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.

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...

Plus black pants will work with any shirt in the closet. (I couldn't coordinate colors if I had to.)

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.

Of course we do. Where do you think we keep the cell phone?

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). grin
