Too long an answer with links for fun:
Left front pants pocket: keyring with an Olight i3S flashlight on it
Right front pants pocket: trifold wallet, Victorinox Cadet with Alox scales, Fisher bullet pen if no shirt pocket
Back pants pockets: nothing. I hate stuff in my back pockets.
Shirt pocket: Moleskine gridded notebook, Cross ballpoint pen, phone
Belt: Keltec PF9 (not me in the photo) in a Crossbreed IWB SuperTuck (I don't tuck - see HI shirt discussion above), spare mag in Safariland 123 horizontal holder.
Other stuff is in a backpack, but the pocket stuff is EDC. I'm looking for:
- the minimum amount of stuff I feel like I need,
- smallest reasonable,
- most economical reasonable
- stuff I feel confident in

I have a sneaky suspicion about one item that's likely to join his EDC stuff once he's in Free America.Weetabix wrote:What's on your person every day? How do you think it will change in MO vs NJ?
...even before I read MHI, my response to seeing a poster for the stars of the latest Twilight movies was "I see 2 targets and a collaborator".

On non-work days I always wear cargo pants. Right front pants pocket is my cell phone, left front is my keychain with house and car keys, plus a micro multitool and aaa flashlight. Either clipped to the right front pants pocket or inside the right cargo pocket is a locking folder, these days a Kershaw Blackout. Inside the left cargo pocket are tissues, lip balm, and usually a Vic Huntsman. Sometimes I'll have a aa flashlight, and like the Kershaw it either gets clipped to the right front pocket, or clipped inside the right cargo pocket.
If I want anything else, it goes in my backpack. LBT 3-day pack. Generally that has my new 8" tablet, a bigger (yes, third) flashlight, some batteries, my Bluetooth headset, some various other odds and ends.
On work days I go through a metal detector, so my pockets are empty and everything I want goes inside the backpack to get x-rayed. Which is much the same stuff, just minus the Blackout and Huntsman. (I could probably bring those every day too, most of the officers know me, but it's not worth the risk.)

Wait 'till you start NEEDING READING GLASSES!!!! THEN, you will COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND the value of shirt pockets (even though I carry mine in a case in my fanny/belt pack - but when I go into a store, it IMMEDIATELY goes onto my face or into my shirt pocket - if I have one)!!

A person properly schooled in right and wrong is safe with any weapon. A person with no idea of good and evil is unsafe with a knitting needle, or the cap from a ballpoint pen.

The problem with dressing your age is that pretty soon you'll start acting your age, and the next thing you know, you'll be one of those cranky old guys with a Garand, yelling "Get off my lawn!"
But there ain't many troubles that a man caint fix, with seven hundred dollars and a thirty ought six."
