What are you EDCing?

[Lee Wright]

Ive got pockets full of kleenex and lint and holes where everything important to me just seems to fall right down my leg and onto the floor....


Ah, ok its my trusty and rusty 1941 wostenholm jack knife.

My closest friend linoleum, LINOLEUUUUUUUUUUM!

EDC for me is a phone, memory stick and wallet. I can't think of any situation that I couldn't get out of with the use of a phone and a bit of money, if I was in a location where these items wouldn't be enough then I would alter accordingly but I never stray far from the beaten track on a daily basis.

Have you ever had one of those moments when you suddenly realised that something that was on the end of your keyring, because that is where it always was and was meant to be, Isnt?

Well I just have. I am one neat little LED lenser manqué and I have no idea, when, or where or how or why it became separated from my keyring.

It seems if the proverbial **** tomorrow I will not now be one of the survivors

While having a browse around I came across this.

http://www.davidappleton.co.uk/bbforum/cja1988_s139_card.pdf

it's a link to a printable wallet size PDF of the Criminal Justice Act Section139.
The idea is you can print it out and laminate it and offer it to security guards or police that try to give you a hard time about a legal EDC.

TY very much for that.

Not sure if I would like to rely on that section for my defence, it's OK for an EDC, but if you have a fixed bushy, then you are in the schtook.

Wallet (never any money it) and change
keys (lots of keys)
Mobile phone
Leatherman wave and bit kit
Pencil and Maglite solitaire (in leatherman case)
Led lenser T7

That's the stuff that goes everywhere with me, everything else lives in the landrover.

Wallet
Phone (battered old Sony Ericsson on pay as you go, I don't cry if it gets lost or broke then, thin in my pocket too)
Change in a leather pouch in pocket (stops it rolling out my pockets when I sit down anywhere)
Chewing gum (fits in the little inset pockets in jeans nicely)
Keys

If I've got a bag with me (usually shoulder bag, but sometimes a daysack if I've got other stuff with me) I'll also have:
'Magic' contact gloves, the cheap thin stretchy sort
Telescopic umbrella (well, until mine turned inside out one time to many and broke)
Notebook and pen, stops me forgetting all my thoughts before I can get back and write them down!
Water in a 1L Sigg (stops me from wasting money on buying unhealthy pop or whatever when I'm gasping)

Am currently on the hunt for a windshirt type affair, something that will be an extra layer over whatever I'm wearing to keep a bit of the wet, wind or cold out whilst packing down tiny- something like a Montane featherlite (I think they do a waterproof version) should do it. I should also probably look at something like a mini torch, whistle, this sort of stuff too, my phone display doesn't make a very good torch... I'm not sure a blade and firelighting kit would go down too well in the UK for everyday use.
