In a modular approach to kits, I have an altoids PSK and an altoids FAK that ride in alternate front pants pockets. This rides comfortably for me in jeans and suits (I don't wear tight fitting clothes) I also have in my car a full EMT Basic jump kit for responding to the scene on nights when I am on duty. As I think about trimming down the pocket carry to those things that I actually use and shifting my kit to smaller, purpose focused, micro kits (fire, blades, food, water, FAK,) that can be selected together to form a carry selection for reasonably expected scenarios on any given day, I am struck with the idea that what I carry in my FAK is probably too broad for every day use and too small for adventure use. Soooo, yes, I think that there is room for a micro kit with bandaids / plasters and analgesics and antacids which might fit in less room than the Altoids kit, supplement this with an emergency ABC (Airway, Breathing, Circulation) kit which might include (just brainstorming here) a nose-hose, CPR mask, Occlusive dressing, Adhesive Tape / Duct tape, Scalpel & Bic stick pen... and fit in something slightly larger than an Altoids box, supplement those with a Bandage kit containing abdominal pads, 4X4's, Gauze rollers, SAM, More Tape and a Meds kit which would include Betadine, Epi-pen, Glucose, More analgesics, antacids, antiemetics, antidiarhial... This would all add up to a kit about the size of my EMT jump kit - 6"X6"X12" but could be selected seperately as expected needs change. For EDC I could carry the bandaids, tylenol, tums kit. For urban travel I could add the ABC kit. For wilderness I would have the EDC + ABC + Bandages.

I always think first of what can be comfortably carried in my pants pockets. (I am rarely without them <img src="images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> ) Then I think of what I would want to supplement that with if I were to carry a waist pack or vest or coat or backpack. I don't often have a waist pack on and if I were to count on that as my EDC I would often be without my gear. The only exception to this is my Leatherman and my Cellphone which I always wear on my belt.
