Less wallet and keys here's my normal weekend carry:
Here is my EDC. It's knife-light, due to the somewhat restrictive knife laws over here. a leatherman core gets added friday nights (when I'm at scouts) but the rest of the time I don't risk it.
my shoulder rig, where most of the gear is carried:
![]()
1x civilian labs shoulder holster bag, tech recon model. set up as a shoulder holster with the strap with the orange clip running across my back, reducing swinging.
1x wallet (looks black in the photo, it's actualy dark blue
1x keyring, with keys, cheap led torch (running off 1 AAA battery) and a bottle opener from belgium (reading FBI, Famous Beer Inspector on one side, and on the other "belgian beer, probably the best beer in the world on the other)
1x maglite solitare, used to carry a spare AAA battery
1x re-useable butane lighter for general use (I'm a non-smoker, but it comes in handy ocasionaly.)
1x nokia 6500 slide mobile phone
1x I-pod nano, 4th gen (christmass present again!) with silicone cover, and cheap headphones (which I was using on my old shuffle untill I got this)
4x disposeable biros
I also have a spiral bound notebook in there, but I forgot to photo it :brickwall:
The wallet contains:

Assorted cash
1x local sports and social club membership card, neccecary because I help out backstage at a local ameture dramatics group
1x building society card
1x wh smiths gift card (stationers, also sell books, computer acessories and other useful stuff)
1x waterstones gift card (big bookshop chain in the uk)
1x library card + library computer access card
3x condoms (1 is none, 2 is one ect...)
1x swisscard quatro
Since I took these pictures I've moved my ID wallet from my pocket to inside the wallet. one side goes into the clear ID section of the wallet, with the other side flaped over, so I can show both sides by opening out the ID wallet
the contents of the ID wallet:
![]()
1x citizencard (proof of age)
1x scout law and promise (useful as some outdoor shops give a 10% discount to scouts, plus its a set of rules I try to live by)
1x lucky forfeit. (long story, but that forfeit made my week, so now I consider it lucky)
For the past few months I've been stuck on the Spyderco Ed Schempp Khukuri. The Surefire L1 pretty much goes everywhere with me, as does the Atwood prytool and Fenix L0D.
