JohnN, nice rig. Did I miss the food, knife/multitool? What does this set-up weigh? Also, when you said that you carry it as EDC, did you mean in the car or do you actually carry it, on your person, as you commute? Finally, let me suggest the addition of a Katadyn bottle water purifier. In a real disaster, especially after flood /earthquake, you might only have access to some really nasty water.
