EDC "Pocket Dump"

[zombiehunter]

So, I see on so many other sites what is commonly known as an EDC or Every Day Carry (also known sometimes as a pocket dump) but didn't see anything posted on INGO so I decided to start this thread.

So, what do YOU carry every day you leave the house? *Pictures are encouraged!

If this has been covered, I apologize but I tried to search for it first and didn't find anything.

[Disposable Heart]

Let's see:

Boker Trance
Leatherman
Sap/blackjack
1911 (usually has to ride in car while at work)
cellular (soon)
two pens, one space pen, other stainless steel pen
pocket comb
wallet (with ID, bobby pins, three safety pins, and hard steel "credit card" for doors)
wallet sized first aid kit in other butt pocket
AA LED flashlight in front pocket
Kabar TDI around neck (under shirt)
Tie (a must for any salesman, but makes a great turnicat, garrote or tie down for missus )
two spare mags

If wearing jacket or non-work, add the following:
Entrek Badger (awesome knife, though purists who want super steel don't like hard stainless)
bandanna/handkerchief
Small fiberglass dagger on ankle
two more mags if jacket (one in each pocket)

Get mugged a few times, tend to take personal safety a bit more serious. Funny thing is, when I worked at the range or AAC (when they were open), I carried less for some reason...

[Fletch]

Wallet
Leatherman Surge
keys, with nail clippers (can't live without my nail clippers -- hangnails drive me crazy)
Glock 30SF
sunglasses, usually of the shooting variety
Not pictured: iPhone 4, used to take the picture; iPad and laptop, which are not "every" day, just 95% of them; and I usually (but not always) have a Clif Builder's bar and bottle of water somewhere handy

 

[zombiehunter]

fletch: how do you like the surge? I had looked at getting one but was told it's a pretty hefty multitool for EDC and to get the wave instead.

phylodog: what is the thing in the middle with the paracord lanyard?

I wear it on my belt, and never notice it compared to my gun. I used to have either the Wave or the Kick, but I really love the Surge. It's a little heavier-duty (I've used it in a pinch on car repair when getting to my "real" tools was inconvenient, and it held up fine), and the arrangement of blades is perfect IMO. All blades/accessories lock, and the knives are all on the outside so you don't have to unfold it to get a blade out. I use the serrated blade for almost everything, and keep the non-serrated blade reserved for those instances where I need something razor-sharp.

I can't believe nobody else is sporting a flash drive! It's an invaluable tool to add to the arsenal.

 

[Blackhawk2001]

Wallet
Coin Carrier w/
Leatherman Juice S2
tweezers
nail clippers
space pen
Leather needle/regular needle/ 2 straight pins
eyeglass cleaning cloth

extra phone battery
Kershaw Junkyard Dog II
Leatherman pocket knife
Leatherman Wave
SureFire E2D
2 bandannas
2 G27 Spare mags
Palm Centro Cell phone

Last year, I started wearing a vest to work so I wouldn't have to worry about transferring my work ID, key card, pens, paper, etc. As so often happens, I started adding little stuff to it. Today it has:
A Gerber Boot Knife
3 pens, 1 pencil, 1 laser pointer (cat toy)
2 boxes of matches
1 box of mints
1 finger light
10 bandaids
1 hearing aid
1 Rite-In-The_Rain notebook
1 roll electrical tape
1 signal mirrow
2 rolls thread
1 Gerber Protean flashlight
1 Spare pair glasses
1 roll thin cord
1 silva compass
1 6' tape measure
1 diamond knife sharpener
1 magnesium fire starter

The least I carry, socially, is my EDC G27, my Leatherman pocket tool, my phone, one or two magazines, and a couple flashlights along with my coin carrier.

I've lost 2. Let me know if you find them.

I've lost at least that many. That's why I purchased that A-DATA flash drive with a zinc body, which attaches to a keychain with in integral carabiner. It's a bit tougher to lose.

Work Days:

Encrypted USB Key (trueCrypt, with all the readers in a clear partition)
Cell Phone

Pocket knife

Non work days, talk out the ID Card, datacenter keys, USB Key, and add a G17.

Worth mentioning the wallet is made of duct-tape, so in a pinch I always have a few pieces

If you searched on "EDC" you'd get nothing because the search engine doesn't index or allow searching on 3-letter or shorter words. So a search on LCR, LSP, SR9, TCP, NAA, etc. Wouldn't produce any results either.

The solution is to go to a search engine and search this domain specifically. For example if you went to Google and typed in "EDC site:ingunowners.com" you would get links to threads containing "EDC" (although Google's index of INGO isn't as up-to-date as the native search).

Carry on.
