Comments
This is my woods carry.
Locking pocket knife (4 inch blade)
Multitool (Small saw, etc)
Firesteel
Duct tape (I'm usually shooting inthe woods, secures targets well)
Paper targets
Folding saw
Small tarp
A rifle with 100-500 rounds (ether a .22lr or ar-15)
If I'm not carrying a rifle I take a 60lb compound bow.
That's just my dicking around kit. I carry that stuff in my cargo pockets. I don't have a beefier kit right now, but I do have several fixed blades should the need arise.
I don't carry a fishing kit because the woods I'm in lack moving water, but are game rich.
Are you a mad surgeon perchance?
But I missed a pocket and forgot some stuff though
Hot glue
Cyanoacrylate
Tweezers
Dental floss

On my person (and pretty much will always have on me)
-Multitool. Leatherman Blast, carried on my belt.
-3W single LED AA flashlight. Left front pocket.
-1 ball point pen
-phone. Motorola Krzr
-Wallet, containing:
--four salt packets
--short hook/diamond lock picks and tension wrench
--paperclips
--2 band aids
--sewing needle
- i also occasionally carry one of my smaller folding knives (CRKT Drifter or kabar dozier hunter), usually when im going to be in a car and there is zero chance of me going to a nightclub or something. knife laws are a on the strict side here in NSW. The multitool is a lot more cop friendly.
In my bag
-netbook. Asus eeepc 1005p
-packets of tissue.
-duct tape
-bic lighter
-sharpie
-whiteboard marker
-few plastic bags
-plastic fork and spoon
-dental floss (used on its own or with the sewing needle)
-mini crowbar. i dont actually need this. i found it on the ground and never bothered to take it out.
-i will eventually replace the crowbar with a first aid kit when i finish it.
-ive bought a few whistles on ebay. i will put one of them in
edit: funny how ebola and i both have dental floss as part of our EDC i didnt expect anyone else to carry it

Damn man, you're prepared for anything.
The only thing you don't carry is a sky chart of the celestial sphere.
Not really, but it have helped me out alot a few times when i have needed the tools or have had to "McGywer" something into working again.
Most of the time i atleast have enough gear to improvise something that sort of works.
Also looks like i will have a new EDC knife instead of the Becker, it will probably be moved to my wilderness survival bag instead.
Here is my new knife:
H&K Tactical fixed blade 14100
Really like it so far, needs some work on the edge but should work out just fine.
sorry but i had to lol at the guy who brings ramen noodles and duct tape around :facepalm:
I'm assuming by thread title, this is shit u carry on you to school/work ?
I only carry my backpack when im going further away from home then i can easily walk home in a few hours...
If im just going into town i only bring what i have in my pockets.
Thats what I was talking about in the OP and my list is of what I carry to work or in a "Everyday" situation. A few people seem to have snuck in their bug-out kits etc. but thats still good info
