What's your EDC setup, and does it vary?

Different most of the time, but I always have a LM Balst or Wave or Surge on my belt. Watch pocket would be a Gerber Clutch or Buck tool or Vic Soldier (possible an Exec)
Front pocket or cargo pocket a Vic Huntsman or Champion. A Vic Woodsman made by Scibeer in my pocket or my EDC bag. And a Kershaw Mini Cyclone or Chive or Benchmade in my back pocket or EDC bag. But you get the idea. Iam at the point now where it depends on the day, I have so many different ones to choose from. :)
 
Very situational, depending on where I'm going and what I expect to do. However, my EDC default mode has evolved to: wallet and bills, LF pocket; keys, RF pocket; Rambler clipped to fauxton in watch pocket (I almost always wear jeans); handkerchief or bandana in RR pocket; Charge TTi in belt pouch w/ Fisher Space Pen, Fenix EO1 and accessories also tucked in, R hip; lens cloth and note paper, LR pocket; cell phone in belt case, LF hip. Sometimes I vary the arrangement, but always come back to it.
 
I wear Carhartts everyday. They have 6 pockets.
Left front pocket I carry a slip joint, generally my Vic Farmer and smokes
Right front pocket I carry my P3AT or S&W M60, or I'll carry a waved folder when I can't carry a firearm (in a bar, post office etc)
Left tool pocket I carry my SureFire G6
Right tool pocket I carry my cell phone
Back Left pocket is for trash, receipts, notes etc
Back Right pocket I carry my wallet and a large folder (one of the new cold steel triad locks usually, or an endura or a kershaw)
I carry my lighter in my coin pocket

No guns here. I live in Illinois, and Nanny Gubmint tells me I might hurt myself if I carry a big, scary gun! So my big, scary guns stay at home.

I carry an XM-18, either in a belt pouch or clipped to my pocket. Other pocket has a Buck slippie. Keychain has a Rambler attached, soon to be replaced by a Manager (because I want the pen). Coin pocket holds a Zippo with a four-leaf clover, and there's usually a 4Sevens Preon in a pocket. The Preon will be replaced shortly by a Quark Mini attached to my keychain.
 
No doesn't change much at all. I've tried some different things but I'm pretty happy with my Izula. Although I'm thinking of adding a SAK classic for non-knife friendly company.
 
lately I've been packing multi knives on an every day basis around campus to ward off the sheeple and supplement my main EDC blade. They have been the Spartan, the US issue Camillus and the Camillus Eagle camp knife.
 
I always have a midnite manager on my keyring and a cadet in my front right pocket with a small seb in my left pocket. rarely change the SAK's but the seb swapps pocket time with several others
 
Generally just a Vic Tinker if I'm wearing a suit.

Casual clothes mean either Vic OHT, or Leatherman Juice XE6.
Also with casual attire i add another knife, most commonly my Izula.
Right front pocket carry for both most of the time.

Also i have a maxpedition Proteus pack which i take almost everywhere, it has a Mora 511 in it.
 
Rf twenty year old boyscout knife with keys and lanyard Rb leatherman kick w/pocket clip Lf cell phone Lf ipod(some times i carry it) Lb wallet
 
Weekdays i carry a SAK Alox Soldier in my LF and a SAK Alox Bantam II in my watch pocket.

Weekends it's a SAK Alox Farmer in my LF and either a RR Canoe or RR Medium Stockman in my watch pocket.
 
For the past few days it has been:

Black Classic in RFP
Wallet RBP containing(except cards): tin opener, Swiss card screwdriver(soon to be a real Sears thanks to Coyote711:thumbup:) and a savety pin
Key ring with house keys, Car key and Fenix E1 plus a bottle opener
RBP Tobacco poach with disposable lighter.

That's about it :D
 
Powernoodle, what kind of 9mm do you pocket carry?

