What's in your bag? / Everyday carry (EDC)

Do they not sell sausages in your neck of the woods?

Well it will be the speed wallet next month for me.
And how will a picture of your wife help protect me against cock wort?

And I can afford to have 6 or 7 Muji pads and pens, and replace 'em quick sharp like.

Those speedwallets look the sex... When my wallet breaks...

Yup, they look the business.

I really rate my iPhone case from 31Trum and compared to what else is out there for that cash.

Cheaper than the CDG wallets I've got my eye on, for sure!

I must say, his kit does look great. A shame I'm flint atm.

Phone
iPod
Wallet
Lighter and smoking utensils
Lock
Pen and a bit of paper

this thread is useless without pictures

i've been hauling the workshop keys around lately while the boss has bee working from home. It's like a fucking anchor dragging me down wherever i go due to it's sheer brassy weight. Today i also have the truck keys as well. It's gotta be nearly a kilo of pointy shite.

i used to carry a benchmade pardue folding knife when i was a tree surgeon as well as a columbia blunt-tipped serrated bear claw rescue knife on my saw scabbard but don't really need them nowadays which is a shame as they're both lovely things in their own right.
Left pocket:
Phone
keys
book of matches or two

right pocket:
Freitag wallet

want a few 31trum bits when my current wallet wears out but they'll have to wait for now.

a what ?

In my previous life where I'd work as an electrician, I'd always have a Swiss army knife with me - handy for preparing meals. That was its only use. As I don't do that job any more and don't hang around on building sites too, I've got no need and lost it too. :(
But I'm still surprised how many would carry a knife with them.

Apart from that; as I hate it to carry things in a pocket, I have various shoulder bags with the following items, that vary according to what I need for the day;

• keys - the only item that is automatically checked before door is shut.
  
• wallet
  
• phone, which I always forget
  
• pencil case
  
• notebook (an actual note book)
  
• map, usually basic and compact - I don't believe in fancy digital maps
  
• depending on bike I'm going to use, there might be tools thrown in
  
• water bottle, always!
  
• on a lazy day where I take the train instead, a book or at least something to read..
  
• smoke stuff
  
• litter, because my bag always gets messy and is seldom emptied properly
  
• maybe clothes - I always have a picture about the weather for the next 24 hours in my head
  

a what ?

Rescue knife. No stabby but will slice through 18mm climbing rope in about 2secs

I don't believe in fancy digital maps

They definitely exist.

That's like when people say; "Oh, I don't believe in Halal meats...". Just, why?
It's just wrong...

Don't start me on halal...

As for the rescue knife, I'd use a saw bit in my Gerber. That bear claw thingy looks far too offensive for London.

This is what I cary in my bag when I cycle or go anywhere in my car. I'm bit worried about the Police - at least before I had an excuse to carry it with me, when I was rigging for conferences and events.

You worry? I legitimately use it for proper uses, but I'm only 17, and stereotypes come into play and assumptions are made. and no one believes me when I say that, honestly, the main uses for my knife are to open things, eat things and fix things; the largest knife is rarely used for anything other than apples.

This thing saved my life many times when abroad or on site without proper tools. And I mean my professional life. Never pulled it on my dealers.

Mine is in my bag always. never in my pocket. Just to remove the possibility of an impulse action... Hopefully, if I ever get into a situation I'd use it against someone - which I doubt - it will take long enough to get out that I realise what an absurd thing I'm trying to do.

I must say I owe my life to a Leatherman tool, (carrying out a repair to a small boat in Algeciras bay in the dark, with a big ship bearing down on me), as does one of my dogs, cutting a collar free when caught in a thorn bush on a crag in Scotland, and a Swan trapped by fishing line. It has certainly made thousands of everyday problems insignificant. I would never leave home without it. It as at least as much of a comfort blanket as anything else.

That's like when people say; "Oh, I don't believe in Halal meats...". Just, why?
It's just wrong...

A weekend with three pals on bikes in a city we all never have been before.

Pal 1: Look here, iPhone tells we have to go this way... er, no, this... here, there. Fuck now we're lost.
Other pals have no better suggestions to sort out situation.

After much debate and laughter, 'cause I pulled out old fashioned map + paper + pen, a route was drawn and then we did manage to make our way back with no fuss.

Point is, I do know we have nifty maps incorporated into phone devices and gadgets that want to help, but it just still can't beat it when one can quickly draw a sketch and memorize fix points you want to pass. I'm used to doing it that way.

I just follow Laner. Or Dropout. Or Multigroove. Not my responsibility if we're lost.

I'd like to see a swiss army knife that has no knife, only genuinely useful features.

Such as:

Chip fork.

Knickerbockerglory spoon.

bubble blower.

Pizza wheel.

moustache comb

a little magnetic stick for getting lost staples out of keyboards

A Nintendo DS stylus

A kazoo.

A BBQ scraper.

I'd buy one with that kind of stuff on it.
Repped, you card.

Yes, three days late but it took me a while to understand what the title of the thread means.
