THE FIRST AND MOST IMPORTANT THING I CARRY EVERY SINGLE DAY IS MY GUN, BECAUSE YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN A TERRORIST NAZI COMMUNIST NIGGER MIGHT TRY TO RAPE/MUG/KILL ME!
THE SECOND IS MY CELL PHONE SO THAT I CAN ALWAYS CHECK FOR TEXT AND PHONE MESSAGES THAT I NEVER GET
THE NEXT IS MY MP3 PLAYER, EVEN THOUGH MY PHONE ALSO HAS MP3 CAPABILITY, BUT IT LOOKS COOL!
THE NEXT IS MY PDA, BECAUSE WITH MY BUSY SCHEDULE OF BROWSING 4CHAN AND FAPPING TO PORN IT'S HARD TO KEEP TRACK OF ALL THE OTHER THINGS THAT NEED TO GET DONE
THE THIRD IS MY LIGHTER, EVEN THOUGH I USUALLY DON'T HAVE ANY CIGARETTES IN THE PICTURE. I TRY TO DO TRICKS WITH IT TO IMPRESS PEOPLE BUT I USUALLY END UP FAILING, AND PEOPLE LAUGH AWKWARDLY WHILE TRYING TO SAY THAT I DID OK.
NEXT I CARRY ANOTHER LIGHTER, JUST IN CASE MY OTHER ONE IS DAMAGED IN MY SHOOTOUT WITH THE ENEMY!
NEXT I CARRY A WATCH WITH 200 DIFFERENT FEATURES, 197 OF WHICH I NEVER USE.
NEXT I CARRY A BUNCH OF KEYS. A BUNCH. MOST ARE TO PADLOCKS I BOUGHT AND HAVE IN A TRUNK THAT'S LOCKED WITH A PADLOCK. IT MAKES ME LOOK IMPORTANT TO HAVE A LOT OF KEYS, THOUGH.
NEXT IS MY 50 MILLION CANDLEPOWER ELITE TACTICAL TOTALLY USED BY THE SEALS TACTICAL OPERATIONS FLASHLIGHT, FOR PLAYING WITH MY CAT.
NEXT IS MY WALLET, WHICH CONTAINS MORE MONEY THAN I ACTUALLY NEED IN CASH, BUT IT LOOKS COOL WHEN I HAVE ALL DAT PAPER. ALSO, LOOK I JUST HAPPENED TO HAVE MY ID SHOWING. I'M SO COOL TO HAVE "ACCIDENTALLY" PUT MY PICTURE ON THE INTERNET.
NEXT IS MY FOLDING TACTICAL 2.5" KNIFE, JUST IN CASE I RUN OUT OF AMMO OR AM ATTACKED BY A VICIOUS GANG OF CARDBOARD BOXES THAT NEED TO BE OPENED.
NEXT IS MY OTHER TACTICAL FOLDING KNIFE JUST IN CASE I HAVE TO LODGE THE OTHER ONE IN THE HEART OF AN ATTACKER!
NEXT IS MY MULTI-TOOL, JUST IN CASE I NEED TO REPAIR A JET OR SOMETHING.
LAST IS ANY SORT OF DECORATIONAL ITEM THAT I DON'T REALLY WEAR, BUT CARRY AROUND JUST IN CASE I'M ALONE SO THAT I CAN LOOK IN THE MIRROR AND THINK I LOOK COOL WITHOUT PEOPLE JUDGING ME.
 
I never answered this, so let's fix that!
Keys, phone, wallet, CZ 75 D compact, pen, small knife, multitool (scissors, knife, file, compass), hair ties
Cigarettes (local brand), lighter, pads, dramamine, water bottle, extra magazine, sharpie marker, hand sanitizer, pack of tissues, lip balm, ear buds, ear plugs, band aids, some cream for cuts, battery pack with a tiny cable for my phone
Sunglasses, notepad, bag of venison jerky in case I feel like having lunch, two boxes of bullets (one HP and one +P), gloves, eye protection, extra socks, umbrella, flashlight, glass breaker, blankets, first aid kit, spare tire, jack, toolbox (basic stuff like pliers and gun oil), two-way radio, bag of batteries, another knife, jumper cables, several gallons of water, air pump, fire extinguisher, book

Dude... Ouch 🤕

I've thought about a Ranger/Colorado/Tacoma but even today they're all a bit overpriced.

