This idea isn't original to me. Nutnfancy does this to fans when they approach him in public. Basically, he checks them to see if they're carrying the essentials.

Therefore, lets see what you're carrying when you read this!

Here's my EDC pocket dump ....






+ RFID protected wallet
+ Streamlight flashlight
+ Les Baer 45Acp with (2) reloads
+ Spyderco PM2
+ Keys

I didnt' take my holster off my belt. Its a Desantis MadMax (poor man's Milt Sparks VersaMax 2....in fact I sold my VM2 when I bought the MadMax because the Desantis was more comfortable).

That is a nice looking holster. IF I had seen that I probably wouldn't have gotten my VM2. Then again hardly anyone had a holster for the Sig P239. Oh well it's water under the bridge.

MY "Loadout" consists of
SCCY 9mm with a 10 round reload, sometimes 2(usually, unless I am belt carry then it will be my Ruger 45 Commander length.

1 Maratac AAA in my pocket all the time, and a Fenix single AA in my Murse.

Emerson Mini CQC15 for HOPEFULLY never needed Social work
Spyderco Alycone, my Sheeple blade (and sometimes the Tenacious as well), And a Marciada/Bastenelli Pika K-bit around my neck.

Vehicle keys

Mandatory Man Bag, for medical necessitates plus some other items I just like having on hand, Phone charger and cord, pen paper Check book debit card etc. (think a woman's purse but stocked for a man)

Oh and my fidget spinner. It's a small one though

I have a man purse too, but I don't carry it into the grocery / on my person ... its really a "from the house to the vehicle ... from the vehicle back to the house" bag.

That's probably another topic for another thread... "Whats in your Possibles Bag?".

There are some times where I just grab the checkbook (doubles as a wallet for me) and leave my bag in the vehicle. BUT I usually carry my CCW in the bag and don't like leaving it in the car and being without it (you can call me Linus with an attitude).

Hey Arch, how do you like the PM2? I've heard it's a good one just wasn't sure if I wanted to fork out the bucks considering how enamored I am with my Emerson CQC15, the Mini. Yeah I know lots of folks don't like emerson but I've never had a complaint with any of his products and I have 10 of them. Oh well to each his own. I am about to order a Spiderco CAT. I think it will be a good little Sheeple blade to go with either my Alcyone or Tenacious. Don't worry though, the Emerson will still be in or clipped to my pocket for those times when there is a breakdown of social attitudes and a firearm can't be carried.

I like the PM2. Typical Spyderco quality, but I would prefer a lock back.

A lock back, really? I thought a lock back would be more prone to fail let the blade close on your hand.

My Cold Steel XL Voyager goes everywhere with me.

I have one of those Vaquero Grande (I think) Serpentine blades that is fully serrated. It came as a freebee with something I ordered somewhere.

That was a nice freebie!

Yeah it is. It has a 6 inch fully serrated blade if my memory serves me right.

OK, I have finally (I think) settled on the items I'll be carrying in my Jumbo Maxped. So far I have

24oz insulated SS water bottle. I wanted a 32oz but can't find one locally. Oh well, this one works. It is not only for drinking water, but for wetting the Cooling Towel I carry for Patty (she literally does not sweat) in case she starts getting to hot.

The aforementioned Cooling Towel

"Emergency" meds. Tylenol, Tums, Meclizine(Dizzy pill, she has Vertigo a lot), Odansetron (generic Zofran, strong anti- nausea medicine), Benadryl, Ibuprofen. This handles most of our "Crisis" situations.

Epi Pen (Her throat will just start swelling shut). Usually Benadryl will take care of it, but if not...

6 individual bags of instant coffee (Sorry Ray) splenda mixed together.

Glucose meter, lancets and lancet holder for the both of us

Lip balm

Bandana

Half a dozen Throat lozenges

Small bottle of hand sanitizer (Germ X)

Ink pin and small note pad

Checkbook that doubles as my wallet

Tweezers

Metal Tooth pick

Spare keys for vehicle and house

A Sacajawea dollar coin Patty gave me in Dec 1999, a month before they were supposed to come out.

Two chargers and cords for iPhone/iPad

Leatherman Wave Multitool

8 foot tape measure (used more than you would think)

Titanium spoon, fork, knife.

Fenix 1AA flashlight (I always have a Maratac 1AAA light in my pocket.

And actually in my pocket on one side I carry my Spyderco PM2 (which has taken the place of my beloved Emerson) and in the other pocket I carry a Spyderco Tenacious or Alcyone (that may change to a Para 3 before long though) as my Sheeple blade. Oh and I also have the Spyderco CAT always inside my pocket, not clipped to it. That is such a sweet little blade to "Play" with.

Plus a couple personal items I have to keep with me all the time.

All that in the various pouches on the outside, and the main compartment isn't even half full. I had everything but 2 chargers/cords, the coffee, the cooling towel and the insulated thermos in my fatboy but it was FULL! The Jumbo just makes carrying everything less crowded and it actually seems easier to carry.

Emerson fixed blade Karambit or my Schrade model SCH111 Karambit.

Oh and I switched out the SCCY 9mm the other day for my Ruger LC9 with integral laser sight and 2 spare mags.

I know, but believe it or not I have used most everything in the bag on more than one occasion so I consider it weight well carried.
