EDC Bag Dump Contest: Lone Ranger's EDC/GHB
This is my layout for my EDC bag/ get home bag.
I use it mainly as an everyday carry for whatever I might need while I am at work I work an an office of an industry complex and come across a wide varity of situations everyday. I also do carry this on a daily basis even if i do leave it in my car.
Starting in the upper right corner:
Computer laptop bag: I use this because its a plain backpack and has lots of pockets to keep things organized.
Zip ties: Never know what you might need them for I have small and large size.
USB Drive: able to hold important files and has important documents on it encrypted.
Charging cable for I Pad
Headphones to listen to things on my laptop
AC adapter and DC charger so i can charge from a wall outlet or in a car.
USB Cable to charge a phone.
Clorox wipes to disinfect or clean.
Wisp single use toothbrushes: In case I need to brush my teeth on the go because these don't need water.

From Alex:
Thanks for sharing!
One comment - the prybar is large enough that an LEO might consider it a breaking and entering tool, which can cause legal entanglements in some areas. Fairly bulky for something that probably sees little to no use unless you're in the de-construction business. Probably scratches the hell out of stuff, too. I'd relegate it to the car kit or leave at home unless there's a specific reason for it.
I'll leave it up to the tribe for any other commentary!
