The latest incarnation of my edc kit

[blazink]

I have been experimenting with my edc kit.
So far this is my favorite setup. It fits in a pocket very well and seems very tough. It contains a Vic. Fieldmaster, Inova microlight and a peanut lighter held together by a size #1 snap swivel and some split rings. They look a little small but have 150lb test strength.
What do you think?

I like it! I carry a similar kit...the swivel is a good idea...

 

[tknife]

Looks good. That will serve you well in the city, as well as the woods :thumbup:

 

[mtnfolk mike]

very cool...:thumbup: that is a great little EDC set up...

 

[orrey45]

Wow, thats really cool. I might copy that if you don't mind.

blazink,

Nice EDC. How do you like the peanut lighter? I have a few and they seem very temperamental with the slightest breeze.

o'-45, by all means, copy away. And post any improvements you make. You're an aggie aren't you? I am an aggie civil engineer, class of '07.

val', the peanut lighter is definately not good in the wind, it needs a baffle. It seems like there is room inside to add a small one. Besides that I have been really happy with it. I have had mine for several months and only filled it once.....just tested it and it lit on the first flick .

I'm bumping this back up to the top because I finally got around to copying this neat idea. Here is my version of it, not sure if this is the final version though.

Its a SAK economy camper model. Attached to it: trot line cord, photon light, pill fob with fire making stuff and a permanent marker.

Neat lil' set-up you have going on....

 

[nemoaz]

Why the permanent marker?

 

[orrey45]

Why the permanent marker?

No real reason. I always have a pen or pencil in my pocket and when I saw these little markers though they were cool. I'm not sure about the finality of this setup and plan to change it. I for sure plan to keep the knife, light and cord but I am unsure about the other two.

I like the thought of being able to write on stuff if needed and the capsule will prolly be dropped in favor of a lighter.

What about adding a whistle to such kits? I wear one on my neck chain along with my Photon.

 

[hatchetjack]

I like the stainless swivels. Keeps things from binding up.

 

[StuToffee]

I carry similar, too.
(Gonna pinch the swivel idea, though!)
I have a Vic Handyman with fauxton, firesteel & spycapsule of vaseline/cotton on the split ring.
