Great looking kit! Lots of stuff to keep you busy if you're waiting, too.

And hey, that office looks pretty clean in the 2nd pic! :coolsmiley:

Why do you carry a WiFi detector? Cant you just sniff for an open WiFi connection off your PDA?

That particular WiFi detector is fairly good at directional detecting. We have used it to track down defective equpment(which saved us from much mucking about in cielings, walls, etc...), as well as unauthorized equipment. That and the large array of blinking lights always seems to impress a certain segment of the population :p

Do you wear the leg strap on the Thermite?

I used the Thermite as a waist bag at first, and yes, I did use the leg strap which moderated the flopping around bit when moving at speed quite nicely. As the bag began to accumulate more and more goodies I found that it had a tendency to cause one's pants to creep wonwards and as I am not overly fond of suspenders I decided to start using the Thermite as a shoulder bag (using the leg strap to lengthen the strap a bit.

I need to get new images up as I have modified my EDC quite a bit.

I've tried a number of times to wear mine on the hip but it gets in the way if I do anything other than stand. It's particularly cumbersome on public transport. I guess I'm just used to stuff behind me like a fanny pack or backpack but on the side I'm like a bull in the china shop.
