Check out Uncle Mike's reinforced pistol/holster belt. Dressy looks, has a polymer liner that really stiffens things up. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

I carry my CRKT M16, Shasta , SAK Trekker, Stag Boker camp knife. I switch knives daily. I also carry my Wave. I carry my Spyderco Spyderfly in a horizontal sheath on my belt on the small of the back, right hand draw, oncein a while.

In the Forest Preserves, when doing my survey work I carry my SY DM, the Frost Mora is my canoe knife, Mandu or even the FBM when deeper in the woods in the rig RW made.

Glad its already getting some action <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> It definitely deserves to get out and play

If you ever fall in the water Andy you are going to sink like a stone.

My current favourite EDC is very similar to Reconseed's. I have my Swarden in an On Scene Tactical neck sheath or my newest Strider(WP I think) stuck in my pocket.
The new Strider is between the Swarden and SS4 in size and has a nice recurve.

I don't usually carry a folder but when I do it is either the Police serrated or the Chinook3. My light is awesome. It is a Stainless Ultrafire cree C6 and it only takes one CD123 cell but throws a beam like a 4 D maglight. It is good enough to retire my fenix lights to house duty.

I also often carry a zippo. I have a smaller black one or a normal sized stainless
that matches the Cree light and SS Police perfectly. It also has "&%$# Communism" engraved on it. John Wayne gave Zippos like that out to the troops when he toured Vietnam but I got the idea from the Preacher comic and had it engraved.

Casio Gshock watch and occasionally when I want a cell phone or tunes my Samsung M620. It is a phone on one side and media player on the other. I sprung for good senninhieser headphones for on the bike. They block out all other noise which is much needed. I don't really use the cell much. I don't even know the number off by heart.

Love the topic Reconseed. As a city guy, I've given this topic much thought. I try to keep things simple. I prefer small, light concealable fixed blades over folders and pistols that allow good first shot accuracy and quick follow up shots.

Here's what a carry:

Pistol:

Glock 26 in a CompTac Pro Undercover holster worn behind the hip on right side. Depending on temeratures outside, and the need to wear lighter clothing, I might substitute a Kel-Tec P11 in the same model holster. I shoot these guns shoot well and both are extremely reliable.

Knife:

God, here the choices become overwhelming. My son will be a luck guy when I migrate to the other side of the grass. I like to carry my knives in a horizontal, cross draw position and IWB if possible. Most of the fixed blades I carry regulary can be carried this was. These include the Brock Combat Options, Dozier NY Special, Dozier Agent, Dan Koster's Karda or Tusk and the Swamp Warden. All of these knives are small, light and flat. I guess that's why I like them. I alco carry a Spyderco Li'l Temperance, depending on my ability to conceal a fixed blade.

Watch:

I have been wearing a new stainless steel Citizens Eco-Zilla. What my knives may lack in weight is made up for by the Zilla. I alternate this watch with a Seiko Black Monster and ocassionally a Casio model.

Flashlight:

Well, I dont need one because my wife won't let me out after dark.

I keep an endura wave clipped in my right pocket, Salt 1 left pocket, cell phone and Pelican M1 in my left pocket, keys in right pocket.

At work I add my company Nextell 2:00 on belt, and I keep my badge, 2 pencils, a pen, a drafting eraser, and some paperclips around my neck on a break-cord. I can't stand my productivity being held up while I look for a writing utensil.

I have a stash of things in my car and a bag I take to work. The bag has a few days worth of food and drinks(I eat it at work and restock when I get home), cold gear, rain gear, extra pencils, multi-tool. Right now I keep it stocked with 2 or 3 Musclemilk RTD Mocha, 2 New-whey 42g protein shots, 2 zero impact protein bars, 2 OS trim meat sticks, 2 GNU foods flavor and fiber bars, 3 Greens+ Chia energy bars, A 1 lb jar of Greens+ Chia seeds, a jar of instant coffee, and I usually have at least 1 of either Redline, EndoRush, or something like the Sobe Adrenalin Rush. I have them all the time, but I usually have something extra for variety. That puts me at around 6000 calories all the time, which would get me by for about 2.5 days normally but would be more than enough to stretch out for 4 days with plenty of protien and fiber to keep me relatively comfortable if I got stranded with it. If I could get home all I would need to do is dump it in my BOB and I'd be set. That keeps it all fresh and rotated all the time.

Pistols, I prefer my Glock 35 in a paddle Blackhawk with the Serpa Lock. When I can't pull that off, I'll drop down to either a 17 or 33 in a blade-tech IWB. If I need to go even lighter, I have a Kahr PM-9 but IMO its no match for any Glock in performance. But it conceals much easier and as long as I stick to quality brass cases, to feeds flawlessly. Its a lot harder for me to shoot accurately or quickly. If you have small hands it might me a lot easier for you. It chokes horrendously on steel-cased ammo(which the glocks eat just like everything else).

my city rig is...
my kershaw scallion clipped on my right pocket...
or possibly a blur instead...
which I would carry tip up if I could get those TINY screws out!

so just one knife.
maybe an ipod.
nothing more.

EMF, at the very least you should consider a small flashlight. The smallest amount of light can get you out of a whole lot of trouble.

I'm never in trouble.
<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
and never really within walking distance from my house...
so... I don't have much need for it all.
plus I'm only 15, when I get older I plan on carrying alot more.

you'll be driving soon then, and then you'll need a flashlight <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> I used to carry a few Photons on a carabiner on my belt loop. I had one on my keys too, but it wouldn't have done me any good if I dropped my keys and had to look for them. Even in a large building in the daytime if the power went out you could be in complete darkness and unfamiliar surroundings. maybe even other panicking people. People are crazy. You never know what they'll do when they are forced out of their comfort zone.
