Anyways thanks for looking, I’m off to steal my friend’s sailboat and spend 200 days at sea.

- Black Leather Money Belt.

- 500ml Zip Bag with 5 water purification tablets

- Laminated Organ Donor card with with the box checked that I am NOT an organ donor, disagree with any tissue being taken from me and that this is a copy.

- 6€ in Coins

- 2€ in Cents

-100€ in small bills.

- two Ibuprofen tablets

Whole set up exist for two reasons, first my personal experience that the majority of dangerous/stressful SHTF situations are personal and not on a environmental or societal level and can happen at any time. And secondly other items like belt pouches or bags are too bulky, look out of place in every day life and are easier lost. This stays with me as long as I have my pants on and if I don't have my pants on anymore, I have a whole world of others problems the content of this belt can't fix.

The money is arranged around being always able to pay for things to help me out quick in an emergency like a hotel room for the night, a full tank of gas for my car, a train ticket or travel food, but low enough that I am not a worthy target for criminals.

Zip Bag is for the situations when I don't trust the local water quality at the place I am or I don't want to visit any local buildings and ask for water, but there is a visually clean source of water in the environment.

Ibu for headaches, muscle/back pain from lying wrong and bruises.

Donor card so the paramedic from the ambulance can identify me when I am out and my other items like phone and wallet have been stolen or thrown away. The donor card doesn't count as an official document when doing business, so it can get lost, stolen or damaged.

Still looking for a cheap mini lighter and mini knife I can include into this. I currently have a small BIC and Al Mar Stinger always on me, but those are in my pockets/on my keychain. They are too thick for the belt and the Stinger is too expensive for what it is. The sheath also doesn't hold up to the wear and tear of being on the keychain, had to drill a hole into it after two years and reinforce it with epoxy. The small BICs sadly break in the belt after some time and the fluid de-colors the belt. These Basic Nature belts only last 3-4 years, then they look like shit.

-Edit:

Kinda funny how I am away for three hours and the post gets locked for people being butthurt about me not being an organ donor. Guess what dummies, you are still alive when they butcher you. You can't transplant dead organs. They just declare yourself dead and refuse to give you treatment that could heal you. And before any clown comes with brain death, you are more than just a brain. Also the whole system is corrupt like ass and on top of it, the medical services nickle and dime you for every shit, yet you are suppose to give up the most valuable things for free? Not a single doctor, nurse or hospital is doing an organ transplantation for free. Let that sink in. Also what ever happens to my body my choice? You think you have the right to demand over my body, just because it would be convenient? Get fuck and learn to respect people, even if they are dead.

Questions: What do you wish you knew before buying one? What do you wish was changed? Do you prefer the regular to the CX and why?
 
Any and all insight welcome!

My most common edc at the moment :

- bic lighter

- no name usb drive (15Gb)

- spyderco para 3, if I recall it properly

- victorinox spirit

- one mint candy

- some cheap Bluetooth earbuds (15€) that are pretty decent for the price.

Not shown :

- seiko SKX007J1

- a simple yet cute black and white bracelet my 4yo daughter made for me.

- my phone, Samsung galaxy a55

Since my reddit account got stolen recently and I have to start anew, why not showing my most recent edc before participating again.

Simple, relatively cheap (the spyderco was a gift) yet reliable and tailored to my needs.

Ridge, Gerber and Rotring

I speak very highly of this Rotring 600 and would suggest to anyone who enjoys a smooth pen with a bit of weight. It is quite the treat. What else am I missing

IVIG DAY2: I am carrying my new Kansept Contra S90V super slicer, Kizer Smolt 154cm, Loop Gear SK-05 II PRO, new Wuben G5 400lm clip light,Leatherman Wave Alpha, and Stimagz by Stimara.

Stockman knives were great because they had 3 distinct blades with different use cases. What's your ideal modern 3-blade setup? I would say:

1. One-handed open locking drop point
2. Folding scalpel holder (#11 style not the new long ones that pretend to be a real knife)
3. Maybe a small sheepsfoot? This is the one I'm stuck on. Honestly I might just prefer a Victorinox style 2d screwdriver designed for both flathead and phillips instead of a third blade.

Had a buddy obsessed with a Zip .22 on paper until he finally bought one and absolutely hated it. Curious what your biggest EDC purchase regrets are?

Of course I have a truck gun, and a home defense weapon or five. But this is what a realistic edc for me looks like because where I live, I don’t have very much to worry about. It’s easy to get to, and not bulky. Pig sticker for reference. The wallet was a gift. The knife I bought off of eBay and sharpened it myself.
