Russ Geezer Registered: 06/02/06 Posts: 5357 Loc: SOCAL	Originally Posted By: Jeanette_Isabelle ... Of course! How else does one EDC a D-cell MAG-LITE, first aid kit, EMT shears, medications, sunscreen, Kleenex, lip balm, eyeglass case, bottled water and an organizer? Jeanette Isabelle I've found myself using a County Comm Gaffer's Bag to carry all sorts of sundry items. They are not a backpack and have nowhere near the volume, but they can carry lots of different items and those items can be heavy. YMMV, for some applications it's ideal.

hikermor Geezer in Chief Geezer Registered: 08/26/06 Posts: 7705 Loc: southern Cal	A lot of people wear black. it slenderizes and looks quite nice, especially on blondes. Somehow I suspect black on Deathwind is not so appealing... _________________________ Geezer in Chief

MDinana Pooh-Bah Registered: 03/08/07 Posts: 2208 Loc: Beer&Cheese country	Originally Posted By: yee Originally Posted By: Jeanette_Isabelle You don't EDC a Kleenex go pack Oops. Guilty as charged. I EDC a bandana instead (hip pocket, right) As my daughter recently pointed out, it is easier for a male to EDC things. Guys pretty much always wear pants with 2 front pockets, 2 back pockets and a belt at a minimum. Girls have a much more varied wardrobe. I suppose girls can carry purses though. most girl clothes have pockets, they just don't use them.

Leigh_Ratcliffe Veteran Registered: 03/31/06 Posts: 1355 Loc: United Kingdom.	Usually in the back pocket alas. Which, as I keep telling my wife, rather spoiles the view when it comes to her pride and joy. She's a Zulu by the way married to an English Saxon (me). _________________________ I don't do dumb & helpless.