My first buy in the tiny 9mm category was a PF9 and it was a major fail.
 
as i was sitting in line to pick my daughter up from school, i saw on the floorboard, a " NEW '09 F-150 built ford tough trucks" laynyard, that used to hang on my rearview mirror. i thought to my self, hey, another way to carry another knife. so, at least for today, G-19, either IWB or in left front pocket, cold steel voyager tanto clipped RFP, skoal LRP, wallet RRP and One Hand Trekker on laynyard. i usually make at least one change per week, like on slim down days, its keltec .380 and benchmade minigrip.

funny thing about the lanyard, my truck is an '05.
 
Vic Spirit and Vic Champion Plus; both in belt pouches

Vic Classic SD--keychain

Vic Climber (dedicated food knife) in pocket or backpack

Currently an Endura 4 in belt pouch.

It does not change too often. However, the Climber will be replaced by a Vic Spartan and the E4 will be changed for whatever I decide to to put in its place. The Classic may change to an Executive.
 
It doesn't vary but it did evolve to this in the past couple of years. It may seem on the real heavy side to some, but its all about placement. Apologizes in advance for my really crappy digital camera...

Front Right Pocket - Beat to hell Vic Farmer
Front Right (change?) Pocket - Leatherman Wave
In The Waste Band - Spyderco Chinook III
Front Left - Gerber Utility/Money Clip Blade?

When wearing jeans with this setup I cant even feel that I even have the Chinook III on me or the Wave. Vic Farmer lives in my pocket with my car/house key. The Gerber utility blade/money clip lives in the front left pocket, and I don't really carry a wallet. It's a two sided leather insert that was made for a swiss gear wallet that houses my drivers licence, health card, debit card, and key pass for work along with my insurance/registration - all in a tiny thin package. ,

So lets see, if i were to empty my rear and front pockets, I'm just producing a thin wallet + money clip, keys + vic farmer. The other two are hidden away which makes it always feel like I have a light weight load with me, yet I have 5 very sharp blades on me, one (the obvious) is dedicated to self defence if I were to ever find myself in that situation (which I don't). The other (gerber) is a cheap disposable blade that I'd use on anything with no care. The other (vic) is all arund best EDC knife for using in/out of the office, just happens to have a bottle/can opener, reamer, wood saw, knife, screw drivers. Ohh, and we are yet to get to the leatherman :). I think the wave is 17 tools in one? Two nice blades and many more tools that are needed expected/unexptected un everyday life.

I donno, my EDC setup is cheap and might be way to heavy for some, but if carried right you wont notice any of it and it'll all do you well.


Again sorry, for the crap camera.

Front left: Izula, ParaMilitary, RAT 1, BM 551-ORG, Old Timer 80T, or Opinel #7or8
Front right: Cadet, Tinker, or Juice S2 along w/ a Sharpie
Back right: "Custom" Duct tape wallet
 
These days the constant would be:
- SOG Pocket Powerplier configured to be knifeless
- SAK Midnite Manager
- Fenix L0D
- Mini Bic lighter
- Sandisk Cruzer Titanium 4 GB flash drive

The folder varies according to occasion and place:
- Ka-Bar Dozier Large Folding Hunter (most days)
- Timberline Valotton Signature Medium (Chicago)
- Volcan Coronado (Michigan & dressy occasions)
- Wenger Ranger (light weight & food prep)
- Spyderco Endura ZDP (extensive cutting)
 
Typically I carry a Kershaw Blur in my left pocket and I decide on a choice between the Leatherman Supertool, Wave, and SAK Soldier on my belt. If I am dressing up in the suit and so on, I tend to go with my Kershaw Leek or Kershaw Centafante. I like Kershaw speedsafe knives for some reason.

Occasionally I swap stuff up and throw in some other knives, though these are generally seperate from say my gardening knives, or camping knives and so on.
 
FR- Spyderco Atlantic Salt w/ Krein Regrind
FL- Vic StayGlow Climber and HDS Ra 170T clipped to pocket
R Cargo Pocket- Surefire Pen III in black & tan
L Cargo Pocket- StayGlow Rambler on my keys
