Tech Geek EDC

A rampantly circulating activity you can blog about is to show your "Go Bag" or "everyday carry" (EDC) items, the things you deliberately take with you (somewhere?) to be able to get things done.

Seeing that I don't often go out in the first place to do planned activities, I sometimes bring extra things beyond wallet and keys on my person, JUST IN CASE the need arises. And technically, my pouch of tools is a bag.

• Wallet (empty)

• Keys: keys on clips on S-shaped carabiner; Generic LED light

• Mobile phone (cheap, with detachable lanyard)

• Poor man's PDA: Ink pen, Pen, Memo pad

• PMP ($10, with detachable clip): 1GB Sandisk Sansa, with Rockbox firmware

• EDC flashlight around neck: Arc AAA with McGizmo micro clip on break-away paracord lanyard

• EDC multitool: Leatherman Micra with McGizmo micro clip

• General Purpose multitool: Gerber Compact Sport with belt sheath

• More, in zippered pouch: screwdriver with 14 bits; 6 screwdrivers (4 slotted, 2 philips); 3 allen wrenches; mini ratchet/drivers;

• Comb (unbreakable)

This is how I typically roll. When I hit the club up, I also whip out a SIMM hanging on a gold chain, to strike up conversation.
