Maxpedition Micro (completely maxed out) - What do I keep in my pocket organiser pouch/tool kit

Finally filmed a video showing off everything I keep in my Maxpedition Micro pocket organiser and it is seriously maxed out.
I know I got centimetres and millimetres mixed up in the video but I bet you're going to tell me in the comments anyway.
I will try and find links to everything I have in my kit but some of it I have made and other bits I have picked up over time in all sorts of locations so I won't be able to link absolutely everything.

Wow very nice kit. I have a micro as well and I’m blown away by how much it will hold! One small suggestion if I may? Medical supplies of some sort. I carry a couple 2 x 2 gauze pads and a couple bandaids. Just the very basic just in case of a small injury. Of course being a paramedic my mind set goes that direction anyway, but thought I’d share that suggestion. Loved your kit and I feel I need to find that tiny mechanical pencil now!!

[@carryco]

Hi there, thanks so much for the suggestions, I really do need to get a few small medical supplies in there. I'm pleased you love your Micro as well, such a great bit of kit. The pencil is called an Ohto Minimo, hope that helps.

Not a bad way to go I went a little different with mine in my video but great stuff man. I’m glad tool kits are becoming more popular. Hope to see your channel continue to grow man.

[@chasingthetrail9375]

The only thing I might look at upgrading is your ratchet to either the topeak rocket lite ratchet or the Granite Rockwell mini ratchet same size and shape but better bit retention and a selector switch instead of flipping the ratchet over they’re practically Identical aside from a few pieces you see them come with so I’d go with whatever you can a find a better deal on.

[@carryco]

Thanks very much for the feedback and suggestions, both of those ratchets look like top upgrades on the Victorinox one so I'll check them out properly. Just about to head over and watch your kit video now 👍. Cheers

[@Dracomies]

This is a genius kit. A lot of people know how to fit small items in but not in a way that's useful or effective. Your kit actually is leagues above those 'Altoid tin' kits in that everything has a use and practicality. You also make a really great point about the Leatherman bits. It's so true. If you lost one bit, you're SOL. I personally shifted away from Leatherman bits as well because they get mangled pretty easily (compared to Wiha or Wera bits), they also don't have as much force because it's half the size (they just don't feel as locked in), and it's actually pretty cumbersome to take each bit out and use on a clunky multitool when it's much easier to use a driver instead. I love how you did that cork thing. It's just so next level. And the way you labeled everything is just so eloquent. Also the WD40 idea seems so damn genius as well but I'll admit I'm scared to try that. :P

[@carryco]

Hi there, Thanks very much for your kind message, I've moved putting my kit together and I get plenty of use out of it, I've made a lot of changes since this video so I'll probably upload a new one soon. The WD40 is still holding up ok so far 😂 Cheers

[@PremSingh-ps6vl]

Bloody good show ,well impressed, just starting a edc kit ,great ideas

[@carryco]

I'm pleased you enjoyed watching it, hope you like creating your kit/EDC as much as I do

[@acbigal]

Knipex pliers are my most used tool at work working on chemical tankers. When you adjust them just right they work like a ratchet and make the job very quick and the angled teeth get the same grip as the old fashioned pipe wrenches. I've put cheater bars on my larger ones and put a ton of torque on them and I've still not had any break. I have that mini knipex plier and I never thought of adding it to my edc but I definitely will now. Nice kit you have put together!

[@carryco]

I love hearing about gear being put to proper use, I can't say I've put mine up to a proper test but I can tell they'd be able to handle anything, cheers for watching.

Awesome how many items this tiny pouch can fit.

[@cameronchicken8439]

i have the cobra xs and i’m waiting for the wrench pliers xs (ordered over a month ago) to decide which one to use as a slingshot. I found a 1/4” square to 1/4” hex locking bit holders and I plan to weld them to the tips of the handle of one of the pliers so that it’s more of a multi tool but also so I have a really fast way to attach slingshot bands. I really like the knife holder thing, i’m probably going to do that to whichever pliers I don’t Frankenstein. And I’ve been strongly considering a small pouch. something I’m looking for is a bright rechargeable flashlight which I can use as an emergency battery bank to recharge my phone so that it’s still practical to carry in the daytime.

[@carryco]

Oh nice, it would be great to see how the Frankenknipex come out once you've chosen which one to do. A good extensive pouch is definitely something that's worth carrying in my opinion. The torch idea is a brilliant one, I'm not sure I've ever seen one with that functionality before, hopefully someone brings it out.

[@scratchbuiltreplicas824]

Banaids! Great video!

