A few pictures of my daily carry

[Snow]

Well I missed Stomper's thread a few days ago and finally got around to taking a few pictures of things, so I figured I'd make my own. Here is my daily carry kit.

Any criticism or suggestions are very welcome. Here are a few things I think I will change:

• Add a firesteel
• A couple of spare cells for the L1
• Add a small water bag

Any other ideas? This is primarily an urban kit, so I keep it pretty light and oriented towards that setting. I also have a map of KC with me most of the time.

Nice kit!

The only thing I can think of off the top of my head is a bandanna. They can still be useful in an urban setting, such covering your mouth to help smoke inhalation, or other "stuff" in the air (if there is a really bad situation).

Dang, I knew I liked you, Brandon:thumbup: My setup's so similar it's eerie-same bag, same FAK, different model leatherman and light, though I find a small notebook (moleskin or similar) and pen handy, too.

You guys are right. Oddly enough, I have a bandanna, a moleskine, and a Dr Grip that I usually carry as well. I have been mixing things around lately and left them out. The moleskine and pen are a couple of the things I actually use every day. I can't get anything done without a to-do list.

Don't let Walt lie Brian... his Osprey bag is pink.

I would worry about talking shit - but his only self defense move is pulling hair...

I love that Osprey bag. Great organization. I tried a Maxpedition shoulder bag not too long ago but prefer the Osprey to look less 'tactical.'

Guys, feel free to post pics of your own setups. Especially pink bags!

Argh! Those patches again! Were do you people get them?

Cool!
That Petzl I also have one and love it.
You carry such a nice kit.

What are those pen-like objects clipped on?

I agree. I have that same Petzl and it is a great little light.

And I agree also, its a nice kit you have put together.

Yeah the e+lite is very underrated in my opinion. It's tiny and almost weightless, so it's easy to carry everywhere.

The two pen-like objects on either side of the front are small pocket sharpeners that my dad gave me. I have been practicing my freehand sharpening recently and I'm finally getting okay at putting a decent edge on with them.

The object in the middle is a small hand sanitizer spray.

 

[fujita yuji]

You maybe right we don't see e+lite very often here.
As a climber and caver I'm a big fan of Petzl

Sounds like you're well prepared learning freehand sharpening
and carrying pocket sharpeners. :thumbup:

Nice kit, and I love that bag. I've got my "EDC Kit" stowed in an old Jansport book bag. It's nice enough, but actually a bit big for what I have in it. That Osprey shoulder bag might be just the ticket. :thumbup:

 

[coaldigger]

Looks like a nice set-up 'Ol Bud :thumbup: I'de add a Sharpie pen...they will write on almost anything ! Maybe some OTC pain meds & some eye drops/wash & some latex gloves.

Instead of a water bag I would take a small plastic bottle, easier to handle. Where is the phone & GPS.

Looks nice & practical, also like the non tactical look.

I say switch out the starburst for mentos - I hate starburst. They just get all stuck in your teeth

Yeah it's the perfect size for a daily carry kit. Not too expensive, either.

Good call. I have a Sharpie at home, time to toss it in the bag.

Phone is in my pocket and I don't own a GPS.

No way man, Starburst are the best! Great food to bring your blood sugar up quickly, and they don't melt in the heat.:thumbup:

I like the kit, very cool. I am starting to see more of the Aqurmaria water filters recently.. I find it intriguing. Also, I see you like starburst as well, good stuff.
