I would go nuts carrying all that stuff.
I could'nt even carry my leatherman surge comfortably all day.
but I don't like my knives too comfy, I lose my meadolark everytime I carry it!
it's so comfy I don't know it's even their .. than later I don't know where it is at all!

I feel under equipped without it! I need all that stuff and use most of it daily.

I posted this a while back of my EDC items in my pants. Only thing that has changed are the knives. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> Oh, I also started carrying the Maglite in my bag instead of my belt.

You are obviously quite well prepared, Mr. Wayne. For everything from financial crises, to armed insurrection and unplanned romantic engagements.

(I'm smiling. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Are you smiling?)

Have you joined the flashlight uprising and switched over to all LEDs? I've got a 1-watt 2AA Mag over here. LEDs didn't impress me much back when they first started pushing the things for flashlights, but now all our lights have LEDs in them. The smoothness of the output, their durability, and the run time just blows me away. We've got one with a 5 watt bulb and that thing is supremely intense.

Yeah. My Maglite is a 3 watt 2xAA LED. I also have another 3 Watt 3xAA, and a Brinkman 3xAAA 3 watt, and a bunch of dimmer ones as well.

Big knives in belt and an extra in/on pack. Usally FBM and/or DFLE
Folder in pocket (only have one folder that I use)
Midsized knife on thigh rig or combatvest, a Sussupukko M95 (if you call it midsized?)
Machetes on pack or belt
Sometimes a 30" HI khukuri on my back <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Sometimes I canīt decide which knife to bring so I take my favorites

First off, nice feet Unsub. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Secondly, Andy, that's a lot of stuff! I used to carry what I now think is too much, but it was never close to that amount of weight unless I was out hunting.

About all I carry now is my truck keys and a Leatherman Wave on my belt. My wallet and house keys reside in my lunch cooler all day at work, and my lower back thanks me for it.


Dirty, wet, and unprotected. \m/

I can't vote. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />




Because I do all three.... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I carry by Pocket, Pocket clip, Neck and Belt... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/paperbag.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

And I don't really have a favorite way, as long as I can carry what I need to carry, and can access it without too much trouble. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Also, a few decent cigars! Today, a Padron Serie 1926, a La Aurora 100 Aņos, and a God of Fire (Don Carlos).

Wow Andy...that is some comprehensive gear...put in a survival straw to purify water for drinking and your ready for any EOTW situation. Nice compact pistol...it looks like a Detonics....what is it ?

If we carried those as EDC's over here it could mean a long visit to Quantamino Bay!!LoL!

If I was doing a BG job in a third world country I might carry that much but probably more mags and not so many knives....what is it like to run with it all?

Anyway...very impressive photo...I am chuckling away imagining you having to put all metal objects into a small box to pass through a metal detector...the guards eyes would be out on stalks!

Mostly I carry a BRKT Highland in my pocket with Mikro Canadian in a Maxpedition M-2 belt pouch. Of course my Mutt or a Helle Harding is in my Maxpedition Jumbo man-bag that stays in my vehicle. Glock 19 usually on my hip as well.