[@joshuashirley7764]

The cork holder is genius 😁

[@BruceAllgire]

A replacement for the Victorinox bit ratchet could be a Prestacycle or Topeak bit ratchet. In the States, a couple other brands like the Power Torque bit ratchet sold at O'Reilly Auto Parts can be found. The Icon Bit ratchet from Harbor Freight might be preferred by some. You've got a good bit of kit there! Thanks for sharing!

[@carryco]

Hi there, Thanks very much for the suggestions for the ratchet driver replacement, I've been thinking about replacing it for a while but still can't bring myself to replace it yet, I just had a look at your suggestions and they all look perfect. Cheers

[@kermitthepog7063]

Great video, thanks.

[@user-vl8sh7ih8c]

The Spyderco in the cork is very good idea. Have you considered a Spyderco like a manbug or similar and reducing or removing the cork insert? Very nice kit, great job.

[@carryco]

I did consider a larger knife but the tolerances are so tight that the Spyderco Bug is about the largest knife that will fit, the Spyderco Honeybee would have fitted without the cork but then it wouldn't stay in position when the pouch is closed.

[@markvanover4915]

Nicely done sir! Do you have a link for the mechanical pencil? I’ve never seen one so slim. Keep up the good work..

[@carryco]

Hi there, I don't have a link but if you search 'Otho Minimo pencil' in Google you'll find it, it's a very clever little thing.

[@sofie4815]

Nice kit, loved this video. How do you make the labels? They look really nice 👍🏻

[@carryco]

Hi there, thanks very much. The labels were made with an old Roland Stika vinyl cutter which I picked up off eBay.

[@user-vl8sh7ih8c]

Clear labels for a p-touch label maker would be similar. (Black on clear. Red on clear, White on clear)

[@MrDiPY]

Cracking setup you've got there! I also carry a Maxpedition Micro organiser that I have crammed full of stuff, would love to share it with you as it may give you some ideas (as indeed your video has given me). Out of interest, what is the brand of powerbank you're using?

[@carryco]

Hi there, thanks for watching, would be great to see your set up as well, I'm always looking for ideas. The powerbank is by a brand called PowerRush but I think they've since been discontinued.

[@kan-zee]

Wonderful Tailored items for your Organizer !! You gave me some good ideas. Thanks for that. 2:16 ..The Flashlight Nitcortip SE 700 lumen...does it run on AAA batteries or a specialty battery ?? 4:14 ...I always put some duct tape over my Bic lighter triggers, to prevent the trigger from accidently being pressed in the kit. 5:27.. Excellent creative PS on the DIY cork holder that fits perfectly in the Cobra Pliers 10:33..been using regular 50 cent, paper pocket notebooks for field notes, for decades and never had an issue with rain (A simple custom cut to size ziplok baggie works perfectly)....Everyone is buying up these $30cad Rite In Rain Notebooks ...and they rarely use them...lol. It baffles me. Rhodia has a good GSM Paper. Suggestion : add a small Ziplock baggie with bandaids and a straw tube of Polysporin triple strength for a Booboo Kit. Cheers !! Happy New Year to you.

[@carryco]

Hi there, Thanks so much for the feedback and the tips, the Nitrcore has a built in LI battery which I'm able to charge using the power bank inside the kit, there is a similarly sized/shaped Royvon called the E3 which takes a AAA but it's just a touch too big for my kit. I like your recommendation for some antibiotic cream, we don't have that in the UK but I will definitely add some antiseptic to the kit if I find some room. Cheers and happy new year to you too

You can actually slip a couple longer zip ties on the inside of the bag. Going around everything slipped inside the fold of the bag. Just slip it inside yhe fold with the seam. If you understand what I mean? It wont even be seen that way. I`ve had it for several years.

[@carryco]

Yeah I get you, that's a really clever idea, I'll have a go at fitting some of those in, could be really handy. Cheers

[@168Diplomat]

Something to think about a glue stick (they do not leak and they work with a lighter) and a little bit of bank line or some spiderwire fishing line and a needle. A little bit of 25 gauge floral wire goes a long way to temporarily holding hot items. (I have used multiple wraps of it to hold up mufflers till I could get a proper part). Just somethings to think about.

[@carryco]

Some really great suggestions there, thanks. I will try and find a spot for a glue stick and some wire as those would definitely be handy additions. I have made quite a few changes to the kit since the video and it does now include some fishing line and a needle amongst many other things

[@Unclejona]

I might put tape around your spare Stanley blade, just in case

[@AndyZE123]

Really great kit you have there. Thanks for sharing. What was originally in the tin before you adopted it for battery, drugs etc.? You are a bit quiet. Your video would benefit from turning the levels up a bit. I use Levelator for the Mac.
