My EDC stuff is almost overboard.

Inspired by Doug Ritter I have a small personal pocket survival kit which I never leave home without:
  • GSI 420 waterproof case
  • 18" Duct tape wrapped around the case
  • 24" paracord wrapped around the tape
  • 6 assorted band aids
  • 6 assorted safety pins
  • 20' of brass snare wire
  • Modified firesteel
  • 4 Spark-lite tinders
  • Utility knife blade (wrapped in heavy paper)
  • Small spool of black thread
  • 3 needles and 3 strait pins wrapped with some thread
  • 2 Immodium
  • 2 Reactine antihistamine
  • 2 Tylenol Ultra
  • 2 Gravol
  • $20 bill
  • 6 assorted fish hooks
  • 6 assorted split weights
  • 50' fishing line
  • 4 Aquatabs (each good to lean 1L of water)

Plus the stuff in my pockets:
  • Ronson Jet Lighter
  • SPF 30 lip balm
  • Kershaw Cyclone
  • Gerber EAB pocket folder
  • Fox40 whistle
  • Suunto mini thermometer/compass (attached to the whistle with a split ring)
  • Gerber Infinity Ultra flash light
  • Victorinox Cybertool or Gerber Needlenose Multipliers (on belt)

...and that's just the 'must have' stuff. I also often have a home brew gear repair kit (actually I have a ton of kits for different purposes) which also has alcohol and safety pins in it.

Edit Reason: forgot about the lip balm!
