Does anyone else have an intricate EDC system?

I have a draw of knives that I choose from at the moment and many times I have one of two knives that have been carried recently lying around maybe on my desk and that may be a knife that I have been carrying a lot lately.
 
Don't know if you would term it intricate, but it is consistent. When I leave my house these are the edc items that go with me. In my shirt pocket I carry a G2 Limited pen, and a Preon 1 flashlight. On my belt I have a Fenix PD22 in it's included sheath, a single CR123A flashlight. I wear a fannypack daily as it makes it easier on me to be able to carry all the things I need to carry daily. It contains my Spyderco Szabo in the lower pouch, along with my wallet. The upper pouch carries the meds I need daily, along with a Leatherman Juice S2. In my right front pocket I carry a large folder, a heavily built folder if you will, that gets switched out as often as I like. Since December it was the Fox/Citadel Deimos (micarta scales), sometime in mid January it was my Boker Arctos XL, and for the past two weeks it has been my Kizer Gingrich GTi.

Everyday this is how I leave the house, oh, I also have my Phone in a flap case clipped on my belt. But as sure as I put on clothes, everything listed above is in there.:thumbup::)
 
I read where people sell their knives because "they don't get pocket time". I want mine to be carried, at least the ones in my EDC rotation. Periodically I lay them all out on the table, arrange them in a somewhat random order but where there is some variety from one knife to the next, and that is the order in which I carry them. I finally found a plastic tackle box that holds all of the EDC knives as well as a few others, and I put them in the slots in their carry order. Each Monday morning I pick the next one out of the box, put it in my pocket, and carry it for the week. Saturdays and Sundays I usually carry a different knife, not one in the EDC rotation. With my system I don't have to ponder which knife to carry on any given weekday, and all of the knives in my EDC rotation get carried equally. I use this same system for my watches and that is where I came up with the idea. I have more knives than I have watches, I could change my knife rotation system to carry each knife 2 or 3 days instead of 5 days so I could make it all the way through the rotation faster.

Nice set of carry knives you got there bd.:thumbup::)
 
this is normally on me.

Light ,Surefire E1B backup bright enough to blind
and use as a defensive tool.
Some of you guy really need to evaluate your choice of lights.
Mainly can you trust your life on it.

Extra Batteries for the light usally 2 - 123A

Leatherman. GP do it all.

Pepper spray because Guns are Icky here in Commiefornia.

A pen. Because it is the mightiest tool and it can act as back up DF tool.
Countycomm Titainum Embassy

Thumb drive..

As for knives.
one of these
I really like the Yojimbo2 for it PD role
but the thin tip has limitations in everyday use
that Im not ready to find out how far I can push it.

Unlike the Griptilian and tenacious.
