Hi Spandex228
Sounds like a pretty good kit.
I used to have a similar system to you, but got annoyed at always walking around carrying my bag. I'm not the most agile guy on earth and having a bag with me at all times didn't help when looking at plates and glasses in Debenhams haha.
I have since reduced my EDC into the categories I see most likely and need most assistance with.
1. Protection.
This is where knives and the alike come in.
2. Weather.
Jackets, and wearing the correct clothing. Usually I'll have a waterproof, but if the weather isn't looking too bad, I risk not having one.
3. Sustenance.
This is just water and food. Not carrying it with me always as I like to have a big meal before I go out and we can survive days without food and water. Have a keyring tin opener if need be.
4. Contacts.
Mobile phone. Use to carry change for a pay phone, but I don't have many people that I'm inclined to call.
5. Sundries.
Money, Wallet, Keys (keyring it a damn good thing to 'stealth EDC'), Lock picks, pens, torch.
That's about it mate. As for first aid, I need to put together a new mini FAK. Was working on one, but got distracted by moving house. Will be putting a new one together soon. Will be getting some quick clot stuff off Beardy.
