It’s been a while since my last English entry. I’ve recently updated my EDC (Every Day Carry) setup…figure I might as well make a record of it. I’ll post photos or video of these items as soon as I have time.

Primary EDC:

  1. Dockers Mobile Pant (I wear no other kind. Just different color for different occasion…)
  2. Right pocket: Nokia 6680 3G phone
  3. Right pocket: No-name el-cheapo frame-locked folding knife with 440 stainless leaf blade
  4. Left hidden trouser pocket: Bandana #1
  5. Right hidden trouser pocket: Butane Lighter
  6. Right hidden trouser pocket: Burt’s Bee Res-Q Ointment
  7. Left inner hidden pocket: Loose change
  8. Left inner hidden pocket: USB flash drive 32G
  9. Left inner hidden pocket: Metal business card case containing important cards, spare cash, various small notes, and…uhm…business cards
  10. Left hidden trouser pocket: Eye drop
  11. Left hidden trouser pocket: Chapstick
  12. Left hidden trouser pocket: Bandana #2
  13. Left rear pocket: Gun Top Grade police-issue hard nylon (Cordura) wallet. This is the “normal-usage” wallet, containing IDs, bank cards, cash, etc.
  14. Wenger thin metal chain attached to the GTG wallet
  15. Right rear pocket: Porter soft nylon wallet. This is the “emergency” wallet, containing less-used IDs, credit cards, mini-pen, paperclips, latex gloves, duct tape, emergency medicine and first-aid kit.
  16. Gun Top Grade 32mm police-issue hard nylon belt with quick-release buckle
  17. Belt rear left side: Climbing-rated Carabiner. The Wenger chain goes here, attached to my key chain. Key chain usually stashed in the left pocket.
  18. Key chain: em….bunch of keys
  19. Key chain: Emergency whistle (in red)
  20. Key chain: Mini flat-head and Philips-head screwdriver set
  21. Key chain: Tool Logic mini-LED light with mini toolset (flat&Philips) and pen.
  22. Key chain: Mini laser pointer.
  23. Key chain: Mini measuring tape (2m).
  24. Key chain: Mini Tusa Fin (just a neat little decorative thingy)
  25. Belt rear right side: Spyderco Spyderench in a nylon pouch
  26. Belt rear left side: Victorinox SwissChamp with knife sharpener stick in a leather pouch with 2×1m 550 paracords tied in a stacked box-knot lanyard
  27. Belt rear left side: Fenix L1D-CE Q5 120 lumens LED Flashlight (running on a single AA battery) in a nylon pouch
  28. Left wrist: Suunto D4 Dive Computer/Wrist Watch. I dive with it, and use the digital compass on land.
  29. Right wrist: 2×1m 550 paracords tied in a cobra-stitch bracelet. Another source of paracord.
  30. Left ankle: 2×1m 550 paracords tied in a permanent weave bracelet. Another source of paracord.

Yes, seriously, I actually do carry these things everyday. On my very person. About 2kg (sans optional items). My secondary EDC, i.e. knapsack (what I heave to work everyday) is about 5kg. What’s in it? Maybe some other time.
