I try to keep it simple. Billfold, Buck 501, car key, house key, nail clippers, bottle opener and a pointy thing. I don't usually carry my cell unless I'm wearing a jacket.
 
Ayzianboy - I carry portable chopsticks because a) they are really cool, b) they are extremely portable, and c) I occasionally find myself in need of an eating utensil. I used to carry a titanium spork, but I think that the chopsticks are just a lot more fun to use.

All of the above except the radio and medical kit fit into an Eagle Creek zip bag for ease of transport:

And finally, if my travels take me off the beaten path, I add as a minimum:

Awesome and very complete EDC Richard, you have given me some great ideas on re-packing up my old survival kits. Thanks!..

Best,

Anthony
 
Thanks, Anthony! It's always a work-in-progress, but I am very happy with its current state. The SOG gets swapped out for a stainless Spyderco if I need to be 'dressy', or gets augmented with a fixed Tanto-style blade if I am allowed to carry it -- esp. in the woods.

General EDC:

20zacu0.jpg


-Leather wallet with sharpening supplies inside
-Combo Edge Manix
-Victorinox Classic attatched to lanyard with Princeton Tec Pulsar
-Keys
-Bic standard

20zadk4.jpg


This is my EDC rotation outside the Manix. From left to right:

-Wenger Handyman (Comes with me whenever I know I'm going into the woods. This is my most carried full-sized SAK)
-Victorinox Nylon Solo (Pretty beefy for a SAK, if I'm travelling light my only knife is this or a Bantam)
-Alox Bantam 1
-Opinel No 8
-Spyderco Native

I keep my Spydercos clipless. More ergonomic and I prefer just dropping them in my pockets. The larger saks and the Spydies ride vertical next to the wallet. The Vic classic goes in the 5th pocket with the light hanging out. The rest wherever. As far as my knife carry goes, I usually have a Classic on me at all times. Sometimes that's all I have if I'm not doing much, but usually I pack the Manix or a larger SAK along. If I'm doing some heavy woodworking when I go outdoors I bring along a Mora 760mg or an Ontario SP Bowie.
 
Currently I'm carrying my grandfathers Polish Pruner given to me by my cousin last month while visiting family in Hungary, my grandfathers been dead now for 22 years and the last time I saw him was 30 years ago when I was 15.

Emotionaly this knife has some very strong memories attached.

I remember him cutting pieces of kielbasa and peppers and onion to put on my ryebread for lunch back then.

T. ERDELYI,

This is so very cool!.:cool: ..What a neat vintage pruning knife!. I love these provenance stories that go with a knife that belonged to ones beloved kinfolk. It gives one a link to his past which is extremely important in that it brings on so many cherished memories of once was.:)

Thanks for sharing this with us.

Many Blessings,

Anthony

How do ya like the Fenix, I took one on vacation overseas and other than the New ARC that was clipped to my neckchain continuously, the Fenix was the light that was usually in my hand when I went walking after dark.

I know the bright light and AA battery blew everyone away.
 
I just recently bought a Fenix L2P w/L1P spare body option for $45. I think it is an excellent light at an excellent price. Most of the time I use the L1P body for everyday carry, but I like the option of extending to two cells.

Have mine delivered last Saturday. Great light and great bargain too!
Quite the opposite im my case - I wear it as L2p most times - it just like a freakin lightsaber!
And the holster proved to be very handy.

Im getting really bad at reading in Hungarian.
 
Knucks, while in Hungary we went to Budapest and the letter IIRC was to get permission or notify them of ou r desire to tour the old Parliment building while we were in the city.

I kept it as a memento along with the Hungarian(Russian issue) bayonet, my cousin got for me from an old army buddy of his back home.
