I see the issue has already been addressed. Let me add that while torn pants are not a life threatening situation, it could be embarrassing if your underwear is exposed. For some, this is an issue; for some it is not.

I was thinking of adding a thimble to my PSK; actually I can improvise with tape from my first aid kit.

You have to excuse me. I'm thinking with the urban mind set.

If we are to compare E.D.C., in my purse I carry the AMK C.P.R. Medic, modified Pocket Medic, Pocket Survival Pak, EMT shears, Victorinox Classic, Res-Q-Me attached to my key chain, a black 2D Mag-Lite, cell phone, an Energizer portable cell phone charger, travel size Advil, Kleenex pocket pack, SPF 30 Blistex, my medication and a few personal items.
Today I was thinking of including a few local bus schedules.

J-I you are very prepared for sure. In my urban day to day I travel very light compared to you.
Since I drive to work I keep an AMk PSP ( I add 4 MP1 tabs) and an AMK UL.5 in my car plus a set of EMT shears in the driver's side door storage area. In the trunk I have an old multitool, Gerber I think, some work gloves, extra coats, extra shoes and socks plus the usual car stuff like jumper cables. Also in the trunk is a few AMK Heatsheet Blankets and a Thermolite Double bivy. I think there may even be a thermolite poncho in there.
My EDC is quite light most of the time. I have a BM Mini RSK, a Photon freedom or Xlite and a Bic lighter. In my wallet I have 2 quick tinder, 2 MP1 tabs and an extra set of batteries for the Photon.
I've tried to add more to my EDC but it usually lasts no more than a week and I stop carrying whatever it is; too bulky.

. . .a black 2D Mag-Lite. . . Could you find a bigger heavier flashlight? <img src="/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> I'd like to hear the rationalization for EDC of a 2D Maglite. Really, I have a 2D maglite behind the seat of my truck, but I wouldn't consider it for EDC. I have an Underwater Kinetics 4AA eLED which is plenty for disasters/emergencies and if I need more lumens, I've got a Surefire G2. Those lights together weigh less and are smaller than the 2D Maglite. Other than that, good EDC choices.

BTW that UK flashlight is now upgraded. It has 2 power settings: low and high. You can also twist the bezel from a wide beam into a more intense spot ... Overall a great flashlight, that is why I carry it in my inventory 4AA eLED UK flashlight manufacturer site

I looked at the zoom model, but the runtime on low is less than the runtime of the older non-zoom model. Probably due to the Luxeon II in the newer light. I like the way UK underdrives their LEDs. It keeps the LED from overheating and no way will it ever die. Batteries will die but not the LED.
