These are my van keys, allways with me, the Prybaby looks heavy but is not really like that and it's a very usefull tool.

Is that the .22 ammo/pellet pouch?

-- Craig

The dark grey tube is an Arc AAA led flashlight.
The tool that looks like a bottle opener is an Atwood Prybaby, it's a bottle opener/prybar/screwdriver tool made of premium S30V steel.
The yellow thingy is a GlowRing (tritium).
Truck key.
Berkeley Point stainless steel mini clip.

Sorry that I bumped this tread, but I would really like to see other people's EDC / survival keychains.

Mine is part of my EDC



It's devided into 3 modules (and a carabiner):



And it has the following components:



1 carabiner hook

Module 1
1 ferro-rod (in scrink-tubing)
1 od-ities metal capsule filled with cotton wool and 3 meters of waxed dental floss

Module 2
1 small metal whistle
1 Photon II microlight
1 shopping-cart coin
1 pair of folding scissors
1 Leatherman Squirt P4

Module 3

1 Silver gripper
keys
2 paper-clips
1 safety-pin
60cm of electician-tape

This keychain is first clipped to my belt and then tucked into my jeans-pocket. That way I prevent that annoing rattle.
You hardly notice that it is in your pocket, so no attention from the girls, if you know what I mean.... <img src="/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />

Take care everybody.

I've found out that zipties work great as keyrings. To prevent them from tightening, I put a drop of glue at the junction point. You can't resize them once you've done that but that's okay, they can be cheaply replaced.

I've updated my keyring a little since last year. Here it is today with a Fenix L0P instead of a Photon Freedom Micro, and a USB memory drive :

Why did you replace the Micra with that SAK??

re: Key Fobs
I quit carrying mine after this experience. I was walking away from my vehicle and heard the doors unlock. Seems I had reached into my pocket for something and somehow accidentally pressed the unlock button. For the next several days (I was in a very remote area where leaving the vehicle unlocked was not an issue), I checked the vehicle before I hit the unlock button. Found it was already unlocked. Once I saw the lights flash outside as I threw the keys on the desk.

no more remote for me.....

I have problems with the pocket wearing out. I eventually get a hole in my right front pocket. These can be very hard to repair. I wish the clothing manufacturers would use better cloth for pockets. I use quality stuff, too ( Lee jeans, TruSpec utilities, 5.11 trousers, etc).

I think it is too big when you decide to no longer carry it.

Hi Jim!

I prefer the small scissors on the SAK for precision work. The SAK is rounder and feels smoother in the pocket, and it's also lighter. Most importantly though, I find the SAK is easier to use... no need to unfold first then pull out the implement while the scissors are in the way, like for the Micra. That SAK also has a retractable pen.

The only reason I would go back to the Micra is for durability (all metal) and the stronger and larger scissors.
