I started wearing g shocks back in the early 80's. I lost one at the end of summer canoeing. The next year we were in the same area and one of the alarms I had set went off. I found it and put another band on it. I figured if it made it through the Alaskan winter it was good enough. That same watch served me well through my diving and pile driving until about 2000 when I replaced the beat up turd. I found it again a few years back in a bolt can, still kicking. I might see if I can find that thing to see if it still works.

[@phabeondominguez5971]

@@phabeondominguez5971 I need to find those watches. I think they were some of the first ones. I think I got my first one in 1982. That one had five alarms, a light, and countdown/elapsed time. That one has had so much wear that you couldn't make out ant markings on it. I stopped wearing it because it was so beat up. But it ALWAYS worked. I'm pretty sure that one is still around here in a bolt can or something. I would put money on it working if I find it.

Your hand is most likely not going to cause pain or discomfort when you push someone back, but the small surface area of a flashlight or front of a gun with a compensator is going to be painful when jammed up against someone. This has the benefit of keeping the slide from being pushed back and rendering the gun unable to fire when you really need it to. This particular point is what they were discussing

Charlie Aydin correction... your even keel with everyone who OBEYS THE LAW there. Difference for me is my country allows law abiding citizens to be on even keel with those who illegally carry weapons also. How do single women who suffer disparity of force protect themselves in the down under?!?

[@charlieaydin1377]

@@guy9146 this is true. I guess culturally, we have a different outlook. We are a mostly peaceful nation. Gun related violence and even violence and crime in generally are fairly low. It's not something we commonly consider. I would love to be able to carry though.

[@guy9146]

Charlie Aydin you’re nation is also mostly ethnically & culturally homogeneous. This itself leads to a more peaceful place as people tend to agree with each other. Unfortunately the diversity that makes America great also leads to much more violence.

Regarding watches I prefer to always have an analog face or a combination face as analog hands can act as a compass. If you can determine the sun's direction hold your watch level with the hour hand pointed at the sun. The 12 (or 1 during DST) will point south (or North in the southern hemisphere). It's more complicated close to the equator and, of course, it won't work if your watch is too far off actual local time but it's better than no compass at all.

[@godlovesyou8536]

When you are building your edc loadout, build it for your personal needs. Carry what you will use often, and for your self defense, carry what you will most likely need in a self defense scenario. Also consider this golden rule - Don’t use anything that will ruin your EVERYDAY carry just to have a tiny advantage on the day you hope never comes. Some examples: As cool as multi tools are, I PERSONALLY never need one, so I just carry my knife. I don’t carry a med kit but I seriously need to bc bleeding will kill, and being able to save a life is just as important as being able to take one. Lastly, I carry water, a hat, a rain jacket, the list goes on and I use all of it so I carry a backpack. If you only have a gun, a phone, and your keys, however, you have zero need for a backpack (not considering the growing want for armor)

Adding to the conversation about lighting: In the words of my county sheriff when asked about the light on his pistol, "I like to be able to see what I'm shooting at". Simple enough idea. Also there's the line of thinking to have multiple forms of light for regular use (edc light, cellphone, keychain light etc) and keep the weapon light saved for ONLY that purpose so the batteries will be ready to go full-up for when you deploy your pistol. That being said, if you carry a pistol its great to understand how to use a separate light and firearm at the same time, as often threats come at night regardless of if you are a member of the "weapon light on a 'full' size EDC pistol" cult. Awareness at night is a huge issue to start with, but also you need light to move safely, identify any threats, and if necessary to return fire. Just my $.02 on the light debate, everyone has to make this fit their personal use.

Traser H3 P6508 Code Blue which has lasted me 11 years and only needed servicing twice so far for a new face and battery each time.
