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?

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 )
- 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.
