What's on your keychain?
Reply #1620 on: August 25, 2020, 02:53:17 PM
:like:

I enjoy setting up keychains and carabiners and such.  On one hand its relaxing to work thru options and set it up.  Its interesting what I come up with while I work out what I'm trying to achieve.  On the other hand once I get it set up I tend to not be completely happy with the set up  :facepalm:

I don't mind a heavier set up for outdoors as I like to feel the weight to remind be its there.  I like what you've done and what you have on yours  :tu:
Thanks Aloha, I changed my mind multiple times, left things off, put them back on and spent half the afternoon having a great time doing it. Definitely cathartic and good to see it coming together.

The UFO is a lot neater than the exotac ring I had before, but that’s easier to use so it’s always a play off.
Agree it’s good to have a bit of extra weight outdoors but a bit of a pain in the butt when sitting down :faceplant:

They’re always a bit of a work in progress aren’t they, the keychain tools can often be replaced with a small SAK but want a compass and whistle when in the bush as well as some redundancy like with the Bomber B2 knife and peanut lighter. Not sure I really need the true utility pen and the MecArmy flashlight is a bit heavy but also pretty durable, trust it more than the plastic nitecores I use on everything else.

Ah the fun of EDC :) :cheers:

After trying quite a few different carabiners and one piece tools think I’ve now settled on my perfect set up…yeah I know you’ve heard that before :whistle:

Received the Blank Forces Ti carabiner today, has both carabiner and pocket clip which is really useful, teamed with TEC Accessories Python-QR, Isotope Tandem Fob & Python clips, SAK Manager, Nitecore Tiki and a peanut lighter…and house key

I don't really do carabiners and pocket clips much but that does look stunning.  :drool:

I’ve been using carabiners on my keys since the 80’s, pocket clips much more recently but starting to get converted. This appealed as you get the best of both plus look at that Ti haha :pok:

Nice set up.  I also used carabiner for a while but switched to belt clips.  I am running one now that I am liking but time will tell as I always tend to find fault in the long haul.  I have been attaching cords/chains or some kind of dummy cord to my things as well.  I went to a home improvement store and nearly left my wallet on the counter, then again at the grocery store.  I was so absent mined I knew it was time to attach it to me  :facepalm:

I post up a picture later on what I am using.

Was I the only one reading this as "Thanks girlfriend"?!

 :facepalm:

But yeah, waiting on some report on how the carabiner/clip options work.

Was thinking of doing the 30 day Squirt challenge having recently done the Juice, sounds like it could be a way to do both at the same time
