As the posts on...Great question, thanks for asking! As the posts on my EDC system states the key is to blend in, and I am still a firm believer in that. There is the simple reality that everything is situational though. When I came up with my EDC system I first looked at what I carried on a daily basis already; wallet, keys, necklace, etc. I was then able to fine tune those items. I already knew I was carrying a wallet every day, and never left the house without it, so why not add things to that wallet that could help with disaster situations. I wanted items that would not make the wallet bulky or heavier and would be extremely useful. I then looked at trends, so my keys are on a carabiner which I hang from my pants which is in style right now. Carabiners allow you to keep more on your key chain then you normally would be able to, so the trend works in my favor. When you start to see that you already carry certain items on you in your daily life, you can start adding to them. So if you carry a purse, make sure you keep items in there at all times.<br /><br />The ECB (everyday carry bag) is a bit different. I carry that whenever possible, but it is not ideal for certain situations. If you are going out to dinner with friends, you are not about to bring a backpack. The ECB is considered a bonus, just like all pieces of your kit. I have it with me as much as possible, but it just isn’t always feasible. This is where the EDC comes into play. When I don’t have my ECB I beef up my EDC a bit. So for example; I keep 50 ft. of paracord in my ECB, if I don’t have the bag on me I then throw on my paracord bracelet so I at least have some rope on me. It is the same with my knife. If I can’t carry my Leatherman strapped to my belt, I put my smaller Swiss Army Knife in my pocket. That way I fine tune my system to the situation.<br /><br />So, now to answer your question; my system allows me to blend into the crowd or situation without looking out of place, or like a “nomad”. If you were standing next to me on the train, you would not realize that I had these things on me as they do not make me ‘stick out’. I dress normal for my age, and the only difference might be that I have a multi-tool attached to my belt, which is not that uncommon and actually looks like a cell phone case. You would have no idea that I had a way of making fire on me, two forms of signaling, rope, knife, tools, two compasses, a barometer, altimeter (those three thanks to my watch,) duck tape, container, flashlight, plus all the things I use in my daily life (keys, money, so on.) And that is just on my person in my EDC, and does not include the functions of my ECB. Get creative, watch the trends, and don’t worry about what others will think. Chances are they are too concerned with their own image to worry about yours.JVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04779301778753387458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7326140154659428203.post-31622611128110158092011-08-25T02:34:16.818-04:002011-08-25T02:34:16.818-04:00I like the idea of having some of these items on y...I like the idea of having some of these items on you, but how about when your enjoying a night out and cant exactly have it all?

You can find some versions that come with a leather sheath, and the bushcraft series comes with a better quality plastic swivel sheath. Making your own kydex sheath is not that hard, and there are a bunch of vids on YouTube that could help you. Kydex is cheap, durable, and allows the blade to breath so it is worth looking into. I don't mind the plastic one myself, but I might look into making a kydex sheath just to see if I like it.
