4) Cell Phone
5) Handgun - Depending on where I will be I carry either a Kel-Tec P3AT, a Glock 17, or a NAA Mini Revolver in .22lr. On occasion I carry all 3.
6) SureFire G2

My laptop bag is almost like mini BOB and is normally with me. SAS Survival Manual, roll of duct tape, magnesium fire starter, matches, bic lighter, knife sharpener, K-Bar, space blanket, spare flashlight, Grundig Crank AM,FM,Shortwave Radio. Spare Mags for the Glock. I know I am forgetting something. Oh yeah...Laptop.

Some items may be left at home depending on the situation. I obviously dont carry all of it when at the pool That would get a few raised eyebrows.

[BAD BOY]

You carry all that every single day, every place you go Sounds more like your GHO/BOB supplies to me. EDC should be what's on your person Every Day.

[Molon Labe]

I carry my Get-Home-Bag everywhere I go.

But yea, it does seem like a mini-BOB

[scaryterry]

In my pockets:
wallet
handkerchief
keys
chap stick

In my purse:
something to knit
tape measure
small knife that my brother gave me
bic lighter
eyeglass cleaning towel
cell phone
cut glove
small plastic pill box with motrin in it
day planner
metal spoon
ricola, I am afraid of sore throats
tea bag
orange sharpie
black pen
random change
candy
feminine hygiene products
work apron which has pen, paper, box cutter, work gloves, chap stick, bouncy ball with an eyeball inside, candy.

I also usually carry some kind of liquid. Either my sigg bottle of water or a huge cup of iced coffee. Sometimes I also take my lunch. When not working I usually carry my camera.

After reading through this thread I think I will throw a flashlight and some band aids or small first aid kit in there too.

Like Lerch, I have quite a bit in my laptop bag. Sometimes even a laptop! I spend more time pruning what’s in there to make sure I can still lug it around.

Duluth Trading makes good belt pouches and laptop/brief cases if you hadn’t heard of them.

[D-Train]

I have, on my belt pouch:

My multitool (a gerber)
Cell phone
Pen
Paper

You've got a better belt pouch than Batman.
As for my EDC: wallet, keys, cell phone. Sorry it's not more exciting.

[five seveN KILLS ZOMBIE]

[Zeke481]

My EDC:

Cell Phone
Mini Maglite
Gerber Multi-tool
Lighter of some sort
Thumb drive

I don't really have anything on the thumb drive that'd be useful though. It's on my keychain & I'm afraid I'd lose it or something with all my personal info on it Anyone know of a good encryption program or something?

My EDC:

Leatherman c301 knife (2.8" blade, half-serrated)
Wallet
Money clip (separate from wallet)
A pen (it's a silver Cross something-or-other)
2 LED penlights: one white, one UV
Leatherman Wave multi-tool and full bit set
31" expandable baton
Cell phone (Nokia N95)
Keys
EDIT: a pair of 2GB USB flash drives

You will note the lack of more serious hardware. This is due to the fact that Ohio sucks and you need to be 21 even to touch a handgun. You will note also the absence of any disaster preparedness gear. This is due to the fact that I am new to the concept and is subject to change.

[gart43]

I divide my EDC into 2 categories:

[JonnyWill]

Here is what I carry every day ... Ronson Butane Lighter (Torch Type)...

Those Ronson Lighters are pretty nice for the price aren't they?
I had one for a while but lost it...I stick to Bics these days as I always lose my "in my pocket all the time" lighters.

I had hoped my first post would be more grand than this one but all I felt like doing was necroposting, until now.

How does your springfield run? Any regular stoppages or hiccups? Thinking about a bare-bones 1911A1, but I'm not sure how to drop the cash on one. I've got enough guns as it is.

I hear this all the time. Where are you supposed to keep them?

[airballrad]

Where are you supposed to keep them?

Why, in your EDC bag, of course...
