What's your Every Day Carry.... EDC?

[DrGonzo]

I stick to Bics these days as I always lose my "in my pocket all the time" lighters.

Step 1: Get a Bic lighter, a piece of paracord about six inches long, and about eight inches of duck tape. Tie an overhand knot in each end of the paracord and then tape it in a loop over the south end of your lighter.

Step 2: Attach the lighter to your keychain via the paracord loop.

Step 3: Enjoy the warm, secure glow that comes with always having a lighter attached to your keys.

Or get one of these.

Update: changed my EDC knife from the Gerber Remix knife (Do not buy. After one day of lite use, cutting rope and some nylon webbing the blade would not lock open.)
Picked up a Kershaw Skyline Love it.
I have much nicer knifes but I try to keep them around 50 ta 60 bucks for EDC.
The nicer ones I save for hunting, fisting and camping.

For current EDC, two security items are always ...

10mm Glock 29 and Benchmade 9050 AFO.


Both are light and portable, concealable, and effective for their intended role.

There are many zippered pockets, and 2 main compartments. I'll always carry 4 energy bars, and something for lunch, along with the flask in one compartment. The other has note pads, mail, and "projects".

The List:

Taurus Millennium Pro PT145 with 11, 45 cal Rds
