Hi Guys!! I was updating my kits and I thought I would take some pictures for the forum. Enjoy and feel free to make comments!!

My EDC:

-Benchmade Mini Ruckus
-MotoRazer
-Keyring with Photon 2 and 4Gb. Sandisk flash drive and Leatherman Squirt P4
-Surefire L1 Lumamax
-Leatherman Wave
-Wallet
-PSK (detailed pic below)

And at the top of pic is my EDC plate


The guts of the EDC small kit(primarily a DR Pocket Survival Pak) :



Below is my larger kit that lives in my backpack that usually goes everywhere with me. (Some gear in this kit is again from a DR Pocket Survival Pak). Included is an Atwater Carey FAK and extra Surefire batteries in a holder.




And the guts of the Big Kit:



I feel like i'm using up some valuable space with the big SAK, ARC LED AA, and full vile of Windproof matches.

I am missing some kind of water container and probably some other things. Any ideas????

Water Container - Condoms. Tiny.

TINY?!

Condoms suck for this. Breast milk bags are better. A bladder or a turkey bag is are probably the best two, depending on you durability vs compactness curve.

Condoms may be tiny, but I bet you could squeeze a few Gerber baby bottle liners into that Pelican case. I bought some for my kit a while back and loved them. Mine held almost exactly 16oz, which is perfect for the water purification tablets i carry. I did a test run with one on a day hike and it did pretty well. I filled the bag at home, tossed it into my cargo pocket, and carried it around like that for a day. It held up very well, and there were no leaks at all from the ziplock seal.

You can't buy much with only a couple of dollar bills these days, you might want to scrimp and save enough to put at least a twenty in there. A couple of fiftys would be better...

I didn't think he had near the room for a bladder of any sort... thus the condom suggestion.

The TINY was in terms of storage... I'd get the biggest non-lubed you can find.

I don't really have much room for a bladder like you said, I think I'll go for a condom. I will put some additional cash in the kits as well.

As far as the matches go...I have an entire bottle of waterproof matches in there. I think it wastes alot of space. What is the best way to store these matches outside of there containr in a kit??

With a striker?


Should I ditch the huge (and relatively heavy) ARC AA for a Photon 3?? That and the SAK seem to steal alot of valuable space??


PS: I am building a BOB out of a MOLLE backpack... I will post pics soon!!!

I'll trade you an Arc AAA for the Arc AA

On your big kit, a 1ltr water bottle (full!) to keep them company would be a good idea. A rolled up water bladder like a Platypus would be worth considering.


And a poncho!!!!
