needle and thread even in my giant tool box either, and rarely sew, but it certainly could come in handy.
The needle lives in the spine of my Maxped(s) permanently, next to the safety pin, regardless of kit design or purpose. [This is why both of them didn't make it to the exploded photo shown in the video, however I did extract them for the photo I posted here in the thread].
In my survival based kits I usually keep a spool of dental floss as my thread (extremely strong stuff) or, as you mention, can use the paracord inner strands which themselves breakdown into even thinner sub units, BTW.
The Key Tool is plastic but strong. It was chosen because it is the tiniest design I have and I prefer it with the Leatherman bit extender over the County Comm EDC-Key Screwdriver which is analogous, but doesn't have a "stubby" length mode capability using the bit alone, without the extension, like the Key Tool does without the Leatherman part, for really tight spaces.
This kit was just an experiment, I don't use this as an EDC bag, but a ratcheting design like you suggest might be a better bet. If I were to have one I would only consider ones with a conventional bit holder option at the end for tight spaces, where you don't have the room to be swinging a ratchet handle around. I bought a Rocket Ratchet that has that feature.https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&safe=off&q=rocket+ratchet&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_qf.&biw=1117&bih=550&wrapid=tlif134421537394610&um=1&ie=UTF-8&tbm=isch&source=og&sa=N&tab=wi&ei=YBkfUMuFHsry0gGY24DQCQ (https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&safe=off&q=rocket+ratchet&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_qf.&biw=1117&bih=550&wrapid=tlif134421537394610&um=1&ie=UTF-8&tbm=isch&source=og&sa=N&tab=wi&ei=YBkfUMuFHsry0gGY24DQCQ)
[Further rant]: This "no room to be swinging a handle around" problem is also why my kit has a real adjustable wrench, which in a pinch can even attack a nut/bolt at a right angle, instead of the ubiquitous multi-position V-opening mouths of many pocket tools like the Pocket Wrench II , etc, which assume the nut is free and clear on a top surface and not recessed down a hole/valley or at a right angle to a surface (like the side bolts on many car battery posts).

What are in the two straws north of the superglue, and the objest just to the left there of? And do you not have the nozzle/cap for your tiny superglue? I had to scrap some bits and a tiny altoids tin when one of the bits hit cap on the end of the nozzle just right several years ago.
-
I'm thinking maybe you didn't see the video? I can see how you might have missed it since I didn't post it, parnass beat me to it, and the image looks just like the main tool kit photo I had just posted, so you might have glanced over it and thought you were just seeing a duplicate image of my still image, not a link to the YouTube video. Check it out.
I nixed the cap and dispenser to the SINGLE USE super glue because I couldn't fit all 32 bits in the Altoids Smalls tin with them in place, AND because in theory it gets used once and then you throw it away. Trusting the re-capping to truly seal it and have it be "re-usable for another time" is asking for trouble, in my experience [they clog]. That's why I never buy anything but single use ones even when I'm not building a micro sized tool kit and have as much space as I'd possibly want. They are pretty inexpensive, I use maybe one a year, and I'm always safe and confident that I have a real, working one at hand that's factory fresh.
I've had super glue containers bust on me too, which is why I take the precautions I mention in the video.
EDIT TO ADD: OOps, I just realized the video may be out of reach to you due to some other restrictions. Answer to your questions: Elmer's white glue and concentrated liquid soap, glue gun stick I melt with matches/burning popsicle stick

And I don't really use any of them.
But it sure makes me feel good to order one, wait for it, get it out of the mailbox and open it up.

They sell it here for 33€ plus 5€ shipping. Would you suggest it?
At that price, NO. :ahhh that's more than double what I paid for mine. If you shop around ebay you can get them much cheaper. I don't see any as cheap currently but here's one for cca $33 shipped http://www.ebay.com/itm/321093586135
-
Yes, everything is more expensive here, except Victorinox SAKs. But many US vendors don't ship here and if they do there is some risk loosing the item in the post or custom or paying some amount in the customs. I lost once a 300€ eyepiece, because the seller from US didn't send it registered.
Anyway, I'll think of it. If I get something from the states I have Skinths to consider also.

Both my organisers

Jamie & Zed, those look cool! :tu: what are the smaller ones? The Maxped MINIs? I'm not that familiar with their interior design to recognize them :D
-
Yep its a mini N_N_R :tu: very handy for a lighter option :salute:
-
And that's how I've put my stuff in it... there's still room in the left back pocket, but I put my keys either there or outside in the mesh pocket, so I need it to be "looser" there. There are also two spare batteries and some additional papers you can't see in the picture.

I've read comments by people who claim that the right corner of the back pocket has torn, but mine's okay so far. You just shouldn't cram everything you have in it, for this you have the larger organizers. Love it so far :D
-
I try and keep the mini as flat as possible as sometimes carry it in my trousers :tu:

Me too.
I don't think I've posted mine... will sort that out. It's not very "tooly", more like what I would have in a small handbag if that's all I carried.
-
I've developed a love/hate relationship with the MaxPed EDC's... I love all the pockets and things but that makes me want to use every single one in some way, so they end up being too fat and hard to carry! Argh!!! I find myself loading one up for something, initially being happy with it, but then finding it, well, too fat or heavy, and I take all the crap I put in it and put it in something else. Then I find I want more organization capacity, and go back to one of my MP-EDC's, and the cycle continues!

