Often what ever I have on me looks like overkill, I often get teased about what is about my belt,, unitll the people around me suddenly need the gear that I have on me. Then I seem resonable. Funy how perspective changes things so quickly.

Yes, I carry a surplus large ALICE w/ frame. Its full too.

Of course, I have a smaller Eastsport for EDC use. I swap out some of the contents almost daily.

Next week I'll have an excursion and will report fully!

Great ideas, guys! Thanks!
