A pic tamara posted (found here: http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=44519) got me thinking. Anyone have pics of their EDC? I do (minus the pistol, I'm a minor, and it's an airsoft).

Moderators, feel free to kick this over to handguns if you see fit, I don't think anyone's going to be carrying a rifle.

Left to right:

-Guess Watch (carried on wrist)

-Wallet (back right)

-Keyring with 2 keys and a swisskey, which opens to give you a blade, a serrated blade, a bottle opener, and a screwdriver (Front Right)

-Airsoft USP (Mexican style @ 6:00 when I do, just for kicks)

-Chinese-made knife I picked up in chinatown that I use as a beater (IWB @ 4:00 when in school or concealing, back right when not)

- CS Voyager (Front left)

-Minimaglight in belt pouch (@ 3:00 on belt)

[BluesBear]

-Airsoft USP (Mexican style @ 6:00 when I do, just for kicks)

How long have you had this death wish? :scrutiny:

[winstonsmith]

I mean around the house. Not in public. I'm not that stupid.

Just to walk downstairs to get a bottle of water while I'm practicing with it.

Sorry for the misunderstanding.

[Andrew Wyatt]

[Stickjockey]

Umm...forgive the lack of tacticality:o , but could someone please define "EDC"?

[Black Majik]

EDC means Every Day Carry

[tyme]

BluesBear, were you referring to the dangers of carrying a real-looking immitation firearm in San Fran, or to the danger of carrying at 6:00 due to potential for spinal injury?

[Stickjockey]

Thanks, Black.

[Black Majik]

no problem

[Black Majik]

lets see some more EDC pics. I know theres a LOT more CCW holders out there!

[Matt G]

No walnut bowl (as pictured; it's my pocket plunder bowl), but everything else gets carried, bidness daze.

Everything goes in pockets or belt loops, 'cept the Kimber at 4 and the Kel Tec.
[Um, uh, "Mexican carry" at 6:00 :rolleyes:]

Of course I didn't include the Benelli in Chinese-American-carry at 1800 hrs.

[Idaho]

Matt G - Is that a Pro Carry? I saw your picture and thought "hey, that's my stuff!" I carry a Kimber Pro Carry (not ss though), P32 bug, and the same CRKT knife.

Wallet

Can't carry at work-no concealed weapons on military installations; Not there violent crime is exactly a problem there. But when I'm out and about, once the permit comes, Sig P229 in .40SW

http://www.thehighroad.org/attachment.php?s=&postid=592171

[Snowdog]

Besides my wallet, watch, cellphone and keys (with an LED light attached), it's just my K9 and a Benchmade Stryker. If I need more than that, I'm completely confident I can improvise until I can get to the Jeep (where the good stuff is).
The amount of stuff some here carry everyday is incredible, but my mommy always told me keep pointless criticism to myself, so I'll just wink an' nod my head.... ;)

Though I do like the idea of BUBA (Back-Up Body Armor) for a quick change-out during a firefight and a spare wallet just in case one of them takes a bullet. :neener:

[Skunkabilly]

Mpayne, don't forget you can use the TBTs as distraction devices!

[Andrew Rothman]

In a SHTF situation, I am counting on me peeing my pants to be a significant distraction! ;)

[powderific]

Sadly while I am attending school in Nebraska, it is unlawful for me to carry, but when I'm back home in Sioux Falls, I have the following:

Glock 26 in one of the crappy glock holsters and 1 extra mag
Surefire Executive E2
Cellphone
Wallet
Watch (tag)
Benchmade Stryker
Chapstick
Keys
Leatherman Wave

[simon]

Skunk, what knife is that?
I gotta have one...

[Skunkabilly]

Emerson Karambit, the tactical seahorse :)

[simon]

May I ask where I could get one?

[Skunkabilly]

No. :neener:

But www.emersonknives.com and www.tadgear.com are good starts. :D www.contactdefense.com for training. HIGHLY recommended. Like with power tools, exercise caution when getting into karambits-- the chances you may hurt somebody are great ; The chances you may hurt yourself are much greater ;)

[moa]

No condoms? How uncivilized. :D

Have to be ready for all types of "action". :rolleyes:

[Black Snowman]

No CCW in KS.
EDC is slowly being upgraded.

Currently:
Kershaw 3" folder (soon to be upgraded to a Cold Steel Recon-1 at which time I'll carry both).
StreamLight TwinTask 2 lithium flashlight
cell phone
wallet

[simon]

WOW!:what:
Thats one expensive knife!
At least you can get one for about $100- off at the second link

[keyhole]

Gotta admire your choice of equipment Skunk!


EDC fer me

duty belt, (feel like Batman with all the gear)
.40 Glock, Surefire, cuffs, etc., etc.,

off duty, usually have something handy!:evil:

Hey it's ok to feel like Batman as long as you look like a yuppie or whatever population you're trying to blend into....

Some sort of pocketknife (or knives)

[George Hill]

My wife says "oooooohhhh... I love that bag!"
:rolleyes:
And I'm over here thinking, "ooooooohhhh... nice little Colt."