I do know what you mean. There has to be a balance out there somewhere, but I have yet to find it. :shrug:

My first Maxpeditions should be here Saturday. Can't wait to get them. I will definately post a picture once I get it set up. :tu:

I agree it's hard not too over stuff these ,ive pretty much got there with the edc,the mini I'm more fussy too keep it light and flat as possible :tu:
-
After my last post in this thread, I went and got out my regular size MP EDC-O and put my small personal items in it. It's working well so far, I think because I didn't over-stuff it. I think that's the key to making them work well, not trying to make use of every single loop and pocket in one. I've still got unused loops in my regular and so far it's working much better than before. I'll post a pic later if I can; very busy today.
-
I try to stick to one layer of items on each side to avoid the overfilling, because when I fist got them I may have been putting way too much in each side ::)
-

Bought two Mini's. One in Black and the other in Khaki. :tu: I am already wanting a Micro and a Fatty or Beefy. :facepalm: One thing that has already driven me nuts is the key ring that's sewn into the left side. I'm debating cutting it off, but don't wan't to regret it. :think:

Great! Ohhhh, I also disliked this thing. I mean, there were a few occasions on which I used it, but it was rarely. I also didn't want to regret it, so I just tucked it in one of the pockets or fed it through one of the smaller loops outside and hung a key I don't use often to it or sth, so that it doesn't hinder me in the back pocket when I put sth there.
-
I cut that key thingy off as annoying :D
-
I cut it off as well. I just didn't use it and it was getting in the way. :)
-
On my edc I just removed the plastic bit but on the mini I cut it right off,I'll never attach anything too it and adds bulk :D
-
Glad i'm not alone on not liking the key ring. I think i'm cutting mine off today. I honestly never see using it.
-
Don't cut! I recommend snapping it off instead so you can replace it later if you change your mind.
The ball in socket pivot area easily comes undone by the following instructions:
-Rotate the hook around so the ball aligns with the circular cutout in the hook's trench, aiming the opening side of the hook away from the nylon strap/plastic ball.
- Pinch the two together, between thumb and finger, and the ball will pop out of the hook's grip, freeing the hook to be stored elsewhere.
True, you still have a worthless little plastic ball hanging around, but it is much smaller and allows you to replace the hook if you ever need it, or want to sell the kit to another person.
-
Good advice. I might do that and just tuck it in the back pocket or something.
-
Well I just cut off the key fob things and am never looking back. I like it so much more without it. Anyways here are what I have going so far with the Mini's.
E.D.C in a backpack

I have two Micros on the way which I will turn one into stickily a first aid setup. Haven't decided what I will do with the second one.
-
I got my Pocket Organizer in the :mail: today. I'll be working on filling it over the next few days. I will probably put my cigar items in there first and then a Juice just for starters. I'm going through this thread for ideas.
-

Totally agree. I removed the Velcro panel on the front as well, I found the edge scraped my fingers when full and trying to get stuff out the mesh pocket.

I recently picked up a Fatty organizer. Still fiddling with contents, but it's mostly in support of my nd my husband's cell phones (chargers, adapters, etc). Then mis. tools, like lighter, my Spirit X, a little paracord, duct tape, etc.

Is that the PPM Slim? I saw Vanquest had made a smaller one in their line. Kinda like the Maxpedition Micro, but longer, which I'd like.

I have no idea which one this is but it is not remotely the size of the Micro either.

How do the Maxpedition, Vanquest and Condor stack up?

How do the Maxpedition, Vanquest and Condor stack up?
I have and like all three really and find the differences small enough to be almost insignificant overall.
The Maxped. are made of a material sort of like Poly Sandpaper of some kind?
I normally equate this as a cheaper and lower quality choice but in the case of Maxpedition stuff overall this does not seem to be the case at all,if anything it might be too rugged if that makes sense?
The Vanquest is made from what feels to me to be the best quality materials of the three and I prefer the layout of more of them than Maxpeditions too but they sure all do the same job too!
The Condor seem a little unsung to me and I really like each of them that I have,they are maybe not as well made but I have seen no ill effects from this in use,just what I have read.
The Condor are also less pricey at every size which can be nice.
I have and use all 3 brands and have little bad to say about any of them.
It is tough to figure out the correct unit to buy for your stuff for sure,there is no way to really tell until you try what will fit where so you need to buy and try or at least I did.
-
Dont know why it posted twice?
-
I think a lot more important decision is color.
Tan Max kits pass just fine as "mini pieces of luggage" or "camera gear bags". I would have no hesitation to use one in an airport.
Black Max kits are the complete opposite. They scream "tactical/assault kit" and I hesitate to use them when traveling because they scare people, including security guards. They make you look like SWAT.
-
Just read this topic completely. Still waiting for my (really cheap) organizer to arrive and trying to get some ideas on what to put in it.
So, this needs a bump!
What is in your organizer?
-
Not bad...I have a couple of Maxpedition items but the organizers are not it. I do have a 3 day pack and a day hike pouch that rides on the belt. :like: :tu:

Excellent set and we'll used space RP :like:
They sure look handy and well made.
But I just don't like the tools rubbing and scratching on each other all the time :dunno:
I therefore never bought one.

Here’s a couple of mine, one I chuck in a bag as edc the other for out in the bush :cheers:
