edc [everyday carry] shaved my wife

Knife is a Warren Thomas Titanium, Sonny gave it to me as a xmas gift.

Specs on the knife: http://www.tadgear.com/shop.php?id=473

Damn, that's an incredible xmas gift. I need to be friends with sonny.

[t.wayne]

a buddy of mine just showed me his surefire E1e executive elite flashlight. he found it on a bike trail a year ago. it's pretty sweet, but the light is really weak. the battery is a SF123A 3 volt. what battery should i recommend for him?

[branespload]

SF123a 3volt is just a Surefire rebrand of a Panasonic CR123a. Any CR123a will work if it's 3.0V, but Surefire batteries are considered to be some of the best primaries anyway. Maybe just find him some new ones?

and sonny, nice to see you back in here. The P1 with an impact bezel is rly cute... The P1 is so small though, an impact bezel on a light that size seems kinda.. eh?

and the dodo is a cool looking knife~

[lmaozedong]

where do you all keep your iphone anyway? it wont fit in any of my pockets except my back pocket (where i usually keep my phones) but i dont want to sit on it every day..

[sonny]

i keep mine in a shirt pocket most of the time.

[branespload]

i take mine out of my back left pocket whenever i sit down.. i either hold it (not paying attention in lecture concept) or put it in my front left pocket temporarily.

[amardeep]

how thick is your iphone case that an iphone won't fit into your front pocket?

front left for me

[xcoalesce]

@kiya: keepin' it Ti!

@sonny: nice tact bezel on the p1

@superbeveridge: killer knife definitely a prized piece

i sit on mine, and it's been fine. had it since like two weeks after the 3g first came out... so like a year and a half now?

sometimes pants are too tight... or pockets aren't cut generously enough. At least that's the case for me. I don't have an iphone, but I do have a qwerty phone that I carry around in my hoodie pocket (I'm almost always wearing a hoodie, except for summer )

Any recommendations for a pill fob?

Or are these bitches from Amazon decent enough?

Been tryin different foods/places with my lady, and I dont feel like haveing allergies.

[ghostdeini]

^^ my guess is as good as yours... however that one dude's comment about residue from the inside of the container rubbing off on his pills is kinda unnerving. I wish it weren't so difficult to find stuff made in the USA of non-toxic materials...

on an unrelated note, I *really* want one of these. Maxpedition's Fat Boy bag.

Although I doubt I'd use it too often, and my friends would make fun of me. I already catch enough shit about spending my money on Japanese pens and carrying around a flashlight. I presume you guys have had similar experiences? In any case, it would be useful as a bug-out bag, walking around on vacation (ideally summertime Tokyo,) or just for hiking in the woods, and at $70 it's within my range of consideration...

Be aware Stunt, I have those and they are small as shit! I'm talking like two baby Tylenol and tha'ts it, they're pretty much useless except for maybe a rolled up bill. try and find ones a little bigger or roll down to your local pharmacy and see what they have in stock, you might be surprised like I was.

[rome1]

Ghostdeini I was thinking about snatching up their new "Jumbo E.D.C." pack, take a look at it, it's only 67 bucks and it seems to be bigger than the Fat Boy.

Well, I'd only use em for benadryl, which are small as shit. Would only need like the few emergency pills.

Any worry about the inside coating rubbing onto the pills?

But I will double check some pharmacys.

.

i have had one of these for a few years. it makes a really good camera bag for a small dlsr. i can fit my d40 and either extra lenses or my cullmann 50011 tripod in the main pocket.

the ballistic nylon belt clip on the rear can make a mess of clothing, and is only there to make a decent platform for drawing a concealed weapon.

Does anyone know if a bag dump post exists? I searched and can't seem to find one.

I think I might start a new post for bag dumps as the EDC is more of whats on your person.

[stuntastic]

There mighta been something in supertrash? I coulda sworn there was one on this forum.

See first post threads of interest...

I should also clarify that bag dumps are totally welcome here. EDC in this context is not meant to be taken literally -- but rather a philosophy of preparedness. In this way, bag dumps / bug out bags etc are also welcome, not only what is carried in your pockets.

[branespload]

I've modified the OP to accomodate demand for discussing bag carry or bag preparedness such as BOBs (sorry vamp). and Citizen, check out the first link under threads of interest. Thanks

Every Day Carry, or EDC, generally refers to small items or gadgets worn, carried, or made available in pockets, holsters, or bags*on a daily basis to manage common tasks or for use in unexpected situations or emergencies.

....

EDIT [01.03.10]: Revised introduction to allow the discussion and inclusion of equipment carried outside of the pockets such as bags, as well as bags used only in emergencies such as bail out/bug out bags, etc.

superfuture® Threads of Interest

What do you pack on a daily basis? in your bag, pockets, etc.

[superbeveridge]

I have the S&W one and it's well worth the 20-30 bucks you'll spend on it. Benchmade makes an awesome one but it costs a ton.

Anyone know where I can get this in Toronto Canada. I'd like to actually pick it up and feel it before I buy it.

[twistedtrees]

For shoulder bags, you could also check out 5.11 Tactical. Their Push Pack looks similar, and is only $50

I got a 5.11 Tactical "Rush 24" backpack this spring and the thing is insanely durable. It's really heavy, but it carries everything and has plenty of pockets for edc stuff. Plus, I haven't had the need to Scotchgaurd it yet because it's very water resistant. 5.11 makes great packs--good construction, good components (heavy duty ykk zippers, etc.)

^ i don't think the mods will do any thread merging. i intended for this thread to stand apart from the other threads of interest because they are mainly "Show and Tell" threads, whereas this is more of a discussion/exchange of ideas. For that reason I left those older "show and tell threads" as just examples compiled in the introduction of this thread to give people an idea. This thread aims to go beyond that.

With that said, please, share your bag dump
