Hi guys, found the forums a week or so ago and like what I see! Keep up the good work everyone.
My EDC is as follows (see pic), in order of location on my person:
(front right pocket)
1. "unbreakable" comb
2. Leatherman Squirt S4
(front left pocket)
3. Albuterol inhalor <note 1>
4. Zippo plain-finish lighter <note 2>
(back left pocket)
5. Generic leather wallet. "Average citizen" contents
(back right pocket)
6. Handkerchief (sometimes two)
(left cargo pocket)
7. HP iPAQ h4155, carried in custom-made velcro pouch with velcro belt loop <note 3>
(right cargo pocket)
8. Blackberry 7750 <note 4>
(belt)
9. Keys on Lucky Secure-A-Key clip
10. Work badge <note 4>
11. Leatherman e306x with original pouch
11a. McFeely's PocketWrench II, carried in same pouch as e306x
12. Leatherman Charge Ti carried in LM Wave nylon pouch <note 5>
12a. Zebra collapsable pen, carried in same pouch as Charge
12b. Leatherman Bit Kit, carried in same pouch as Charge <note 6>
13. Yaesu VX-1R <note 7>
14. Motorola V3c RAZR (not pictured), carried in MOBO magnetic-seal pouch (pictured)
(on face :) )
14. Ray-ban P sunglasses. 100% UV protection and polarization to reduce glare
(on wrist)
15. Timex Triathlon full-function digital watch with metal band
(on keys)
9a. Inova Microlight
9b. Tornado whistle
9c. Speedpass
Notes:
<1> Carried only as needed
<2> Carried only if traveling out of city
<3> The best iPAQ ever made in my opinion. Supports WiFi and Bluetooth
<4> Carried to work and when I am on-call. Left behind any other time
<5> Pouch has been modified to black out the bright yellow "LEATHERMAN" text
<6> The bits from this bit kit fit both the Charge and the e306x knife
<7> Carried only when traveling. I also have another VX-1R programmed identically stored in the car for use by my wife when needed
Wishlist:
1. S30V PryBaby
2. SwissTech Utili-Key
3. Suunto Clipper for watchband
4. Suunto Micro for jacket zipper pull
5. Ring Thing (bottle opener ring)
6. Arc-AAA LED light
Further notes:
I apologize for the poor quality of the pictures, my phone camera is the only digital camera available to me. Speaking of the phone, in addition to my voice plan, I also have a broadband wireless internet plan, which allows me to connect my iPAQ to my phone via Bluetooth pretty much anywhere in the country where there is 1X service.
I'll probably be picking up the items on my wishlist over the next month, to round out my urban EDC. I also have a car kit that lives in my trunk, which has a full first aid kit as well as various medications.
As you can see, I'm quite overzealous when it comes to taking inventory of my items. I also make sure to keep everything well-maintained and shiny. Because of this, people seem to hesitate less to approach me for help fixing various things. (The on-going joke at work is "got a knife? I know who DOES!") ::)
