Setting up my EDC

[Zai]

Zai,

Like it!
What's the actual bag pictured?
Rymans do a really good permenant mini marker.
I also put cash in my EDC.

It's a no-make thing a friend bought me for Christmas years ago to keep my baccy tin in Yes the marker is deliberately on the big side. I've just weighed the bag, and with the extra torch comes in at just over 1.5lbs.

Socks are a great idea but a pair of decent socks would fill up my little bag with no room for the radio or multitool

Even a thin pair of cotton ones would do if you could squeeze them in. Is it pretty much full up now?

Some boiled sweets could be useful

Yeah, it's full now, the change of clothes will go in my bigger bag at work now

There are a few sweets in there, I put them at the bottom otherwise they wouldn't last long lol

I'd not worry to much about antibacterial wipes, unless we are talking about alcohol wipes as they are dual purpose, being that they help getting a fire going. I'd replace the matches with a firesteel as they can take more abuse, plus the larger ones are rated at 12,000 strikes so even if it takes five to get a fire going (if you don't know how to use one properly) it will still last longer than the matches. I'd also recommend something like a LED Lenser P2 flashlight. Its also worth carrying a few plasters, a small tube of super glue to patch up any cuts.
