DIY Kevlar Bracelet
Anyone in the EU wanting a leatherman?
Like someone else, was led here from an AskLemmy post - here's my EDC
Right wrist (I'm a leftie): Garmin Instinct Crossover Solar Tactical (with generic glass screen protector and silicone case)
Front left pocket:
- A leather pocket organizer, holding:
Front right pocket: my iPhone 15 Pro Max in a black Spigen Tough Armor case
Back right pocket: a large handkerchief (I get bloody noses and my engine runs pretty hot - I can sweat a lot at times)
Back left pocket: reserved for my minimalist EDC wallet when I carry it (not the exact model, I don't always carry, as I can use my phone for everything, including digital driver's licence)
Belt, right side:
- Leatherman Surge stainless, using the pocket clip, but on my belt
- A spring clip carabiner, on a belt loop, holding
- My house keys and a trolley token release tool, in a black leather Orbitkey
- My car fob
Belt, left side: RAE Gear sheath for Leatherman bit kit, holding:
- Dual bit kit
- After-market bit kit extension (simply cannot get the Leatherman ratchet extension ANYWHERE!)
- Leatherman saw blade (file lives on my Surge)
When I go camping/offroading, I'll often put the Leatherman into a Toolbro holster, holding my Wuben L50 rechargeable torch.
Sadly, it looks like WJMake is no longer selling on Etsy (where I got the Toolbro), which is a real shame. They sold some really nice, handmade EDC accessories, and were happy to customise to suit my exact needs.
Mine has the extra elastic loop on the side to hold my Space Pen, an extra pocket on the front to hold the Leatherman saw blade, and they swapped out belt loops for a pair of belt clips, so I could wear/remove without having to undo my belt - a really important (to me) capability when camping and offroading.
EDC just came up in another community, so it's time for a pocket dump
Where do you carry your stuff?
I used to just put my stuff into the little pockets in my bag, but have since switched to sort of a pouch which was designed for a phone, but fits everything I need. But where do you put your stuff if you don’t have a bag to put the pouch in? I envy woman for being able to walk around with a bag the size of a phone without looking stupid. Do you always carry a backpack? Or do you put your stuff somewhere else?
What's is your favorite "unique" edc?
Something not too many people have, but you really like. Not like a flashlight or a knife/multitool. My most unique (although still popular) are probably my loop quiet ear plugs. They come in handy in a lot of cases and word really well.
My EDC when I'm just at home
Looking for a knife that flips open like a Milwaukee Fastback for under $100
With the Milwaukee, you hold a button and flick your wrist to open/ close it. makes it easy to use with one hand. any knives with a regular blade that do this? thanks
