Everyday Carry (EDC)

[Pretend To Imagine]

I recently switched from a VP9 with SRO and X300U to a Glock 45 COA with a TLR7 HLX. Tenicor belt and holster. Phlster mag pouch with a 19 round mag. Gold dot HPs. Surefire Turbo handheld. Milwaukee razor knife/ screwdriver combo.

Late rate me if already posted. I didn't see it.


For real though, it's summer time so summertime EDC

• Jetbeam or Thrunite single AA flashlight
• an old Leatherman that I got at a thrift store
• Smith and Wesson CSX E-series

+ obvious phone, keys, wallet
This is my I don't leave home without it EDC, obviously depending on the situation and how long I'm going to be gone I may carry more. For instance if I'm out with my children I have a goofy old conference swag fanny pack that has a fairly comprehensive lightweight first aid kit in it, spare battery for my flashlight, compact phone power bank, and a little extra space to stand in for mom's purse.

There's always a mid size first aid kit and a fire extinguisher in my cars. The car EDC tupperwares I have are probably worth describing too since you really should have this stuff in your car, from memory:

• Quality and long (15ft I think) jumper cables
• compact 12V air compressor
• tire plug kit
• assorted zip ties
• compact metric socket set (all common sizes for the car)
• common wrenches (all common sizes for the car)
• spare fuses
• extra thick nitrile gloves
• safety glasses
• magnet light
• spare common relays (depends on the car)
• road flares
• 1qt oil
• spare serpentine/v belts
• folding wheel chock
• old bath towel
• hand sanitizer
• black sharpie
• roll of steel wire
• paracord
• roll of those thick blue paper towels
• 1gal coolant

All of that but the coolant jug and blue paper towels fit crammed into a fairly small wal-mart tupperware. In my older cars I also have spare radiator hoses and a fuel pump because those are the only two easily replaceable things that have ever stranded me.
