Probably not much considering I don't know what I could be missing...just wondering if there's a cool gizmo or gadget that I might want to add. As it sets right now it consists of a spyderco cat or Delica 4, stream light key mate, stream light pro tac AAA, and a leatherman micra.

Forget the lighter, unless you regularly have the need to burn things. :)

Add:

- Smart phone.
- Sharpie mini.

Consider losing the Micra and adding a Victorinox Manager, which give you a mini pen.
 
Never forget the lighter, even if you don't have a regular need to burn things. I suggest the stainless steel peanut lighter from County Comm's website, and I would look at maybe one of their widgy bars so as to have something to pry with if the need arose (so you wouldn't end up using your knife for that and breaking the tip). Adding a pen wouldn't hurt, or a sharpie mini like powernoodle suggested if that is more appropriate to your situation.

The lighter won't take up much space or add too much more weight, and the widgy bar has surprised me with the number of uses it has. For a pen, I use a Zebra F-301 Compact which you can find pretty cheap most places and fits inside the wallet nicely.
 
This was posted from my iPhone, my shield was on me at the time of posting, LCR was in the glovebox. Should have cleared that up. My bad.

I could see the benefit of adding a lighter...will check on the victorinox as well.
 
I'm not big on Altoids tin survival kits but an Altoids tin first aid kit is something I'm considering. If you don't have a kit in the car and other places you frequent you may consider that.
 
- gun

-pen ( i perfer hinderer's and surefires )

- and i cant go without chapstick but that's just me

- if you like music a pair of ear buds is always handy to keep in the back pocket opposite your wallet.
 
Pen, I keep a trekker attached to my wallet, and a bullet pen clipped to my pocket. A zippo. A hand gun. A stainless steel water bottle. I'll second chapstick, it has other uses besides lip protection. A bigger multitool, I like my supertool 300.
 
Pen and Lighter.

My EDC set up consists of:
Two knives(Usually two of these: Large Sebenza, SNG, Chokwe, Albatros, Small JYD)
Flashlight(4Sevens Mini AA)
Pen(Hinderer Investigator)
Lighter(Zippo or a Bic)
 
I find a small amount of duct tape around an old card in the wallet and a bandana have saved my butt more times than anything else in my EDC. A pen and pad couldn't hurt either.
 
As for right now I think I'm going to add the county comm peanut lighter, the small pry bar, possibly replace the micra with a victorinox of some flavor. A small pen would come in handy. I find myself w/o one a lot.

Only other thing I see that I'd really like to ad is a Strider PT..just can't find one.

I've come along way since 6 months ago...this is how my edc looked then...sad isn't it?

I carry my wallet, a large knife (Endura, Griptilian, etc), a small knife (Delica, Flash I, etc), a cheap Bic pen, a pencil, a Streamlight ProTac 2AAA, my phone, a Leatherman Sidekick or Wingman. They have pocket clips. On my key ring I have my car keys and house keys on separate rings. On the house key ring I also have a Fenix Mini 123 and a newly-acquired Vic Classic. Both key rings are attached to a Leatherman carabiner