[Betty]

That bag can be purchased here. (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B00009KYPK/qid=1069045466/sr=1-3/ref=sr_1_3_a/104-6105972-1599965?v=glance&n=1036682)

Italian leather, black or red, with handy back zip pocket for accessing with the left hand, which so happens to be great for grabbing extra mags or a flashlight. :p

[WhoKnowsWho]

Wish I could carry a bag like that to hold everything... well I could but I don't want the funny looks. :D

EDC:
P32 or Para Carry
A variety of folding knives depending on what I feel like
Wallet

Hmm, I need a flashlight... and probably a cell phone.

[S_O_Laban]

Wow, now we know the "real" reason some here can't vietsquat.:neener: :D

[marauder220]

I can't seem to get my pics to work right now, but here goes anyway.

On duty- Glock 23 in safariland 295 lev2 rig. 4 spare 13rnd mags.
Second Glock 23 on a vest mount holster. Emerson Super-Commander in right hand pocket, regular Emerson Commander in left hand pocket. All the other usual crap, ASP baton, OC, surefire light, M3 light for Glock, etc.
Rem 870 and a Bushmaster L.E. M-4 in the car.

Off Duty\Casual- Lately its been both Glocks, or a Sig P220 and an HK USP .45. Usually one spare mag for each weapon. The Emerson Super-Commander is a daily thing regardless. I also carry a Cold Steel Peace Keeper Dagger, or my Gary Bradburn American Fighter. I alternate fixed blade fighting knives a bit pending my dress and occasions.

[Oracle]

My EDC is as follows:

G26 in a Sidearmor IWB holster
Spare 17-round mag in a Sidearmor mag carrier
Waved Spyderco Endura
Leatherman Wave
Surefire G2 Nitrolon
Extra Small Wallet (I carry my wallet in my front pocket, so it's basically just a small credit card carrier)
Keys, with mini-LED light, on a carabiner on one of my belt loops

That's about it.

I admit, I envy women their purses. I guess I have to look into seeing if I could work a courier bag into my ensemble. It would sure be helpful for things like a flashlights and extra mags.

I'd like to see Queer Eye for the Straight guy do a makeover on a LEO or a legally carrying civilian. Heck, I'd like a woman who knew something about guns to tell me how to dress without looking like a complete dork or printing.

[T.Stahl]

Not necessarily my everyday carry, it's more like the Saturday-Night-Carry I carry around when my brother and I go downtown for Pool, Snooker, and some Guinness or Killkenny afterwards. ;)
Upper pockets:
- gloves, Surefire G2
- mobile phone (old Siemens, doubles as a club ;) )
- pointy all-metal ball-pen, pocket-calculator (don't ask!), glasses
Lower right pocket:
- 1st aid pack in MRE pouch, two field dressings, emergency blanket, a protective mask for giving CPR, 1 yard of paracord, a bandana, first aid manual (ZDv 49/20), Maglite Solitaire w/ spare battery
In trouser pockets:
- pack of tissues, handkerchief (aka "tactical towel"), wallet, and give-away wallet filled with small coins and paper
On belt/waistband:
- Swiss Tool (3 o'clock), Herbertz one-hand folder (IWB at 11 o'clock, behind Swiss Tool at 4 o'clock or with mobile phone in upper pocket.
On wrist:
- G-Shock

[Correia]

Betty, what no hand grenades? :p

[TechBrute]

Here's what I'm carrying right now:

Maxpedition Fatboy
Nalgene 1 Liter smallmouth bottle
Glock 27
Leatherperson Wave
Cold Steel Voyager Tanto
Surefire A2 with white LEDs
Whatever type of pen that is that they have by the ton at my office
Notepad
Compaq iPaq 3765
Sony Microvault
Emerson Kerambit
Cheapo Sprint camera phone
Rockler pocket screwdriver

Not pictured:
Wallet
Keys with Leatherman Micro and Maglite Solitaire
Checkbooks
Glock 23
The Kodak digital camera that I took this picture with:D
http://www.thehighroad.org/attachment.php?s=&postid=642223

[Skunkabilly]

Damn, Techbrute, we have too much common gear :o (gear stalker!!!)

Those pens you have at the office, I almost bought a pack because they look almost like CF from a distance :o

[geegee]

Domzilla: Is that a Mika pocket holster I've spied there? I've carried my EDC folder (a Sebenza for the past year) in one of his knife holsters for about 3-4 years. geegee

[Erik]

See!

Proof positive that the liberal adage that all concealed carriers are paranoid is false!

Apparently, only some of us are...

;)

Erik - good ol' fashioned gun, magazine, knife, multitool, E2E... Uh oh... Umm... Paranoid guy? :eek:

[TechBrute]

Damn, Techbrute, we have too much common gear (gear stalker!!!) LOL...

Come on now... I know you don't carry any of those little plastic guns that I carry... there's nowhere to put CF on them. :D

As for the Nalgene bottles, it was my wife that turned me on to them. After I got some, I noticed that lots of other people (most notably the tactical skunk) carry them as well. Apparently they made all the lab containers that she used to use.

