It's kind of funny, I didn't EDC fire-making gear until I saw Cast Away. The thought of Tom Hanks' character being stranded on that island with no apparent way to start a fire got me to add a BSA Hot Spark to my key chain. He didn't think he was going anywhere non-urban, but as fate would have it ...

Let's see ... in my pockets I carry:

ARC AAA-P flashlight
BSA Hot Spark w/ striker
Orange Fox40 whistle w/ the belly ground down
Gerber Micro LST (I carried this before I got the mini Mk1 - still there)
Mini RSK Mk1, black handle
Lip Balm
Cell phone w/ numbers loaded
Clean Hankerchief
Wallet w/ cash, ID, credit cards, insurance cards
Casio watch - nothing fancy

I tend to wear good walking shoe/boots that I could walk some miles in. I try to wear a coat/hat/gloves that would allow me to spend a decent amount of time outdoors - as opposed to inside my truck.

I've been meaning to add some kind of little compass. I bought a Suunto Gem, but the capsule pops out of the case too easily. I don't carry any first aid gear in pockets. A clean hankercheif will suffice in an emergency.

When out hiking or camping the amount of gear in my fanny pack/daypack is much more inclusive. When the PLB arrives next week that will be added too.
