There are always a few things that I ?nd handy to have in my day to day goings on. A pen, keys, nail clippers, tweezers, a lighter, a flash light, etc. Carrying things loose in a pocket is just asking to lose things.

I’ve tried having a bunch of gadgets on a key ring, but I just found that way too lumpy. I knew I wanted to be able to carry it in a pocket, but I had an idea for something that was a lot more streamlined.

I also think it’s important that if I’m wandering oround out in the woods, to have some items with me to allow me to survive should I become lost or injured. I came up with the idea to have a survival kit, not in a container, but on a carrier. That the carrier could also come apart and serve as one of the most useful and crucial items one can have, cordage.

The Every Day Carry Module at the top and the Survival Module at the bottom. The Every Day Carry Module at the top and the Survival Module at the bottom. The EDC Module contains a Fisher Trekker Space Pen, Fenix L0D AAA flashlight, Ronson refillable lighter, Gerber nail clippers, Uncle Bill’s Sliver Grippers, pill fob with Aspirin, jumbo spy capsule/pill fob for smokes. Several of the items have been covered in shrink tubing to protect them, cut down on jingling, prevent screw closures from working loose, etc. The whole thing weighs about 200 grams. I've been using this for about 5 years. Very comfortable to wear – I really don’t feel it at all.
