Update my EDC before I get my Platy organizer!

I was deep in the scene and the trends years back, but other hobbies picked up and I got happy with what I had. I’m currently in a bit of a life reset after some family deaths and updating all my preparedness gear, starting from my pockets outwards. I ordered the new Maxpedition front pocket organizer wanting to use it as a combination wallet/gear pouch, but I’m realizing I should evaluate my current gear anyway.

I work three days a week in a Chicago highrise downtown, then the rest of the week I’m teaching archery down in rural areas or other suburbs. It is COLD, my coat pockets will be another thread.

-Spyderco lil native Wharnie. Just got it as a fist. Love it.

-Acebeam 35 II. Done everything I need it to do, can back up my phone as a battery, but pretty bulky for urban commuting.

-Maxpedition thin wallet. I want to replace this with something minimalist to hold all my cards (I never carry cash) in the front pocket organizer.

-Leatherman Squirt P4. Been carrying this guy since high school twenty years ago, my best friend. But if there’s better tools that aren’t much larger, I can shelve him to something where he won’t get lost.

-Photon freedom. Red LED. Collected these all over as a kid, wore one as a necklace for years. But it’s ancient tech these days, may be better off as a zipper pull.

-Mini bic with a rubber band lock. I don’t smoke, just a wannabe Boy Scout.

-Parker jotter with space pen insert.

-Cracked Casio with nato strap that cost more than the watch.

-Dollar store cotton bandana.
