Today at work I had a small pry bar fall out of my pants. I have no idea where from, or how it even got there :confused: Anybody else have any funny stories about using or losing your EDC gear.
 
I was cleaning out some winter coats to give to good-will and found a Leatherman MT I had no idea I had or how it got there.

I don't even remember buying it....

I can't believe that you don't remember me loaning you that. I was wondering of you were ever going to return it!!!!
 
I was cleaning out a box next to my bed, I found a hand held GPS that I bought a few years ago and forgot about.
 
I pulled on a pair of pajama pants and found the folder I thought was lost. Still don't know how it got there.
 
When you don't even realize that you have multiple knives on you.

When someone asks for a bottle opener, and you have to think about which one to hand them.
 
When the fishing vest with 22 pockets (multiple items in each) runs out of room. I used to tell people that if I had one more pocket, I could could run away from home. My wife overheard that comment once and called my bluff. She said, "I'll sew an extra pocket on that thing."
 
When the metal detector keeps going off because you forgot the metal clip on something. The security guard finally had to use a wand, which was when I remembered the belt clip was still there.

When you run out of places to clip or hang things.

When you say "it's time for a bigger D-ring".

When you can't tell the difference between your daypack and your 72-hour bag.
 
When your MOLLE pouches have MOLLE pouches attached to them.
When you can survive a minor apocalypse on a minimalist day
When your wrists are more effective weapons than a baseball bat.
When you drop your bag and the concrete dents.
When you have a whole different swimming EDC.
When you have a "Sunday-go-to-meeting" bag.
When you have a different bag for each day of the week.
When your carryon won't even fit in the checked luggage compartment of a plane.
When your pants pockets have holes in them within an hour.
When you can walk 3 times faster without your bag.
OK, that's all I got for now... Whew.
 
when you get mistaken for a police officer because of your belt pouches.
when you have to rearrange your vehicle to make room for passengers.
when the people at the post office know you on a first name basis because you always get packages in the mail
 
when you get an extra 10 mpg when you leave your bag at home,
When people think you are a walking military resupply.
When you have over 10 lbs of sharp steel on your person at any given time.
When the ambient light from your flashlights blinds you.
