Whoa Cuz, your EDC bag and contents is looking pretty good! The first thing that caught my eye was your pimped Military, I like it. Nice set up braddah. Aloha

Dang! That's quite a loadout. I wonder what I'd gotten myself into, as I'd just purchased a Fatboy from the BST... That's a great setup, though! Good to know that I can fit all my gear in there, no problems. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks. My work EDC is pretty constant, but I have the bad habit of sometimes adding too much to it. Some of the items shown were pocket items so not all items were in the bag. The Fatboy is a great little bag, and judging from your refined style it may suit you well. Good luck with it. For a better look at my carry, check out my recent pouch dump vid here.
Thank you very much for pouch dump video. It really helped. I'm still eagerly awaiting my Fatboy's arrival. Edited to Add: Oh yeah. And some stuff that I always recommend: super glue! - cause it fixes pretty much everything allergy medication antacid/anti-diarrhea tablets or chewables (Tums, Pepto Chewables, or the like) - these have come in handy on more than one occasion! Altoids Kit! - 'Cause they're fun. (Here's a link to my blog post with a list of stuff to choose from to build/start your kit!) Cheers!
Some good ideas there. I definitely need to do something with my empty Altoids tin. Thanks for sending me the link.

To be honest, I carried the SF on me for about a year as part of my work EDC. I never found it oversized until I started carrying my Quark Mini 123. I carried it this weekend while hiking through a dark lava tube. Kind of outdated in terms of features, but it's the most reliable light I own.
You've got my dream knife. Sage 2. Ug. I need that knife. Very nice additions. P.S. Love that blue. I need to get that.
Wow! Great gear and great pics! Welcome to the forum veeks62 - I can't wait to see what else you have to share with us.
Had to think hard before spending the money on it, but it is totally worth the price. Love the jimping at the tip! Thanks. Always wanted the Sage 2. Great EDC blade. Fit and finish on the Tenacious is excellent. We'll see how well the blade performs. Thanks so much. I just started buying gear for EDC a few months ago. This forum has really been helpful in showing me some quality gear options, as well as giving me ideas and tips for better carry management.
