Very nice set up there Marshall. A lot of thinking and planning obviously went into the items you carry. I'm just starting to put my own EDC pouch together. Great post

Nice photos. Nice to see.

Hi. Nice set up for wilderness PSK, Im doing one that is more geared to an urban setting, ie I wont need so many fire making options but will need the FAK and other things required in town for example.

Good setup and thanks for sharing.

Nice kit, but it would be a bit too bulky for me for EDC.

I have a belt kit which consists of two pouches. One contains a multitool (usually a Leatherman Charge Tti but may be another, depending on what I'm doing that day). The other contains a ThruNite T10 torch wrapped in a microfibre cloth, a blue flame lighter, tweezers, and a Victorinox Signature. That's two pairs of tweezers for the observant among you. Never leave home without it.

My FAK is the clothes that I'm wearing.

Hi just a little question. Which Expedition pouch is it the EDC or the smaller one

 

[Scots_Charles_River]

The First Aid kit is in a smaller EDC Pouch ?

 

[Scots_Charles_River]

Are there alternative pouches, made by others ?

 

[MikeLA]

Wondered if it was the Maxpedition EDC Pocket Organiser Mini or the Maxpedition Micro Pocket Organiser

 

[Marshall]

They are:

EDC: Maxpedition 0259G Mini Pocket Organizer (OD Green)
FIRST AID KIT: Maxpedition 0223K Tactile Pocket Small (Khaki)

Are there alternative pouches, made by others ?

Nick, I had good noname pouch for the EDC/First Aid Kit.
But it was good for one year then disintegrated.

I have a few things from Maxpedition and polish products from Miwo Military www.miwo-military.net - they are indestructible.

 

[MikeLA]

Thank you, have been looking at these and your photos have made up my mind. Seeing what your contents are

I don't like the EDC term, it smacks of Prepper OMG DOOMSDAY to me, but I do carry a few things when I am in work-

Leatherman Charge (it's a tool box)
Pocket security bit set and driver.
Small first aid kit (focused on burns)
Gas Soldering iron.
32gb memory stick.

Other than that,
SGS2
Zippo and a spare gas lighter.
Maxpediton pouch with 6 cigars in it and a bullet cutter, and matches.
Wallet.
Keyring, Key's, glow in the dark thingy, mini mag light, s4 leatherman 16gb memory stick, marbles match safe with matches in it.

When out with groups, I have similar kit but in a bulky rucksac. Would like a wee EDC pouch.

Maybe someone should organise a Group Buy

I like the kit it's very smart:

Would it be rude to suggest?
I'd wrap some gorrila tape round the pill bottle
Add a whistle
A Cliff bar
swap the bic for a wenger & carry spare batteries for the torch
A pair of latex gloves for the FAK might also be useful
Maybe a small burns dressing too?

I'm addicted to carrying too much stuff in my jacket
Most of the pockets strain a bit
I would post a show & tell pic as well but fear I would get ridiculed for excess

My EDC tin, is basically a slightly enhanced FAK in a tobacco tin, it includes those things I might forget to take out with me otherwise and is predicated around what I use and what is useful to me, thus it includes earplugs, a comb, a pencil, a small fork (kebabs for the eating of) It does not contain anything sharp or suggestive of Ninja assassins.

Other than that I carry a number of useful items on my keyring, which vary from day to day or where I am going. Both get good usage, I not infrequently have recourse to the plasters in the tin, as cutting myself is an occupational hazard on my allotment.

Wow, 12 years, so much has changed...
Here are some photos from two days ago - my EDC doing its thing during a small repair.

​

I'll get around to taking pictures of my full EDC and First Aid Kit sometime soon.
