Everyday Carry

[CardShark]

There's a chance that this could go slightly off topic here but I thought I'd post this up after reading through a thread on TZ, this could be another site to blame for the emptying of wallets Not just watches but knives, pens, torches and handguns as well!

Scroll down to the Seiko pictured towards the end of the front page and click on the watch link, some rather well chosen wristwear methinks considering the theme of the site.

Linky - Everyday Carry

[Importr]

That is actually quite an interesting thread! I'm always quite curious about what gear people use and carry on a regular basis. The editor has some very constructive feedback too.

So....who here will offer the first pic? I would, but my phone would be used for the pic itself, unless I borrow a camera....

-wallet
-keys (on key fob with USB stick and a CPR vomit protector)
-car hifi security panel (unless I'm not going by car!)
-work phone (Fred Flintstone's Nokia)
-personal phone (HTC Tytn)
-watch
-3ft inflatable penguin.

Hoofy, I think you've taken the 'Be Prepared' Scouts motto too far ...

You'll laugh on the other side of your face when we're hit by a freak tsunami and I'm happily bobbing along with my friendly penguin.

For me today -

- Unbranded leather folding wallet - will be looking for something slimmer/smaller after reading through the EDC site
- HTC mobile - thankfully I can leave my (Flintstones MkII) work mobile at work!
- Nano - to be plugged into the car stereo
- Keys - car with alarm fob, house and garden gate padlock key, I'm not working today so I've taken my work locker keys off.
- Watch of the day, Ball Engineer Hydrocarbon - date still to be set properly



Hate carrying excess stuff with me!

O M F G!
Either we Brits are seriously unprepared for Armageddon, or those Yanks (Ache in particular) are extremely paranoid!

I imagine that guy to have a pistol under the pillow, and a tactical light for when CoD becomes reality?

[S6 Devil]

Spectacles, testicles, watch and wallet for me!

Still, some lovely bits of kit

That is utterly rediculous!

I'm taking the lack of any wedding rings in those pictures as a sure sign of the sort of nerds those chaps are.

Farkin' hell, that's a hell of a load-out there Billy Bob, that must be your DEFCON 1 LEVEL - III E.C. v.4D, obviously this isn't the 'going through airports' EDC...

This is more to do with finding the 'best' bits of kit really isn't it? And he's got some good bits there for sure, but this is obviously an interest that has grown arms and legs - it's like wearing a normal mechanical on one wrist and an ABC on the other with a pocket watch in you BatBelt.

His dosh though I suppose!

[jimmyjimjim]

I genuinely expected to see several pistols and rifles in the final setion of his write up. Mildly disappointed now...

[Hoofy]

Well, he doesn't seem prepared for a tsunami, the amateur. I wouldn't leave home without my 3ft inflatable penguin.

[CardShark]

I guess I should pack something inflatable considering, dependent on source of information, I live in the county with the longest coastline in England

I can't see this guy's stuff, how far into the site is it? Or should I include some specs in my EDC...?

Ache's stuff is about the 9th post. You can't miss it. He categorises it into 4 groups of kit depending on the situation.
