This is what I put in my trailer!Paulm, you sound like me ! Like to a tee.
I carry around a gym bag. Lots of first aid gear. I'm like the modern-day Les Nessman.
I have a mental picture starting to form. Knife stapped to an ankle, gun in the holster....pen at the ready..
Glad you don't work in the high-crime areas anymore! Yeah, I'd be afraid of going into Illinois too. There's a prime example of a place that has massive gun control, and yet some of the highest crime in the nation - go figure.Sea, you have some pretty cool gear.
When I used to carry it was a lightweight Colt Commander or a Smith & Wesson snubby. Or a Colt Pony Double Action only in .380. I kept that in a wallet holster. It was a pretty slick setup. I also had a Seacamp. But I like the Pony a lot more.
I don't carry anymore because I live very close to the Illinois border. And if I got pinched there, I would be in a world of trouble. That and I don't do very much work anymore in high-crime areas.

Exactly.At the very least I don't intend to be a victim waiting meekly to be shot in an active shooter scenario.
Okay, I'll try to start this off...
As with any EDC, mine changes all the time. Since I collect most of the items I carry, I rotate different items in and out frequently while keeping it basically the same type of gadget.
Phone - Alcatel Fierce for emergencies only.
Wallet - Minimalist card wallet for front pocket carry from Popov Leather.
Notebook - I always carry Field Notes, also in a Popov Leather product.
Pen - I usually use fountain pens, but they are not always practical for EDC. If I use a ballpoint, it is almost always a Fisher Space Pen. This is the Zero Gravity model.
Watch - Again, this varies with my collection. Here is my Breitling Avenger II Seawolf.
Flashlight - Almost always a Mag-Lite. Here is the Mini Mag.
Knife - Always varies, most often a Kershaw or Benchmade. This is my favorite, the Adamas.
Gun - Varies. Springfield, Smith, Beretta, etc., but my favorite two are Kimbers - Ultra Carry II with Crimson Trace, and Micro 9 with Crimson Trace.
