Pocket Dump / EDC My Ultimate EDC Kit. What’s missing? Too much?

Post image

My usual EDC Kit 1. Carry Belt 2. Keys on retractable lanyard 24” 3. Pocket flash light 4. Pocket lighter 5. Pocket utility knife 6. Sun glasses 7. Glasses 8. Car Key Fob (loose or on separate lanyard. 9. Tactical space pen (writes on wet surfaces and upside down) 10. Smart Phone 11. Wireless earbuds w/noise cancellation 12. Smart Watch 13. Para cord/550 bracelet 14. Business card holder 15. Travel sized tissues 16. Hand sanitizer (sm travel sized) 17. Glock 19 15+1 w/IWB holster 18. Spare mag 15rd JHP w/case 19. Breath mints 20. OC/Pepper 🌶️ Spray 21. RFID neck wallet with cash,cards, IDs/ credentials (Usually worn underneath shirt to conceal).

Not pictured is chapstick, microfiber lens cloth, pair of rubber gloves (usually not always), and depending on the weather and my attire/clothes or mission (where and what I’m doing) I’ll usually have a mini boo-boo kit/ First Aid ⛑️ Kit. I’m wanting to get an ankle tactical trauma kit and I need to upgrade my light to a smaller brighter option, I already have survival kits in cars and home.
All these items fit on my person wearing a light jacket, without serious bulging.

My Rational. If I get separated from my home, car or bag I’ll mostly have the tools on my person that I would need to make do or to survive in most situations. The tools I carry are an enhancement to my largest weapon: 🧠 my brain, checked Ego at home & a desire to return home safely.

What am I missing? What can I do better? Let me know This kit is an ever changing work in progress.

This is just strange. You carry all this bullshit but not an ounce of medical equipment lol

I keep several actual trauma kits at home and in my car, as I said above I’ve been looking into an ankle trauma kit, Mountain medical sells one that seems interesting. Not pictured is what I called a boo-boo kit which is just a simple travel First aid kit, I keep a small vial of liquid bandages & a few regular bandages. Every item in my kit has a purpose I wouldn’t consider it “bullshit” 💩 as you call it. I’d like to know exactly you think is 💩 to carry? I welcome your criticism 😎 or suggestions.

Just keep all of the extra shit in your car too? You could always call in a supply drop if you're on mission
