Every Day Carry

[Peteo]

Hello,

Just thought i'd share my every day carry.



Would love it if everyone could share their EDC or everything they have on them today.

Thank you

[Shewie]

My EDC is about as far removed from bushcraft as possible unfortunately ...

Laptop
Various cables and PCMCIA cards
USB memory sticks
Stanley multi bit screwdriver
Snips
Cable ties
Inova microlight torch

[Peteo]

Does not have to be bushcrafty- mine's not really just items that help out each day.

Any one else want to share ?

Your photo doesn't appear for me, not sure why.

Edited to add: Ah, its because it is hosted on Facebook and my browser blocks all things Facebook.

"...Does not have to be bushcrafty..."

In my 'bumbag':

A shemagh (or 2), a tennis ball, a small pink plastic spade, some chalk, string (various), a couple of balloons, a notebook and some pens and pencils, an apple or a banana, a childs sun hat, a childs raincoat, a 'disposable' poncho, a first aid kit in a small metal M&S mints box, a nappy (diaper), some polythene bags, a hat (for me), a wallet, a small head torch, wallet, mobile phone and a karabiner with a couple of tools and some keys attached.

On my belt:

A leatherman crunch or wave, a small slipjoint penknife and a small Olympus camera.

In my pockets:

Notepad, pencil, string, handkerchiefs.

Not particularly bushcrafty most of it is part of my day to day child support and entertainment pack.

I can only upload through facebook i'm afraid.. thank you for sharing. Just interested in what people carry

[pauljm116]

Im carrying a pocket full of keys/keyrings containing:

A leatherman squirt PS4
Tick key tick remover (its that time of year again)
Uncle bills sliver grippers
A nappy pin and a safety pin
Fenix E01 torch
Exotac nanostriker
Nite glowring (comes in very handy if I drop my keys in the dark)
A bushkey (courtesy of FGYT)
and finally some keys
Sounds bulky but its not too bad and everything gets used.

Also carrying wallet, phone and Enzo PK70.

Thought I'd join in. Three posts in months and months isn't quite enough


Amongst my normal rubbish I usually have the following. I've ignored some very dull things and highlighted anything that may actually be useful.

In my pockets:
Mobile, wallet, keys.
Amongst the normal stuff keyrings and wallets contain I also have a mini magnifier (credit card size), fluid lighter (small o-ring sealed so it's always usable).

I usually also carry a Berghaus bag (to and from work, etc) - this has all sorts of tat in it, but that includes:
A waterproof poncho thing (cheap thing in a zip lock bag),
disposable lighter,
tiny firesteel with striker bundled with some waxed paper,
Swiss army knife (huntsman I think),
torch.

Most of this is obviously used day-to-day for not very exciting tasks - lighters, knife, waterproof poncho is in case I walk somewhere with no coat and get caught out, etc.

Cash, card, keys, button compass phone, no knives or blades, no need for them for 99.9% of people.

[Nohoval_Turrets]

Based on the photo above, I've now copied your house keys. Now all I have to do is try them in every house in Wales until one works. The perfect crime.

Can't blame you for trying, but good luck- both keys are for work

[Nohoval_Turrets]

Blast! Oh you're a canny one...

[resnikov]

I will continue to get that one in to, for me its plain stupidity to carry a blade, why carry one, peel your apple

If your a tradesman you will keep your tools in a tool kit, no need to have a blade on you. For one thing it gives police something to moan about and while you may be sensible, the people who take the blade off you may not be and I don't care if your a cross between Bruce Lee and the incredible hulk anyone can get decked.


Just my view.

Just my view.

I carry a blade for work and the owners other half is a solicitor and it is perfectly legal. I do not need a full tool kit when all i use a tool for is opening deliveries and odd DIY jobs. When i used to work on site with a full tool kit i never used a knife, no need when building. I must be in the 0.1% population as I need a knife or some sort of sharp and strong edged tool.

Thank you all for sharing!

1. wallet
2. bandana

"...Floppy Disc Drive and ribbon cable...Hard Floppy disc Case with my 2 floppy discs in..."

Floppy discs? Do you just like the 'old school' feel of them or is there a more subtle reason for using floppies, just interested. I came across a pack of them in the back room the other day and was quite entertained by the find.

Just had a thought - any thread on EDCs on our sister site in the US would be full of the relative merits of 357 magnums versus 9 or 10mms

I think a few BCUK members could speak on the merits of eating Magnums....

[rik_uk3]

My favorite magnum these days would be Veuve Clicquot
