The Chinese tend to copy other designs for sure. Basically they both sit in one of my bag pockets to make it easier to grab what I need when I'm working. One is set up for first aid, the other as commonly used tools. It also makes it easier to move my first aid kit around to other bags I use.

The back container is a sewing kit.

They do look very nice. I've seen a few Blagspeditions on eBay but they don't seem cheap enough for me. Have you got a link to yours so I can have a better look?

lol, sadly not. I really wish someone made one of those dog packs for a smaller dog like mine. I'd not carry him, but I don't see why he can't carry his own stuff.
I do like to see peoples dogs...... Soppy bugger aren't I :oops:

Is he larger then 13 inches around the chest ?

This is brilliant! Half a ton by road and five tons by canal for your puppy is it?

Need to get onto this dog haulage thing. :D

He has a 21 inch chest, so it looks like a XS will fit him, thanks for the link.

The old Letherman Wave came with an optional screwdriver attachment.

Thinking of rejigging my EDC. I've been thinking that I've become very dependent on the feel good factor of carrying too much crap, but there is only really a few things that I've discovered I regularly use.

The pouch thing is working well for me in some respects, but it's too bulky to fit in my pocket, even my winter coat, so unless I'm taking a bag I'm forced to leave it behind.

As you can see, I've squeezed an entire micro EDC into my wallet, including duct tape, matches, compass, torch, spare phone battery, multi-tool, nail clippers, spare contact lens, lazzy band, pen & paper, micro USB charging cable, tooth flosser and cotton buds... as well as money, cards etc.

As a consequence I've ended up packing my wallet so full that I can't even fit it in the same pocket as my keys. This can't be right. Not only that but I also keep forgetting a bag when I go the Lidl (in Liverpool we like to call it the Lidl) and I'll be damned if I'm gonna pay 6p for a bag.

And so I've binned off all the other stuff and I've decided to include just these things... Money, cards and I might still keep the pen, paper and spare phone battery. That thing on the top of the pile is an argos voucher that I need to remember to use up quick-sharp.

I've squeezed all the other micro EDC stuff into my pouch. Turns out there is plenty of room in it (even though it is quite packed out now).

Is this a good move, do you reckon? I was thinking I might stick a plazzy bag into my wallet. There is enough room and it's something I know I'll use regularly. I just hope it doesn't pack it out too full.

It's a bag from the Aldi, because I hate shopping in the Lidl with a proper the Lidl bag. Like a fanboy.
