Next month, my girlfriend and I are planning to move from the Southern tip of the Lone Star State to my home state, the Show Me State --- Missouri. To commemorate the move, I want to see one picture of your EDC setup! Show Me what you carry on an everyday basis!RULES: ~Submit one (1) tasteful digital photograph of YOUR Every-Day Carry setup. ~Post the picture to your profile or to the appropriate photo album. -- http://www.zombiesurvivalwiki.com/photos/album/203584/July+2012+%22Show+Me%22+EDC+Photos -- ~Picture must contain substantive proof that the image is *your* property. There are no set requirements for entries, but those that are not up to snuff will be rejected until they meet this requirement. ~Every item must be legal to carry in your area, and your entry photo must contain things that you ACTUALLY carry on your person or keep accessible on a day-to-day basis. ~Contest entries will be accepted from July 1st to July 30th. No exceptions. Entries posted sooner than 7/1/12 or after 7/30/12 will not be accepted. ~This inner will be determined by VOTE, sent to me (LJ126) via PM. ~Voting will begin July 31st, and last until August 6th. ~The only people eligible to vote are site members who have participated in the contest. If you want to participate in the vote, submit an entry. ~You may not vote for yourself or your own entry. ~The contest host (LJ126) reserves the right to amend or adjust the rules of the contest throughout next month as necessary and to accept or deny any entry for any reason. This contest is just for fun. At this point, I have not planned any prizes yet. That could very well change throughout the month. There are no gear requirements in the contest; you don't need anything specific to be eligible. There are no age limitations either. Show Me whatcha got! ~LJ 10 out of 10 found this valuable. Do you?

Here's my example entry. This is exactly what I took with me to the grocery store a few hours ago. I didn't include my screen name since it's ineligible anyway, but all other participants MUST do so to be eligible for voting! Don't be afraid to get creative either.High Resolution: http://image.wetpaint.com/image/1/LLpLMeM8w6st0lfpJ9W26g54401 NYFD ball cap, black Ironman sunglasses Ruger P89 in Old Faithful IWB holster Green paracord bracelet Timex Expedition watch Wallet Waterproof "Survival wallet" Chewing gum Keys, with AAA Maglite Solitaire and USB flashdrive Energizer penlight Victorinox "Tinker" Kershaw "Barrage" A few notes: I like the hat because it says "I'm a good guy" without risking being confused for an LEO. If I had to defend myself using that CCW gun, that might help keep me from being shot by a responding police officer, who could mistake me for a bad guy. And there's no risk of being confused with a New York firefighter down here in the RGV. And yes, I actually CCW that chunky Ruger P89. It doesn't bother me at all and it conceals very well. The holster is wonderful. I'm working on a review for you all soon, and maybe even a discount code for active site members. Click the link on our homepage for more info on the holster. The survival wallet contains some very basic first aid stuff (bandaids, alcohol/iodine wipes, moleskin, NSAIDS, etc.), sanitizing hand wipes, matches, a credit-card survival tool, important contacts list (should my phone take a dive), the rubber bands from asparagus, elasticy cords, tape, and some other stuff. In a self-defense situation, I could throw it at someone trying to rob me and either run, follow it up with a flurry of strikes, or if warranted, a swift armed response. 5 out of 5 found this valuable.

Side note, I occasionally carry pepper spray when I'm carrying a bag but I didn't include it because I rarely use bags so I don't have the pepper spray with me "every day". Come on guys, show LJ your stuff. 2 out of 2 found this valuable. Do you? |

I'm slightly confused, do you want just the stuff I have in my pockets/on my belt or do you also want the stuff in my EDC BoB that I take with me to work and leave in the car most of the time?

"I'm slightly confused, do you want just the stuff I have in my pockets/on my belt or do you also want the stuff in my EDC BoB that I take with me to work and leave in the car most of the time?"Do you carry the BOB/EDC? I think this is just what you carry on your person. Do you find this valuable? |

"I carry it with me to work and church, I leave it in the car when I'm other places."I listed my EDC pack because it goes everywhere with me, work, car etc...I would say that qualifies, I take my Sig everywhere but sometimes because of laws and the property I might be entering I have to leave it in the car but it's still my EDC pistol right?

"I listed my EDC pack because it goes everywhere with me, work, car etc...I would say that qualifies, I take my Sig everywhere but sometimes because of laws and the property I might be entering I have to leave it in the car but it's still my EDC pistol right?"Portable backpacks, messenger bags, gas mask bags, purses, etc, all count as EDC for the purposes of this photo contest - provided it and the gear contained within it is easily accessible to you throughout the day. For instance, let's say that I worked in an office but kept my EDC stuff in a messenger bag at my feet in a cubicle, or locked in a locker - that would count, even if I didn't have anything in my pockets. The same kit in one's car would also count, provided that the car isn't in a parking garage two city blocks away, as that is no longer easily accessible. Do you find this valuable? |

"I have to ask - where do you keep the first aid kit?"In the Purse, of course. All 3 kits o in seperate pockets and have several uses. The purse itself is my primary weapon. XD that sunovabitch weighs a ton! Do you find this valuable? |
