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.
Multitool
Eyeglass repair kit
Kershaw pocket knife
Para cord bracelet
First aid kit:minimal first aid kit for cuts.
Container for medication:Ibuprofen, anti-diarheral, anti-histimins. malox tablets.
Non latex gloves
Bandana: Many different uses
Extra AA and AAA batteries
Headlamp: So I can do things with both hands and still have light
Supply of energy and protein bars: good for a snack or if I need to get home
Gatorade gum: Just in case I need a little extra hydration
Propel Gatorade packet to add to water in case I want to flavor some water
5 hour energy in case I need an extra boost
spearmint gum for some fresh breath.

All things I can use on a daily basis. This is in addition to my EDC and what is kept in the car. Most of these things can be resupplied from the car if I needed to take off on foot.

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!