The A2, well, what can I say, we both have good flashlight tastes. I was carrying an L4 up until recently, and a 6Z before that (old school!) I'm really just trying to get one of each, anyway.:neener:

Ok, now the Emerson... you may have had something to do with that... between you and Pat Rogers (now there's a pair:D) I wondered if there's something to this whole Karambit thing. I got the Emerson because it was half the price of the Strider, and I wanted a folder. Plus, now that I've been using it, the Wave feature is very cool. I'm currently looking around for my CQC-7 to see if it's waved, too.

I always find it funny if I see some of my kit in your pictures because it's like getting the Skunkabilly Seal of Tacticality. You'd never approve of any of my field gear, though, it's all brown, tan, and OD. :D

[Billmanweh]

The A2, well, what can I say, we both have good flashlight tastes. I was carrying an L4 up until recently,


mind if I ask why you prefer the A2 over the L4?

[TechBrute]

I like both, but I carry the A2 primarily due to its dual-level illumination.

Try this exercise, you'll see what I mean: Print directions off your computer onto a standard 8.5x11 white sheet of paper. Drive around a neighborhood with minimal or no streetlights. Now hold the piece of paper in one hand and hit it with your light. Instant nightblindness.

With the A2, you can hit it with the 15 lumen (or whatever it is) beam and not get it all back in your eyes.

I like the L4 because it is more compact, and the switch is much easier to operate under stress. I also like the click-on feature better than the A2. I often find myself carrying both.

[Skunkabilly]

That's because the truly tactical carry Rite-in-the-Rain tactical notebooks....
http://www.riteintherain.com/tactical%20page/tact%20boound%20book%20980%20direct.gif

Techbrute, re: field gear, I like earth tones better but since I spend most of my time in the city, it looks too paramilitary, but everyone has black packs.

I think the L4 is too bright for a mapreading light. That's why I like the A2, then I can use the incandescent to light up the street signs around tactical potluck insertion zones.

[Kevlarman]

Wow, how come I haven't contributed to this thread yet!?

Anyways, I carry a bunch of crap in my pockets, which is why I usually wear cargo pants, jeans, or my Royal Robbins.

My keyring, in addition to my keys, has a Leatherman Squirt P4 on it. There's also a Brinkmann Legend 2AA flashlight. I have replaced the standard incandescent bulb with a sandwich module which contains a 1W Luxeon Star LED. Very bright for a flashlight this size, and I can use NiMH batteries instead of expensive 123A batts.

Nokia 5100 cell phone.

Benchmade AFCK D2.

Spec-OPS "The Wallet"
It's big enough to hold my passport and yet small enough to fit in my back pocket! I love the fact that the closure system does not use velcro (that can wear out) or metal snaps (that can be noisy). I stuck a chain on it for more security and to possibly use it as an offensive weapon if the need arises.

[Billmanweh]

well, I have an Arc AAA on the keychain for lowlight uses (mapreading, etc.) and a Tigerlight in the car for when I really need to reach out and light something up...

so I was thinking of getting an L4 for EDC...

but then again, can you ever have too many flashlights?

(the answer, of course, is no)

:neener:

[Skunkabilly]

but then again, can you ever have too many flashlights?

Yes, when they cost more than your guns :neener:

[TechBrute]

Ok, but does that mean that you spent too much on flashlights, or not enough on the gun?

And where does the knife fit in? What if the knife is more than the gun? That's a WHOLE lot easier to do.

[Billmanweh]

well, I use and play with my flashlights alot more than I do with my guns and knives, although they're all fun to have.

[mwithers72]

[SapperLeader]

Im planning on taking some pictures today of the altoids fak, but the basic contents of the kit are:
40-45 inches of medical tape all over the tin.
2 2x2 guaze sterile bandages
2 alcohol swabs
1 fingertip bandaid
1 knuckle bandaid
1 large and 1 small waterproof sports bandaid
4 acetaminophen tablets (wrapped in aluminium foil)

8 pepto tablets
4 immodium tablets
1 pair of rubber gloves
1 pair of tweezers

Not bad, for crammed in a altoids tin eh :)

[clipse]

Not bad at all. I made a little Altoid tin survival kit awhile back. I have changed the contents since the pics though. I carried it untill I accidently ran over it with a go cart.

Nice survical kit! A Survival Kit in a altoids tin is my next project. Im currently working on updating my houses emergency supplies and getting new full blown fak.

[clipse]

I changed the matches to Stike Anywhere Kitchen matches.
I also changed to Birthday candles to Trick candles that don't blow out.:D

This thing was fun to put together. I may start making them and giving them out as presents to my family.

[Thrash1982]

Thanks! :) Now I gotta see if I can scrounge up everything I need.

[Kentucky Rifle]

Leatherman makes a newer, even smaller version called the P4 or S4 "Squirt". The P4 model is pliers based and the S4 is sizzors based. I have both. The needle-nosed pliars on the P4 work very well. I like the Squirts better than the Micras because all the additional tools, including the blade, open from the outside. The S4 model includes tweezers and sizzors that *actually cut. The P4 is perfect for my range bag. The S4 is perfect for my first aid kit which I keep in a pocket sized leather pouch. Not big at all. I even have room for an Arc LSH-P light with the *twist end cap. (It's EXTREMELY bright!)

Will