Especially the Tacoma.

My buddy from high school bought his stepdad's (4 cylinder) 4x4 2016 Taco from him for like $12k. I forgot if he told me the mileage but it's honestly in good shape and I'm more happy for him than absurdly jealous.

Anyone fuck with incorporating medical into the shit you carry around? I'll throw my ifak in my pack for hikes or long trips but I've been toying with the idea of keeping at least a TQ, quick clot, and a couple of chest seals on me more often. Seems over the top but if it's not uncomfortable or obvious I see no downside besides a potential legal one. I could possibly see a prosecutor trying to say I was looking for some shit if I have to defend myself and have a basic trauma kit on my ankle at the time. Truth is I want to carry this shit because I work around heavy machinery that can easily rip a hand off of in the case of a failure cause shrapnel but prosecutors don't care about that.

I keep a couple of TQ's on my mag pouch just in case and theres a first aid kid under the seat in my truck. You bring up a great point, more people should think about carrying first aid, you're way more likely to need a first aid kit than you are to get in a shootout.
 
I may be a retarded autist for this but I always keep a tritium key fob on my key ring so it's easy to find in case the shit hits the fan in the middle of the night

I've been adding more TQs everywhere, previously carried 1, now need at least 2-3. In addition to that I just cram every available space with z-folded compressed gauze. It can take a lot of gauze to properly pack a wound, one or two may not cut it.

It's not a terrible idea - I keep one in my range bag, my competition belt, in my go bag, just at home because whatever and also in the truck. Gauze is also over provisioned in the same spaces for the reasons you mention.

I'm pretty sure I'll never need any of this (and very much hope that's the case), but the old saw about having and not needing applies.
 
My EDC are my keys, wallet S&WM&P folding knife for stuff like cutting boxes if need be, Wither my Glock43x if it’s hot out or my G19MOS for full-size fall, my Fenix 1000 lumen light and a fixed blade my mini- KA-Bar as far as the wight issue with my gear I use a Nexbelt ratchet belt honestly having one just for work is amazing.
 
99% of the time my EDC is phone/wallet/keys. But, I still carry my knife and flashlight in the car and SOMETIMES my M&P depending on where I'm going.

Having a flashlight that can vary between 'crap where did I drop my phone' and 'blind a nigga' modes is ridiculously underrated imo.
 
Need a multitool. But not one that’s so packed that it’s a bitch to use. One that strike a perfect balance. Any suggestions are appreciated.

Leatherman Bond, Rebar, Curl, or Wave depending on preference. If you don’t need pliers I suggest an SAK Climber, Huntsman, or Ranger depending on size preferences, you’ll want one with scissors I promise.
 
Typically my day-to-day EDC is my cell phone, keys, knife (usually my Pena custom balisong in a leather pocket slip), and a pistol along with two to three spare magazines depending on how I'm carrying. I mostly carry my Dan Wesson Specialist, which is a Government/full sized 1911 in .45 ACP, but I also have a Staccato P in 9mm that I carry sometimes. I have a Privateer Leather custom OWB belt holster and magazine carrier for two mags for the Dan Wesson along with a Nightingale Leather custom shoulder rig that has a carrier for three magazines under the right arm. For the Staccato I have a Tucker Gun Leather Texas Short Stroke OWB holster and mag carrier for two magazines for the Staccato, but the mag carrier doesn't retain the mags as tightly as I'd like and one has fallen out a couple times, which is why I don't carry the Staccato as much. I plan to order a two mag carrier from Privateer Leather for the Staccato mags since the one I have from him for my Dan Wesson has been great after five years of use. Sadly, it won't match the Short Stroke holster, which is Oxblood Red, but it's a small gripe. I plan on getting another Nightingale Leather shoulder rig for my Staccato just like the one I have for my Dan Wesson, though I may go with the side tie down belt loops for it instead of the back strap like I have on my current one.

I want a 1911 one day but I love my P30SK for AIWB carry. I will also appendix my USP45 sometimes if I’m feeling it.

My current EDC is P30SK, keys, wallet, phone, SAK Huntsman, Streamlight Macrostream, and a Gerber MultiLock Woodsman in my backpack.
