The Kizer Varatas is pretty astounding for my first titanium framelock. Dangling from the Alpaka Modular Sling is a Fidget Things Switch. As the name implies, it houses a mechanical keyboard switch for fidgeting. The sling is pretty great for a compact carry off body.

phone: Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra

pen: Pilot G-2 .07

earbuds: Tozo T6

USB drives: Samsung USB-C 64GB and 256GB

knife: Gerber EAB Exchange a blade

wallet: Chums Surfshort Wallet

The 64GB drive is setup with Ventoy and has a ton of bootable ISO files on it.

The 256GB drive is encrypted and has a copy all of my files. (not including files that could be easily reproduced, like movies and music)

The Leatherman nylon sheath with pockets is absolutely perfect for my needs, but I can't stand that you have to feed a belt through it.

Has anyone found a way to convert the belt loop to a clip?

I just browsed through the top 100 posts or so here and you guys have amazong stuff that I've often didn't ever seen in my life but nobody has a phone or a USB drive. I feel like this community is from 50 years ago. Or is there an actual reason?

I've been carrying a little packet of cough lozenges in my pocket for a while, because I will need them at the randomest times, but the package is getting a little beat up now. I'm worried it might rip open at some point.

What do you use to carry them around?

Nothing particularly original, but it's mine, so here goes.

• Earfun Free 2: good for listening to podcasts on the go.
• House keys: well, duh.
• Olight imini: handy and really tiny flashlight.
• Mini push dagger: oldest thing in there, got it more than 20 years ago. Says "United" & "Taiwan" on the sheath, so it likely is from United Cutlery.
• Kershaw Launch 11: my current all-time favorite pocket knife. Small enough to fit in a 5th pocket (but not "deep-carry"), yet handles really well with my not-too-meaty hands.
• Bellroy Card Sleeve Black: small enough to keep credit cards and such in regular pants' front pockets.
• Zippo Lighter Spectrum: really a fidget toy for me since I do not smoke, so pretty though !
• Kleenex mini pocket tissues: the runny nose unwavering companion.

Not on picture: Samsung Galaxy S20 with a Spigen Tough Armor case.

not this exact model though it looks the same, visually. really useful to have portable storage wherever I need it.

My Orbitkey was beginning to fray since I've had it for over five years. I made a replacement for the old canvas from 5 oz veg-tan leather. I've had my old wallet for a year and half. It was the first thing I ever made and I've never been completely happy with it. It worked well enough but there were small details that always bothered me. This week I made a new wallet from ~4 oz veg-tan leather and gave it some color. I was originally aiming for a sage green but I still need more practice dyeing which means it's now a dark green. I decided to wet form my pen into the front pocket of the wallet so it's less likely to fall out. I'm very pleased.

Hi all,

I'm looking for an edc sling that will have a compartment for the galaxy tab s8 plus. I see the tomtoc 7L MIGHT be able to, but it might not also. I can't find a clear answer.

Tablet Dimensions 285 x 185 x 5.7 mm (11.22 x 7.28 x 0.22 in) Weight 567 g (Wi-Fi), 572 g (5G) (1.25 lb)

Thank you

• Holt Haptic
• Sigma Customs Corvus
• Nottingham Tactical TiButton YKnott
• Frederique Constant Manufacture Classic

This is what I carry 90% of the time.

Ok it’s a wish list but I’m trying to check all boxes.

• slim design
• card ejector mechanism
• AirTag integrated without a massive unsightly bump
• MagSafe connection to iPhone
• brown or black leather (optional but preferred over metal)
• price $120 max

I haven’t found any options yet which check all boxes.

I am a father to a preschool age kid and frequently travel on airlines. This kit is meant to all fit in the tin allowing me to put it in my pocket along with some keys and I'm good to go. The bandages and sewing kit are for playground accidents and the shout wipe is for airport food accidents.

In the front two exterior pockets, the sewing kit fits in on the left and the Knipex fits in the right.

It's basically a mini commonly used hardware and medication pouch. I use fishing line for sewing in situations where I need strong thread, and I have various size needles in there too. The Altoids Smalls tin has a few of my most commonly used medication for me and my family. The Rolaids are for my heartburn unfortunately.

Here are my needs:

Budget friendly under 45 euro (flexible on that)

Good battery life

Decent durability

relatively high maximum brightness.

Nice to have:

Multiple settings

USB rechargeable battery

I was recommended the sofirn sp35 before

Switched everything for orange versions for fall. Just got the Mighty Hank and am really liking it, definitely feels nicer and more personal than carrying just a normal glasses lens wipe, adds a bit of personality to it lol.
