Anyone know where Traser Glowrings can be purchased for us USA type consumers?

No customs troubles with the tritium?

Or is it small enough that they count it like they do trit in a watch?

Very cool. Who came up with your "mini PSK?" Whose idea was that?

I guess I can post from work, anyway. I have yet to try my machine at home again.

I'd like to claim it as an original idea, but it probably isn't. I just found a container that was very handy and stuffed it full of essentials that would fit and that were the best gear I could afford to replace...

My minimum EDC:
1) weather forecast
2) appropriate dress for the weather conditions
3) wristwatch
4) handkerchief
5) small pocketknife or mini SAK
6) some kleenex stuffed into a pocket or two
7) keys : house and car plus a mini led light
8) some form of currency

The rest is based on situational need. Most commonly I may add....
1) cell phone
2) 20 oz. water bottle
3) Dorcy LED
4) sunglasses
5) medium size SAK or mimi-tool
6) one or more other items depending on what I'm doing that particular day.

My job is in a public school, so I have to be careful what I carry on my person. A school is a relatively safe environment anyway. There is a cop and a nurse and during an emergency a school will get priority treatment. My home is also safe b/c I'm in control. So, I concentrate on the commute between the two. But that's the subject of another thread.

Now I'm a bit envious. <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> I could not come up with a kit as cool as yours. Unless I copied yours. <img src="/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

I can't stand having tons of things on my belt or pockets. My current urban EDC is :

1) Wallet
2) Keyring : Fenix L0P flashlight, Victorinox Manager and keys
3) Ericsson Z520a cellphone

I chose to remove my Fox40 micro whistle from my keyring this week.

How do you like that Fenix L0P? I just bought an L2P and I'm quite happy with it. I am curious as to how the L0P compares to an ARC-AAA P, which is my current EDC. Not that I plan on replacing the ARC; it's a fantastic light!

Oh man, I think i'm getting the L2T! Did you see this?

Fenix L2T



It's the same as the L2P but with TWO output levels : low (longer runtime) and high (shorter runtime).

David Chow is the owner of this store and I have nothing but good words for him. Definately the best place to get the Fenixes (I never found there somewhere else anyways).
