EDC - What's In Your Pockets?
-
@chrisjohnnick I like the Malkoff led lamp assemblies for those. I have one for my 9Z.
-
My dudes…. I gave in and am trying out the man purse.
Too much in my pockets…although this is some weird kinda sick freedom. It’s still freedom.
Need to have all this stuff for any given moment so I’m packing it all into a black leather bag and calling it a day. Now when I lose shit I lose everything at once.

I'm carrying a lot of things in my shirt pocket these days for for work. A pen, pencil, sharpie, highlighter, and now finally decided I needed to get a pen flashlight. I usually have a larger Sure Fire in my bag, but I grabbed a Streamlight Stylus Pro in black for the pocket since I regularly need it when I'm on the fly and away from my desk.
Finally coming to terms that I may actually need a pocket protector. Open to recommendations!

@goosehd whoa yeah, you wouldn’t get me underground. No thank you. Hats off to ya mate.
I could imagine it’s hard work being down there chasing coal
I’m above ground in mechanical maintenance. Iron Ore is what they dig up.
It’s only just starting to heat up. Still 30°c at midnight though. But the 45 - 48 degree days are inbound soon. -
@Aussie-Ben …not for me either. One good advice from my Uncle was don’t get into mining. Sad fact that every year I was in school, somebody’s dad, uncle, or brother was killed in a mine related accident. Late 70’s and early 80’s. Convince you pretty quick that it was or wasn’t something you wanted to get into.

Things got quite a bit safer when they started surface mining. The other issue is that companies were horrible at paying employees…pay was great when you got paid…then they would close up the office and disappear one night. Some guys went without pay for weeks while being promised that pay was coming tomorrow…and then it didn’t.
Happened to my Uncle more times than I can count…
Hopefully mining is a bit better where you’re at! It’s a damn good job…but some shady practices around Virginia and West Virginia.

@goosehd That paints a pretty tough life of being a miner.
The industry does have a very dark past -
And present

Thank you. I was going through my “Catch All” a few moments ago and just realized I bought a Ship John brass pen recently that I need to add to the EDC.
️ i’m constantly searching for a pen so figure this would help me out. It’s pretty small. -
@northsouthdenimguy just looked at your leather keychain. I’m in Cumming right now with family for Christmas! In-laws are in Buford and sister and brother-in-law are in Cumming.

That’s cool when I first moved to Georgia over 30 years ago I lived in Cumming for about six months. My parents lived there for many years.
Dad Joke in 3 2 1…
Why does Alpharetta like living next to Cumming?
Because it’s always coming.
Edit: a little backstory on the key fob Harker Leather Works is based in Cumming Georgia he makes really cool belts and small goods. A while back on the Discord we were talking about where we live and I jokingly said that I used to be a Cumming man which I think prompted the design.
