Very nice EDC. Good to know I'm not the only one with a larger-than-pocket-sized everyday carry. You keep calling that bag a backpack (two-strap), when it's a sling (single strap). Slings are the best EDC, because they can be carried at the side, over the shoulder, or slung in front for quick access.
@Saiarts_yt4 жыл бұрын
I also have a EDC kit even if I'm a artist and a avid illustrator. Similar to what you have but in a creative approach. like making paper pouches (enforcing them by using duct tape to stop the moisture soaking into the paper). I also make my basic first aid using construction paper (for a smaller pouches) and a container or red pencil pouch. I also carry a sniper veil (in england scrim net) for utility cloth but using it as a beach towel. Then for a backpack of choice I have REI trail 25 unisex backpack (in black) for simplicity and adaptability. I can use it for hiking, rucking, and for any activities.
