I carry Gerber splice.

At night I also carry a small (single AAA) flashlight.

Hiking I would carry a SOL (Survive Outdoor Longer) Origin.

That's very systematic.

But dont you carry your flashlight all the time even in the morning? Coz i think usually once we go out, it's usually from day time until night time...like during work.

And nice SOL kit...! how much u get that locally?

re flashlight - most of my workplace are pretty well lit. And I have my phone as backup. But once I arrived home and went to dinner (I'm single) then I do carry it, my flat area is still well lit, but it also helpful.

Also, I carry it everytime I went to cinema to look for my seat - ha!

re pricing - I can't remember. it's been a long time. anyway, i bought it here as they carry SOL product.

http://eco-sports.com.my/index.php?main_pa...sort=20a&page=2

but it seems Origin is out of stock (and when I purchased mine, it was last stock.)

word of advice - price hike are high right now due to RM/MYR, compared to, say, a year ago. :-(

heck, even cintiq was increased from RM 4000 to RM 4999 or more... :-(

i see. Well, so long ur happy carrying it then. But those little suckers do come handy once a while at the least expected moment.. nod.gif

Alot of tools and gears got their price increased as well due to currency conversion. Some hike are pretty low but those high ones, like the one u mentioned...that's really saddening. I wanted to get additional quikclot as spare..but on average price increases like RM20~30 a pack. What used to be RM40+ become close to RM70...and RM90+ becomes RM110+.. sad.gif

My EDC consist of:-

- flashlight (123A powered)
-a small boot knife
-necessary ID and documents
-phone
-watch (never get out without it)
-small self pack first aid
- touch n' go with some money

-odd thing that I carry is a pair of switchable sunglasses, the yellow lens comes in handy for preventing night glare from in coming headlight brows.gif

- used to carry pepper spray but got taken away by police so don't carry it now


now I am debating if I should left my knife at home or not since I travel via public transport and my place is quite dark (no street lights) and I don't have pepper spray anymore and I commute alone everyday.

any advice on this will help... sweat.gif

Is there a local dealer for these? Aren't there any issues ordering them online? No issues with customs?

walao, so good, the clipper...

well, i do carry stuffs most of the time and those stuffs are HEAVY!!! other than the usual stuffs (phone and wallets) i have:
- game console (either 3DS or psv, or both)
- notebook & stuffs (adapter, mouse and sometimes a portable hdd/ dvd R)
- misc (mixture of gaming stuffs like game cartridges, power extensions, newspapers, headsets, etc)

the whole bag would weight close to 2.6kg and it's kinda a labour for some, but... it's exercise!!!

yes cost is the main problem with edc

next is availability for quality item

the money clip i mentioned cost me RM150

im really tempted to buy a pocket knife around that price like buck nobleman or kershaw swerve but as you said bringing a knife would complicate things

so i settled for a small victorinox classic keychain for now

the money clip however does have a hidden knife a bit bigger than the victorinox for more heavy task or even self defense if it really comes to that

u bought the money clip direct from overseas?
here ppl selling rm276...zzz.

i was interested in it before, but read too many reviews of the clip holding the knife breaking.

Compulsory items

1) Handphones (the important phone, cheap non-smartphone one)
2) Car key (any car)
3) Wallet (IC, License, Bankcard)

With those 3 items, i can go anywhere near or far...


Apart from that, I also have a cheap multitool, flashlight/torchlight, and parang, which i kept in my car...
And occasionally bring it to some location...

Like previously I bring my parang in back sack to waterfall at fraser hill...due to seen a group of weird acting people there....

Oh do share about pepper spray issue as i carry one as well and so do my wife. What's the reason they confiscate? I always thought it is OK to carry pepper spray.

You can carry the knife if you want, so long it's not full-size. Coz i think most PDRM knows that ppl who carries small folder like us dont go out and rob others. Since a Parang does a better job in term of intimidation and hurting others. But of course there would be other over zealous cops that would still confiscate them. My advice, carries one..but with the lowest cost u felt it's ok to be confiscated. At least one that wont make us go hide in a corner and cry 5 mins.. nod.gif

And wat light is that? I EDC a RCR123 as well...Olight's S10R Baton..my pocket rocket.. biggrin.gif

Comparing your RM156 vs R276...that's one huge diff.

Do share your review on it once you EDC them. Wonder if it's gonna be comfy in front/back pocket?

Happy to see more EDC-er now. nod.gif

I love Fenix brand..the first reliably bright LED light i ever own! notworthy.gif
Over here, always carry the cheapest knife you can afford to lose..i only bring out my expensive knives when going hiking/camping. Else it's always a below RM200 knife. Never know the cop we're bumping in will be moody or not and proceed to a body search, lol. Though *touch wood* so far never had one....

That glowlight...how much it cost? Always wanted to get one..but always priced above RM50.. sad.gif

And you dont EDC the pepper spray during daily outing as well?

Hahaa....quickly put thee Gerber GDC to good use.. But it's missing the knife? Or it's suppose to be fully hidden like that? If it is, then indeed very low profile...defnite worth considering!

Yes there is. Check out thomastool....and if you purchase from overseas, so far i have not have any problem with Kastams. But my last purchase was easily 2yrs ago...am trying to support local as much as possible even if it is a little weeee bit more expensive. Without them, it's gonna be more difficult to get our gears. nod.gif

the glowlight was rm50, bought a couple yrs ago.
i also got the cheaper glowring firefly, but the tube so small its kinda pathetic...can sometimes be hidden by the keys rendering it useless doh.gif

the pepper spray is useful against stray dogs tongue.gif
