Some of this may seem like over kill but my Boy Scout training has paid off in the form of $100 tips just for having what a client needs when they need it.

I think that’s about it but I just have it with me everyday so I don’t really think about it much until summer then I have to work to hide it a bit more…add to this what I have in my car and desk at work and you get the idea…:confused:

JPH out.

Aside from my keys, which are on an original US issue oval carabiner, which my 4 year old daughter is running around with at the moment, and my dog tags which are on my neck on a standard chain with a P38 and sheath made from 550 cord, this is the light version of what is usually stuffed in my slightly oversized tri-fold leather wallet and pockets.

In reviewing a lot of these posts I see no mention by a lot of QPs of their coin. I always carry a numbered Regimental Coin and a RICA Ranger coin at all times. Sounds like a lot of people could be buying the next round! :rolleyes: :munchin

Or they are working that same angle from the opposite direction, winding someone else up to check 'em at next opportunity, so they can grab a round for free ;) ..

Hmmm... could be! Speaking of coins, I picked one up today at A Co., 1st BN 19th SPG(A). The front of the coin has there standard stuff; however, the back has an outline of Afganistan with a color Afgan flag among other things as well as the words "Ground Hog Day." It's sort of an inside joke, as they said every day was Ground Hog day there. I'll post some pics of it when I get a chance. It is a nice looking coin. :munchin

Nice coin, one of my goals is to eventually add an A Co, 1/19th coin to my small collection.

You don't even want to know what is in my truck.

Lance, did you get a registration message where we ased you to follow some instructions before posting?

How about reading the rules stickied at the top of the forums?

You might want to go back and do that before posting again.

You are right and actually I do not care to ask about the information you decided to make smart aleck remarks about in your profile. We do not suffer fools lightly here, either fill out your profile correctly and follow the rules or hit the road in your truck.

I changed my EDC after reading the 'Be Prepared' thread.

My state sucks, and my campus is worse--tasers, airsoft guns, and even non-kitchen knives are explicitly banned. So a ballpoint pen is the closest I'm getting to a weapon. This kit has made it through several airport security checkpoints as-is for what it's worth.


550 cord in sturdy shoes (went out and bought some just so I could do this)
Ballpoint pen
three safety pins stuck through my waistband
swim goggles
bic lighter
Poncho(summer/spring)/Space Blanket (Fall/Winter)
Waterproof pouch (AquaPac AQP-644) in pants pocket Contents:
-pure water straw
-Keys, including Tool
-wallet with normal stuff (IDs, cash, condoms, band-aid etc) and a credit card tool.
-Roll of electrical tape
-Micro USB drive
-cellphone
-small tube of motrin (six tablets, left over from a prescription) + cotton ball
-ziplock bag with N95 mask + medical gloves

Rationale:
The swim goggles are for swimming, and possibly to pair with the N95 mask. I'm not sure how useful they actually are, but they take up almost nothing space-wise. Most locks can be opened with the safety pin (pick) and tool (tension).

Questions:
I'm not too worried about some whackjob deciding to stage a mass-casualty event in a lecture hall, though it has been known to happen; however, the possibility mixed with the general possibility of violent crime did lead me to think about buying a wound kit, though I decided against it because I lack medical training. What small items and action by an amateur could save lives in such an event?

Ideally, the tube would contain several single doses of assorted (legal) drugs for dealing with common problems. I couldn't come up with anything better than ibuprophen, and would like some advice from the medical folks.

My biggest overall worry would be an angry dog--I'm not confident in my ability to take one down with a ballpoint pen, so it would be a very serious problem. Any suggestions?

I know this is an old thread, but:::::

Kimber Custom TLE/RL II .45 cal
-Loaded w/ a Wilson Combat mag w/ Speer Gold Dot
-kept in a Galco IWB cut down holster
Extra Wilson mag w/ Gold Dot
Emerson Commander clipped in waistband
Wallet w/ badge, ID, Credit cards, Cash, etc
Vehicle Key w/ window punch
Blackjack PDA Cell phone
Pager
Chapstick

This thread had serious influence on my thinking.

Every day carry:

- Clip knife, one-hand opener w/half-serrated 3-inch blade
- Money clip w/card holder ($20-100, ID, CCW, 2 credit cards, ATM card, DOT card, library card, gun club card, grocery store discount card)
- BUG (except at work, it's against company policy :mad: )
- Cell phone
- Mini-flashlight (high-intensity, narrow-beam)
- Car keys
When traveling out of town (and not on the job)
- Colt Delta w/ 1 or 2 extra mags, depending on carry mode


Always have a small fanny-pack in the car nearby, or on me if away from the car for significant time/distance.
Various contents are sometimes on my person depending on circumstances.

Contents:
- Swiss army knife on a key 'biner (huntsman)
- Wide beam, low-intensity, high-endurance mini-flashlight
- Spare batteries for narrow-beam flashlight
- Lighter
- 3 square ft. t-shirt cotton
- 5 ft duct tape
- 16 GB Flash drive
- Key 'biner w/ various sets of keys
- Chewing gum
- Small notebook
- Pen

Thanks for the thread and ideas.
EDC will likely be an evolving process.

I am up in the DC area and always carry a charter arms .44 special. It is hammerless for the pocket and is a real nice emercency piece for the money. I must add that I am legal to carry this and will advise that to get rolled up and not be legal could sure cause some legal problems.

This might fall under the DADT thread
 

Girlfriends want to know if you are gay since you carry more crap than she does.

She also wants to know where the "Rosary" is, or can she borrow your bag sometime? Perhaps you two can sit beside each on your next flight in the event she needs an alcohol swab.

