Top 3 used EDC: Phone, cash (or card), car keys.
Top 3 potential EDC: Knife, torch, flint.
I have the slimmer Fatboy as well, but the wife tidied up, and it's vanished...at the moment.
My BOB is really small, Osprey...can't think what make. I'll have to check this out later for you.
BOB is Quaser model of Osprey bag.

I don't have an EDC set out. If it is a gym day i will use a moab 10 with gym clothing in and my usual addition of Ipod Phone (built in torch) and cash. I am rarely far from home enough to need a get home kit either

Have you tried using your glasses as a fire starter?

I have 3 BOBs generally ready to go, the first is a small compact get home roll which I made myself, which goes in my normal bag for gym which is more of a GHB, A car emergency/travel BOB which is a Molle knockoff and blue so it looks more like a regular bag for when visiting family away and a full set 75L full pack which is tigerstripe camo (just to annoy my Birdwatching mates) and tent set which is used for my field studies and birdwatching, but they all contain similar stuff just in varying sizes and amounts, but they all contain First Aid kit (as you never know when someone will need help), MR bars, Multi tool, Glass punch, Knife and fire starting kit and poncho.
Although when traveling in on motorways I do tend to also take my full Rugby first aid kit which is very well stocked as it has come in very handy twice when I've been able to give life saving first aid to multiple people in 2 separate pile up events in the last 5 years saving at least 4 lives

I'm just about to start a new thread on a car first aid kit. I'd be interested in knowing what is in this one.
