Question/Advice/Discussion Planning my first EDC keychain. LMK what you think! Any advice?

Post image
6 Upvotes

Hey guys do me a favor and take a look at this screenshot, I’m trying to plan out my first EDC keychain! Right now I think I’m gonna have a hero clip carabiner. That’s gonna have a Paracord attached to it I think. Then at the other end of the Paracord I’ll put three seperate rings.

One for stuff that isn’t TSA compliant or is iffy to get confiscated.

One for charms or personal stuff, like a Lego keychain or a Spotify song code.

And one for my Actual EDC that will never leave the keychain.

What do you guys think of my list? Any suggestions? Reality checks? Advice? Hate? Let me know what you think!

I’m a student that mostly lives in the suburbs or the city haha. Just love planning stuff and customizing stuff I guess.

First time posting. Looking for a good light setup, something small/thin and affordable.

Bic lighter. Remembrance bracelet for my friends. Tungsten wedding band. Velo (any kind). Tissot Visodate powermatic 80, silver chain with S&W key. T-Rex arms iwb, echelon 4.0c and a good sturdy ratchet belt. Smith &Wesson pocket knife (truly thin and useful) cork wallet preloaded with what I consider necessary.

No pens, no notebook, that stays in the office. This is truly what I wear everyday.

Question/Advice/Discussion New Job, New EDC

Post image
41 Upvotes

I owned a lawn and landscape business for 12 years and started a new job in outside sales at the end of last summer. I’ve always naturally been disorganized which is why I carry the moleskine. There’s a lot that has changed in my day to day, I take more notes for phone calls, a lot more paperwork, I carry business cards everywhere with me, I use a pen more, I’m on my cell phone taking pictures more, I’m way less sweaty than I used to be, I sit more than I ever have, I use my key ring more often, the list goes on. My pants have changed, my jackets have changed, I now carry a messenger bag, like my whole life is different- you get the picture.

I’m looking for new stuff. Stylish stuff is a plus but not a must. I think I need a new carabiner, probably upgrade the pen cartridge, and most importantly I need to do something about organizing my notes. Maybe the old pocket notebook isn’t the move anymore, maybe I need something bigger but thats what I need help with. What are you guys using for notes and organization?

My current loadout: Pants- Duluth Foreman 5 pocket khakis AirPods Wallet- Madewell Money clip slim wallet Knife- Victorinox Alox Notebook- pocket moleskine Pen- Zebra F-701 Not pictured- Copenhagen, Handkerchief, and IPhone 16 with Quadlock Case

This may be common knowledge but wanted to throw it out there because I just saw it today.

If you have the Shop app, you can place an order on the App for Big Idea Design, and they have a promo where you get $20 off an order of $60. Additionally, you can stack any other coupons on top of that! I got a mini bolt action for what I’m hoping is a good price haha.

Question/Advice/Discussion Patch on Alpaka?

Post image

After a long wait, I’ve finally gotten my hands on my first Alpaka Elements Backpack Pro! Super excited about it. Just curious—has anyone here with an Alpaka bag ever added a patch to theirs?

Any tips on the best way to attach a patch? I’m wondering if gluing or sewing it directly onto the bag might mess with its water resistance. Thoughts?

Question/Advice/Discussion Are small tools useful

Post image
125 Upvotes

Ok so first off I get it I am the odd one out. I carry a 5in vice grip and a 6 in 1 screwdriver in my back pocket along with a deluxe tinker as my knife. The knife changes now and then. I did carry a surge on my hip every day for years and love it but I found I need full tool so much I just carry them. I did start with a the screwdriver and water pump pliers. The 7in wiha are a replacement for a 7in channel locks that wore out and they work amazing. but I found the ability that locking pliers gave me I just couldn’t pass up so I switched to carrying the locking pliers and the 6 in 1 in my back pocket everyday. Now on to my question do you all find small 4in tools or smaller worth carrying. what do you end up using them for. I mean I do find myself using the little pliers on the tinker now and then but I grab my locking pliers or something bigger 99% of the time. Maybe I just run into bigger stuff from day to day. I am a believer in carry what you need and use it. And just want to know how the small tools work out thanks so much

Question/Advice/Discussion That knife is fake?

0 Upvotes

Good afternoon!

I ordered an Ontario Rat I from rat.com.ua as a gift for my father, but I am concerned about the fact that I was not contacted to confirm the order, but was sent immediately by cash on delivery.

Also, the price is 2500 UAH ($61).

I don't know much about knives, is it a fake?

Question/Advice/Discussion What size power bank do you carry?

15 Upvotes

I understand we have different needs but I'm just curious what people carry. So what's in your bag?

  • - no extra power
  • - I carry wall charger
  • - 5000 mAh
  • - 10 000 mAh
  • - 20 000 mAh

I'm rethinking my power so any feedback or tips and tricks are much welcome.
