That does look a nice vintage piece i remember going in to a camping shop when I was about 9, bought a sheath knife, one of the hollow handle ramboesque sawback blade ones, wore it on my belt everywhere for the rest of the holiday, in shops, high street.....no one batted an eyelid, this was...

Vintage stove, nice, That reminds me ive got an old parafin stove from the 50's i think...my fathers camping stove, but i havent used that yet as its the backup for the house.... the ex military stuff is a given, i used some ww1 pattern webbing for my kit when i was a child, did a dartmoor...

It came back to bite me once At work one of the girls in accounts had ripped the top buttons off her blouse so i had my sewing kit with me in my kit to lend her... I was not popular with the guys in the workshop that day....

True but it does annoy me when people ( not here) dis on EDC , perhaps because in america EDC often means your concealed pistol,, and yet the same people would happily spend loads of money on a starbucks or a premade sandwich, the argument that anything you need you can get froma shop...

EDC i tend to assume as you dont want to buy extra/walk a long distance to get. So i never edc at home but my belt edc, could definitely be considered a survival kit.... Poncho....if im 20 mins walk from my car and it suddenly rains, i dont always have a coat on, sits in small pouch on...

i wouldnt bother with a batetry bank, if you have a torch that acts as one ( sofirn IF23 is what i use) , but there are also now usefull battery banks that are also pocket warmers, and also sometimes rape alarms.... one of those shopping bags that folds up on itself, very handy to have in...

Well ive got a grappling hook in a pouch on my belt! when im working or cycling, i have a belt with various molle pouches, its undergone loads of changes, lots of posts in ealrier pages of this thread. so it is a bit of a batman utility belt!

I may have said this in an earlier post, but i remember cycling in May years ago, sunny in morning and I was wearing short, by the afternoon it was snowing..... missing last bus and walking home, sudden downpour, weather is a big issue even in urban environments

That sounds familiar, but I wasnt willing to get something of similar price and risk bricking, the IF23 is rather excellent, the side cob light cannot be underestimated in usefullness....

it is similar to a lot of others, but each manufacturer changes the number of clicks, would be confusing to people that had different torches from different brands.... the powerbank feature is very handy, i find myself using most of the modes. even the red flashing light and magnet base is...

Its a great light, I use it everyday.....so many features

i use loads of the shorter ones for my belt stuff, nice to keep everything sperate, spreads the weight, gotta love molle

a small PSK tin for emergencies would be limited, a larger survival kit however obviously far more usefull this reminds me of several scenarios involving my kits... might have mentioend earlier in thread...while cycling across the city at uni, on way back from lecture. had small kit, think it...

Any water based activity does change things as it drastically changes both chances of losing gear underwater, and becoming wet and exposure being an issue, so an emergency kit then is vital...but not everything in a PSKtin, like Minotaur said fishing kit.

nothing wrong with carrying PSK, and often the contents are backups if main items die or go missing, main thing is generally otehr non PSK items work better, so PSK only ( ratehr than raiding a PSK) is rare in UK, as we geenrally have other kit, or wait for other people to help or throw money...