[QUOTE=Sigaba;367814]two 2 oz bottles of Purell


Redundancy! I like it.

Sure. As long as she

(a) stipulates that the POK LBC is a satchel, not a murse, and
(b) agrees not to ask to borrow any of my Aimee Mann CDs or my copy of The Good Wife, season 1.

Too funny!

Everyday carry ? While Iam Out Walking in the Street's
 

1.Wallet/containing Amex card, PA. Drivers License, DOD ID Card, Military Star card, CCW ID, $5 dollar gold coin, $50.00 bill.
2.Right Side IWB Mitch Rosen holster which supports a Les Baer .45 ACP/SRP(Swift Response Pistol) 5mags of .45 ACP + 1 in the well (3 230 gr. Remingtin ball) 3 230 gr. Remington Golden Saber JHP. I DO NOT HAVE A ROUND IN THE CHAMBER of the .45/ In my Right Hand jacket pocket I carry a .38 Colt Cobra with 6 rounds of 150 gr. Buffalo Bore Std. Pressure,low flash HVY .38 SPL (non +P) hard cast wad cutter, in my left jacket pocket is a HKS speedloader with 6 of the same cartridges. On my belt I carry a leatherman wave multi tool also have a Motorola Droid cell phone. When out walking I have my right hand grip the .38 with my index finger parallel to the frame....."When trouble comes upon you it happens in seconds; Police response time is between 5 to 8 minutes....Unless the call is for shots fired, then response time drops down to 3 to 5 minutes. A couple of lessons I learned in Vietnam are 1.DON'T RUN OUT OF AMMUNITION and DON'T EVER DEPEND ON ANYBODY FOR ANYTHING AND YOU WILL NEVER BE DISAPPOINTED...Regard's....TK

- iPhone 4
- Either the Springfield XD-45 or the Ruger LCP, depending on clothing and my mood.
- Leatherman Wave with the $5 pocket clip from the factory, can't stand belt carriers. If you order one, order 3. They're very durable but I broke one, and friends and family have begged me for my spares.
- Torch-style pocket lighter (for firestarting, don't smoke)
- Keychain with keys, a few bump keys, a keychain pen, and a mini SAK, and a superbright LED light
- 8-10 plain index cards (for jotting down ideas & to do's on the go, typing into a tiny iPhone 4 sucks)
- Jeans + Dockers leather belt. Used to wear 5.11 and such but got looks from LEOs and criminals, so stopped.
- Shirt + fleece or TNF wind/rain jacket

Everything goes in pockets, so I blend in and don't look like batman. Each item goes in the same pocket every day.

If I have my backpack with me, which I often do:

- A few lightweight books (survival guide + something to kill boredom
- Garmin 60csx (or whatever it is, that awesome one)
- An extra ammomag or few
- An iPad.
- A Macbook Pro & assorted cables
- The Leatherman Wave bit driver set
- A couple USB memory keys, one with crypto and security tools
- A few cheapo carabiners, and one good climbing one
- 25' of 550 cord
- Basic civilian medical supplies (ointment, ibuprof, acetaminophen, immodium, benadryl, sudafed, dramamine, bandages, etc). I use this quite often to medicate coworkers and family in a pinch. All of this fits into an old little plastic USAF first aid box about the size of a single serve cereal box.
- An Altoids tin survival kit (fishing junk, fishing line, vaseline soaked cotton, compass, whistle, exactos, water tabs, etc etc)
- water container (metal bottle you buy at the store)
- Long-lasting trail bars
- Mylar emergency blanket
- A Marmot Ion windshirt (a model from before they got bad) jammed up into a tiny ball
- steno pad + pens and pencils (for jotting down ideas or "whiteboarding" for others)

I'll probably catch crap for the big lists, but I manage to stay well within Sheeple territory.

When out on the town
My department issued sidearm Smith & Wesson M&P .45
2 spare Pistol Mags
Handcuffs
Surefire Backup Light
SOG Multitool
CRKT M16-14LE Knife
Work ID/Credentials and personal wallet with random cards ID inside

I have a London Bridge Trading LBT-1652A Backpack that I keep in the trunk as sort of a bug-out-bag. Inside it I have:
Camelbak 100 OZ Resorvoir full of filtered water (changed/cleaned every couple weeks) Water purification tablets
Medical Kit containing basic med supplies plus quickclot gauze, chest seal, cpr mask, burn gel, SOF Tourniquet and some other random stuff.
2 MRE's
Box of Cliff Bars
Nalgene bottle with LED equipped cap
Surefire 6P Defender and 12 Extra Batteries
Surefire Helmet Light mounted on an EOTAC Operators hat
Black Diamond Headlamp
8 Chem lights (2-red, 2-green, 2-blue, 2-IR)
Extra battery for my police radio
Frog Toggs Rain gear
TAD Gear Ranger Hoodie
6 packs of Hand Warmers
3 pair of socks in a waterproof bag
1 Pair of Nomex Flight Gloves
Fleece watch cap
Sig P229 with 2 extra mags
8 Magpul PMAGS loaded with duty .223 Ammo
Garmin GPS
Solar charger with multiple adapters
Pistol and rifle cleaning kit, Extra bolt assembly for my issued M-4

There's probably more stuff in there but this is what I can think of at the moment. I transfer the bug out bag from my POV to my patrol car when I'm working. It's my "active shooter" bag when on-duty. When working I sign out a PVS 14 and keep that in my bag as well.

Explosive vest works for me

Have you tried the Marcona almonds? :cool:

If not, I respectfully recommend buying at least two cans.;)
