KarzyIvan: I'm humbled, and thankful.

Humbled by your collection, and slideshow. notworthy1.gif

Thankful for your sharing, and because now I can say to my my wife "see ... I'm not the only one". clap1.gif

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! :notworthy1: 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).

My Satchel with a No 12 Dot and an Esterbrook SJ

Is that a PFM next to the rhodia?

 

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.

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.

A gentleman is one who puts more into the world than he takes out.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
