What's your favourite Manbag?

[KrazyIvan]

KarzyIvan: I'm humbled, and thankful.

Humbled by your collection, and slideshow.

Thankful for your sharing, and because now I can say to my my wife "see ... I'm not the only one".

I'm definitely getting one of those BDU wallets.

Lastly, I'm curious about your EDC Tool Kit, what do you have in it?

Thanks again, and oh, BTW, have you seen one of these Urban Wallets; check it out: http://www.edcknives.com/vcom/product_info.php?products_id=2275

 

Thank you for the kind words. Currently my BDU wallet contains

• Pico Widgy Pry Bar
  
• Kershaw knife adjustment tool
  
• CountyComm Versa Driver set
  
• Peanut Lighter (I don't smoke but fire starting capabilities can come in useful)
  
• Fine Multi screw driver set
  
• EMT Sheers
  
• Sharpie Pen
  
• 4GB USB Thumb Drive
  

 

I have heard of the Urban wallet but I have not seen it in person. I will have to take a look.

@ DavidHandmade: Thank you! A fellow MD'er! I purchased the BDU wallet on eBay but I have seen them at Countycomm.com and there is also a Maxpedition version. All of them have a slightly different inside configuration. Mine is made by Condor.

 

Hey - Thanks - I will check out those websites & eBay.

 

Off-Topic Q for You:

What mic do you like to use with your MD Recorder for your personal and/or field recordings?

- just curious...

 

Thanks.

I use a mic I got on eBay some years ago. It is a stereo T mic in the flavor of the Sony T mic except it has a 4 ft. cord. Panasonic brand electret mics but put together/manufactured by the seller. He still sells on eBay, username is microphonics, IIRC.

I've been wearing a Tilley Different Drummer Legends Outback Vest for at least 5 years now (maybe closer to 10), everywhere I go. This is their slightly less expensive version of the VOMP (Vest of Many Pockets), and only has 12 pockets (mine has 13, as I had Tilley add one more), including two that can hold a full-size notebook. The regular inhabitants of my vest are pen, cell phone, digital camera, PDA, wallet, and car keys. When I travel, I also carry my passport and pilot license.

No affiliation, other than as a happy customer, and that I'm in the same country as Tilley.

 

You can see a bit of the vest in my avatar (mine is a light brown colour).

Very nice. I have been wanting to get something like that but never get around to it.

They sell on-line too, and the vest has a lifetime guarantee (against wearing out, not against damage by accident). I thought it was a lot to spend on a vest when I first got mine, but I've never regretted it (and like I mentioned, I wear it everywhere I go).

He says it's an Esterbrook SJ. You quoted him doing it.

Hey - I just picked up a Black BDU Wallet by Condor from eBay.

 

It's a great little "pouch" and will work its way into my daily carry-arsenal.

 

Thanks for your post!

Glad you like it. I EDC mine and it is the first pouch I pick up when switching bags.

Hoping that readers will resume the discussion of the briefcase issue. Wondering what's new.

Men carry briefcases, and wouldn't whine about it being heavy

Brilliant! According to you marines aren't men, as they carry usually backpacks?

I think you landed in the wrong forum, try Styleforums!

I had this made by a local craftsman for me. it is based off a saddleback design, combining the best of the large and thinline briefcases.
