I think anything should count if it is what you carry everyday.rifon2 said:Does the stuff in my EDC shoulder bag count?

I knew people with guns would top the list. I wish it was possible to get a CCW here in Southern California. Damn impossible!

Keychain small:
ignition key, door key, photon light $? paid for the key copies, and light was gotten in a trade
SpecOps Wallet Jr: paid about 20 bucks for this
Benchmade RSK Mk1 Ritter Grip: paid about 125 for this from Aeromedix
Queen small stockman cocobolo D2: paid about 50 for this
Freestyle Shark Fieldmaster chrono watch: $20, retails for 75
The RSK is too big for EDC for me, I don't wear a suit, but I usually wear nice khakis or dress pants, and a polo or button down shirt. Try to keep the gear light. Probably go with a mini RSK, or my Native III when it comes back from Spyderco.
In my truck I have a Leatherman Wave new 50 on Amazon with a free LM Micra, a Kabar 1250 short got in a trade, and a Cold Steel Bushman, about 20 at a gun show three years ago. Always keep a good walking stick in my truck too, made it myself. Except for a lithium powered Wally world flashlight @ 15, not really much gear in there.

I carry one of my guns every day, but usually it is in my lunchbox, or in a Maxpedition M-4 waistpack that I have outfitted with a shoulder strap. (Carry it like you would the Fatboy)
I suppose this is part of my EDC gear, but I don't have it on my person at all times like I do with the other stuff.
It was very suprising to learn exactly how many people have guns in their lunchboxes at my new job. I pity the terrorist, or disgruntled former employee who tries to shoot the place up!

I drive 99% of the places I go so some of this is removable car electronics but its in my pocket most of the time
LM Micra - £30
SAK Soldier - £20
2x Photon - £15
Peak LED SS McKinley - £55
Sony K700i - £150 (??)
Origin speed trap detector - £350
Blaupunkt Radio front - £200
Disposable lighter, pencil, nylon cord - £2
TAG Kirium - £800
Police Ti spectacles w/ ultra thin lenses - £300
£1922 or about $3200
If I didnt live in such a gay place there would be another £200 of folder in there too...
Its surprising how much it all adds up to, if I total up everything I would be wearing on a typical business day it would include another £120 of shoes £150 suit, £300 coat, £100 briefcase, £100 business cell phone means I'm wearing/ hauling about $4500 of junk!

McLuxIII-PD (custom 1xCR123 LED flashlight from candlepowerforums.com) ~$270
$50 Black Elephant Flap Holester from artofthehide.com
Arc-AAA-P $40
Leatherman Charge XTi $85
Leatherman Squirt S4 $25
Total: $470
Will add about $50 extra once I find a way to comfortaby EDC the Leatherman's bit driver and other accessories, plus whatever it costs for a combo sheath to carry that stuff. Will also add in my $10 Tool Pen if it fits there as well. Though that combination is probably going to be more for work only given its added bulk, it still sorta counts.
The McLuxIII-PD's value goes up by $150-$200 when it gets replaced by its up-and-coming titanium brother.
