A great sounding kit, I'll admit. And BIG.

I would nix the hammer right away.

Binocs are something I carry in my car, and in my BOB, but I'm rural; I'd never carry them EDC. If you really want something like that, look at the mini monocular that the soviets designed and the germans perfected.

What you are listing won't fit in a pack-rat. Most of it will, but it will be packed so tight you can't get to anything in an ermergency without having everything blow out all over. I've seen that problem in a lot of EDC'ed PSKs that are considered the holy-of-holies and never used.

My EDC:
-Leatherman Supertool, Pocketwrench II, cut down pencil, Streamlight TwinTack 1L, in a HSGI double pistol mag carrier (Fastex + Velcro = there when you need it)
-Micra, MagLight Solitaire, roll of electrican's tape, keys, on a biner
-DocAllen Versatool, box cutter, pens, pencils, black Sharpie in pockets
-Wallet w/ 2 photo ids, medical card, p-38, tinder, a few bandaids, frensel lens

In what ever pack I'm carrying, I put a water bottle (at least 20oz) and my pack-rat, with:
-a bunch of 4" and a few 6" zip ties
-precission screwdriver and drill sets in pin vises (drill set has a pair of sewing needles and a very heavy sewing machine needle to use as an awl), Squirt EL, spare bits for the Versatool (sometimes the Versatool is in here if it is humid), 6" diag wire cutters, 4" fisherman's type needle nose
-SAK (don't know the model- large and small blades, saw, bottle and can openers, awl, phillips driver)
-black and silver sharpies, red, green, blue and black ball points, pencils, red dry erase marker, pencil sharpener
-lighter
-bandaids, 2x2, 4x4, tylenol, alch pads
-ruber bands, comb (long hair and goatee, need these when the soldiering irons come out)
-spare box cutter
-wire (insulated, usually 24ga or so, several pieces)
-two thumbdrives
-notebook
-calculator
-4 AAAs, 4 AAs, 2 CR123s
-minimag, fiber optic adaptor, 4-legged holder (can't remember what they are called, but handy as it gets)
-phone card, different photo id, duplicate medical data card
-p-38
-filter mask, 2 pairs of earplugs
-8 feet of 550 cord, small roll of red electicians tape, twine, 1 ounce fishing weight (for tossing the line or paracord)
-about 15 feet of ductape, wrapped on a small plastic rod
-1 gallon zip lock, 2 quart, several smaller (4x6, 3x5, 2x3) bags
- change, some ones, check book, address book

And this poor packrat is full!

That is my EDC, along with my steel toed walmart sneakers. My day can have me anywhere from a small urban area (~250K people, nothing more than 10 stories, but plenty of chemical works on higher ground than downtown), to suburban development-type land, to farmland, to being on a large lake, to the truely remote parts of my state. I've been in all of those but the lake today, actually. Long day, taht's why I'm rambling.

Good night, everybody, you've been a swell audience.
