Great pack...diggin the orange! No better way to be prepared than with an XM. :thumbup: great pics!
 
Cool, for more conversation you should consider elaborating on contents and rational, it will likely open dialog, with potential value to some.

I have XMs and Bussekin scattered about in my gear-systems where they are/may be handy.
 
I work in a semi formal office environment so I've limited myself to 6 XM's, 2 Spyderco's and a Fallkniven for my EDC!

One in the pocket, the rest in my laptop bag.

Oh, I forgot the ZT 0560CFCB......

Clearly I have no decisive powers to choose one knife.....
 
Well seems like JT has the knife part covered with his XM's !! Do you also carry a Go Bag (EDC Kit), if so what do you carry? This should be good!
