Show Us Your EDC gear!!!

[BladeFreak]

I went a little purchase happy and got several.  I was seeing them and made one of my own in 2016.  Then last year or so I bought one by Diodrio and loved it.  I like having a set "kit" so when I leave I can pop one in my pocket and go.  Unfortunately I don't have a set go to kit which means I want to carry several 

  I'm real familiar with purchase happy. I got three different ones all in the same order, one of which is a Diodoro. I tend to switch things up occassionally.

Along with an assortment of  pocket knives, I carry this tool keyring, almost always, these days.
Victorinox MiniChamp (Alox),
Gerber Shard,  StreamLight Nano and an EXTRA house key.

[nakken]

Thanks colt Nice EDCs fellas

[powernoodle]

I have a mini Sharpie in my pocket too, but it was too bashful to get in the picture.

Nice gear from everyone. 

I carry my Maxpedition Micro most off days.

In the front mesh pocket I carry hand sanitizer.
Left to right
eyeglass repair kit.  kinda surprised how much I've used this.  I wear eye glasses and my partner wears sun glasses as do most here in SoCal. 
 
Fenix LD02.  All time favorite light. 
Rolaids.  I may stop carrying as I don't use often enough to justify carrying. 
mini bic and Drs Brushpicks.  The brush picks are really good.  I never use my SAKs tooth pick for anything but a poking tool.
Alka-seltzer.  Sometimes I need it or someone does. 
Mini sharpie.  Why not carry a great writing tool?
metal straw.  Here in Cali you are not automatically given straws.  You have to ask.  Its also a great bellow if I do need fire. 
550 cord.  IIRC its 12ft?

In the label/tag
2 zip ties.
2 safety pins.  Ultimate MacGyver tool. 
Uncle Bills tweezer.  Sorry Vic but these are tops in my book.  I used shrink wrap for a cover. 

I keep a spare AAA cell in the pocket on the right side pocket.
cough drops. 
boo boo kit plus moleskin in the pocket on the left side.  Just a few things really.  I used to go all out but I am not trying to treat trauma just cover a cut mostly.  I do have sting ointment in there.   

The grab handle is also wrapped with 550 cord.  I dont know how much I used. 

In each back pocket of my pants I carry bandanas or 1 bandana and 1 handkerchief.  I like 2 because one can be my dirty towel for hands or worse.  I have no problem tossing away if too soiled.
 
POM pepper spray.  I carried Saber brand and still do but its a larger canister best used for a pack.  My verbal jiujitsu is equivalent to 2nd degree black belt but its a nice option if my verbal kimora is not as effective as I hoped.           

I use the Victorinox belt clip to secure my wallet with para cord to myself.  My version of a biker carry.  On that set up I carry my  RovyvonA5, Midnight Manager ( gift from folderbeholder ) and pill fob.  They all stow away into my pocket so nothing jingles. 

A watch on my wrist and hat of the day completes my ensemble.

Good stuff, your Lordship.  You can fit of lot of stuff in a small Maxpedition pouch if you are careful about the size vs. utility matrix.

[Aloha]

Thank you.

You can fit a LOT in but yes its a balance.  Since I don't carry a backpack or larger bag I like having a few extra items.  I'll take some time to show a bag I am playing with.  I also am playing with a Maxpedition Beefy and the one smaller than that.  I've tried to figure a way to utilize a strap to carry it.  The Micro I attach to my belt or can toss in a cargo pocket of my 5.11 pants. 

[powernoodle]

My approach is to carry a backpack to church, with lots of medical and other goodies.  I do volunteer security there.  And I keep plenty of supplies in my vehicle.  Other than that,  I don't really carry "what if" stuff on my person other than the firearm and pepper spray.  Most of the time I am either at home, or at church, and when out and about I am rarely very far from my vehicle where I can retrieve a real FAK, etc.

Ruger LCP Max, Kershaw Misdirect, Fisher Space Pen, 2x dead AAA batteries, Sharpie chisel tip, Streamlight ProTac 2AAA light, Chap Stick, SMKW Candy Cane Tinker, Screwpop utility knife with carbide blade, Victorinox nail clippers, Victorinox Manager and POM pepper spray.  Except for the Kershaw, all of this was in my front 2 pockets and I don't even notice it.  One can become habituated to almost anything.

Excellent carry 
The dead AAA’s are a nice touch 

[powernoodle]

The dead AAA’s are a nice touch 

Yeah they were on the way to the garbage can but hadn't made it there yet.  And yes I know they are rechargeable.     But these would no longer hold a charge.

Happy new year with my most complete EDC which is carried when I'm wearing a suit or sport jacket or when I'm using my Nutsac Mag Satch. Boston is a common destination so blade lengths are 2.5" or less.

Osgood Marley  card case 20
SAK Cadet 37
Tec Accessories P7 clip 12
Three Rivers Nomad 225
Coach money clip 50
Generic pill fob 3
Olight i1r2eos 18
SAK Classic SD 20
Nite Ize locking mini S-Biners 12
Lucky Line Twisty keyring 2
Knipex Cobra xs 27
Casio Oceanus 500
Streamlight 1L-1AA 35
Urban Survival Gear Ti Scribe Bolt 70
Levenger pocket briefcase 30
Moon landing silver dollar


The 2 flashlights compliment each other as they have different lumens and where the Olight is rechargeable the Streamlight takes commonly available batteries including AAA.

The Cadet and Cobra take the place of a one piece plier based multitool with less weight and the Classic SD provides the tweezers and scissors the Cadet lacks.

The Bolt pen takes both Pilot G2 gel and Parker style refills.

The leather items are of high quality.

Questions, suggestions and comments welcome.

Happy EDC New Year!

Nice gear.  I only wonder why not carry the coin in some type of protective sheath/case/slip?

Thanks, I'll do that!

[nate j]

Here was today’s loadout.  I’m not a big fan of sheaths or bags, so it’s a good thing I normally wear cargo pants…

Black Diamond Miniwire carabiner

Fox 40 whistle

Sliver grippers tweezers

Olight i3EOS

Vic Alox Classic

Tick Key

Fisher Bullet

Couple of Wet Ones Singles

Case Marilla - today’s selection, but could be replaced by any OHO knife that I think will serve best for the day or just strikes my fancy

Fox Creek Leather credit card wallet with cash, cards, Vic Alox Bantam, PWII

Buck 301 - today’s selection, but could be replaced by any trad or 91/93 mm Vic that I think will serve best for the day or just strikes my fancy

Nitecore MH10S

Couple of Bics - they are good for many lights each, but if you carry just one, it is guaranteed to run out of fuel at the least opportune time

Chapstick

Bandanna

Not shown:  house and vehicle keys (also carried on carabiner)

Not shown:  cell phone, because I used it to take the picture

Please be advised that Chicago has a 2.5” blade length limit.

Please be advised that Chicago has a 2.5” blade length limit.

Then I will have a tactical advantage:)

You can always check how much gas is left in a bic by shining a flashlight right on to the body of the lighter.

Thanks enki.  I actually was aware of that, but it would require me to be more proactive than I typically am.  Also, I often end up handing a Bic to someone who needs a light, and either forgetting to get it back or just telling them to keep it.

They are small enough that carrying two or three isn’t much more weight or bulk than carrying just one, and this approach seems to work for me.
