Yes, the wonderful "Everyday Carry", or as I prefer to call it, the EDC; n.   Meaning the items, often those which are used everyday, in conjunction with certain commonly-needed tools, which are carried on the body of person.  I finally have my set in  near  completion. It is currently missing a tritium glow marker (look it up - they are really neat, and only *slightly* radioactive), a knife, and a quick-release A&P Aircraft Mechanic's key ring. I've already a knife to go on there, but, because I bring it to school, I don't usually attach it. The admin/staff "frown" upon such things, and as such I would rather not risk it. What I have on it currently: -House Keys -Bike lock key -Ultrafire MCU-C7 flashlight -And one capsule lighter -Knife (occasionally - not shown) The flashlight is real bright - 200 lumens on max. For comparison, the average incand. flashlight is ~25 lumens. The machining ain't great, but for $12 CAD, it isn't too...
