EDCMay2012.jpg


Wallet
phone
keys with paracord lanyard
Streamlight Microstream
Eskabar in AZWelke sheath with lighter, screwdriver, and sak tweezers
Walther P99 in Crossbreed Supertuck or Galco belt holster
 
My usual EDC?
-BK2 (in an Azwelke Kydex foldover sheath, with a few feet of 550 wrapped around it, secured to my person with a Tek-Lok, riding on my left hip for cross draw).
-Lamy Safari filled with Noodler's polar black bulletproof ink.
-Loads of paracord lanyards on a steel carabiner for various purposes, some just carried for straight cord (prolly 20 ft. All together).
-Metal waterproof pill canister on one of the paracord lanyards filled with "Foosh" caffiene energy mints for clean breath (and tons of energy for survival purposes).
-Leather wallet (doubles as improvised strop).
-Blackberry Curve...
-Noisehush earbuds (very good for the money, as an audiophile, not great, but for less than $20, they sound as if they cost at least $40. Great bass for the size while staying very crisp)
-Fossil sunglasses
-50 Lb cord as necklace with an awesome fish skeleton pendant given to me by a friend long ago,
-Contact lenses (blind as a bat without, and like the peripheral vision I get, unlike glasses)
-Clothes and shoes (optional).
-CRKT M16-10KZ (sometimes)
-Armor Zippo (in a cool leather sheath with Zippo logo in silver embossed on it)
I'll post pics when I find a card reader.

Today I am traveling super light. Just a Case Trapper in yellow/CV, keys(with P38), cell phone, watch, bandana, bic lighter, chapstick, wallet (with DMT 600grit card inside), dogtags. I am trying to reduce the number of knives I carry (still got the BK-11, a Gerber ASEK, and Buck 110 in the truck tho).
 
I don't carry a bag on me. I have a camelback in my car with some first-aid stuff and basic day-hike equipment. My bag I carry for work has a laptop, small portfolio thing with notebook and current work docs, pens, camera, and usually a knife or 3 or 5.

On me:
BK14, Leek, CZ 75B .40S&W compact, wallet, basic Casio watch, and phone.

I don't usually carry both of the folders, but it's likely to be one or the other. The copper handled one will get kicked out when my M390 Gunny arrives, most likely.

phone
wallet
Fenix TK15
Victorinox Swisstool Spirit X
Seiko Orange Monster
keys
CRK Large Sebenza 21 or Strider SMF
 
I started out this morning with a large Kabar TDI and a Kershaw Storm II. Plus the usual car keys, cell phone, wallet, bic lighter etc. I just got the TDI a couple of days ago and have been really surprised at how comfortable and natural it feels.
I got a package in the mail this afternoon so I got to switch out my knives. I reloaded with a Spyderco Centofante 3 (carried iwb) -new to me- and a KFU mini-nesmuk on my belt. Both are awesome. The Spyderco is smaller than I thought it would be - very thin, light. The KFU is probably my favorite fixed blade for edc when I'm in town.
Getting late gotta crash.
