alright so im in the middle of trying to optimize the things i carry daily. somethings i need to start carrying and somethings i am removing from my pockets, as i am considering creating a edc organizer like a maxpedition pouch and leaving that in my car or toolbox (if im at work) and not carrying that every single place i go. then making a GHB to leave in the trunk or backseat of what ever vehicle im driving that day.
so, currently (on my person) i have.
- my SCCY CPX-2. loaded and chambered
- IWB holster
- Keys w/ cheap carabiner
- small single blade old timer
- 2 inch kershaw assisted open (not sure the exact model)
- wallet (check book looking one, slim and tall)
- cell phone, i phone 5s
- glasses and wedding ring
- fairly often i have a small pouch with a cigar or two, cutter, and a lighter. not always and it isnt something i turn the car around for just something i take from time to time.
i do not carry i huge pocket knife, and i dont understand why some people carry 5 plus blades on them
i was looking for a nice small flashlight to pocket carry but my phone has a pretty decent light and i just assume put it in my edc pouch, so im still open to any suggestions about a nice pen style flashlight (or equal). i never carried a pen or a compass for mainly the same reason... i could do all that with my phone, But... now im thinking it wold be nice to have a back up and it annoying having to look for a pen all the time if i have to sign something or write something down while im on the phone. so i shopped around and found a great deal on a fisher space pen. any feedback on those?
i recently ordered a citizen drive watch with a compass on the band also... so i have a back up clock and techinically 2 back up compass' as i can use the hands of the watch to navigate is all else fails.
so, is there anything else you guys would suggest for edc items that i carry in my pockets, something i should change? i hate having kangaroo pockets and dont wear cargo pants, just normal jeans. so i like keeping it simple or having a few item that are very multi use.
