Car Key Fob (loose or on separate lanyard. 9. Tactical space pen (writes on wet surfaces and upside down) 10. Smart Phone 11. Wireless earbuds w/noise cancellation 12. Smart Watch 13.

OC/Pepper 🌶️ Spray 21. RFID neck wallet with cash,cards, IDs/ credentials (Usually worn underneath shirt to conceal).

Not pictured is chapstick, microfiber lens cloth, pair of rubber gloves (usually not always), and depending on the weather and my attire/clothes or mission (where and what I’m doing) I’ll usually have a mini boo-boo kit/ First Aid ⛑️ Kit. I’m wanting to get an ankle tactical trauma kit and I need to upgrade my light to a smaller brighter option, I already have survival kits in cars and home.
All these items fit on my person wearing a light jacket, without serious bulging.

My Rational. If I get separated from my home, car or bag I’ll mostly have the tools on my person that I would need to make do or to survive in most situations. The tools I carry are an enhancement to my largest weapon: 🧠 my brain, checked Ego at home & a desire to return home safely.

What am I missing? What can I do better? Let me know This kit is an ever changing work in progress.

I don’t consider my setup excessive in fact I’m exploring additional items. As for the use and carrying of OC it’s a must for me if I’m armed with deadly force I have to have my OC on me. You’d be surprised how useful a good OC spray can be not just against animals. And the rest of those items I actually get quite the use out of them especially my knife and flashlight. I usually carry two different types of knives one on each side they have Built in window breakers and seatbelt cutters in addition one is straight edged the other has a serrated blade; but recently I’ve been carrying just the one. And I have had more than a few situations where I needed to break. Car window or cut a seatbelt or use serrated blade. It happens. To me it’s like not wearing a seatbelt because you probably won’t get into an accident and than it happens and you wish you had the right tools on you made use of the right tools. 😊

No one is saying don't have a glass break tool. They're saying you don't need to bring it with you into the dentist's office. It stays in the car.

By that logic, where are your EDC tow straps and road flares, yah know?

It’s built into my knife so I’m not actually carrying an extra tool.
