What is the weight of your EDC?

[Sylvain]

Today's question is simple:

What is the weight of all your EDC (EDC= all the crap you carry on your person that make other people think you're a big weirdo because you're way too much prepared but still those people ask you for stuff all the time from flashlight to bandaid )?

Last night I weighed the stuff I had in my pockets after I got back from a short walk.
Just around 900 grams (31.7 ounces or 2 pounds).
I didn't have much on, not even a wallet (I dont keep my CCW badge in my wallet, it's usually on my belt).

So what's the weight of all the stuff you had on you today?

Gun, spare mags, knife, wallet, keys, flashlight, cellphone ... those things get heavy once you add everything.

To your kitchen scales INGO members!

Yeah but if you OC it you will get plenty of MWS calls.

Preaching to the choir sir. My BUS(back up sledge) really sucks. It's a 3lb strapped to my ankle, very difficult to run

I have a 20lb spare tire I haul around "just in case".

I'm about 3# lighter since the reduction surgery. I saw where some dude just had a 140# scrotum remove and was upset cause he only had an inch left.

It was a joke fellas.

If I'm at work, typically about 3 lbs of crap, plus a backpack full of stuff. If I'm not working, take out the backpack.

Ccw badge?

XGF used to call me the hardware store. My jeans run about 9lb, plus about 3 more for the doublestack .45 CC. Don't carry any tupperware.

I am thinking about switching to a framing hammer since it is getting hotter outside

I think a collaspible sledge hammer could be the solution for summer carry.
Great for ankle carry.

Did not know about these, would they be considered a tactical sledge and do I need a special permit or anything for it?

 

[logain]

Why?

Why?

Looks just like a Sheriff badge, pretty cool and real shiny as well.
