The I.T. Life

My tax return is coming soon so I’m going to use it to buy some new toys for the summer, help me get active. I’m going to MEC this week and picking up a nice pair of hiking boots, so that I get out more with SAR and stop complaining about my old work boots. Also going to Canadian Tire and getting a bike rack for my Jeep. A buddy of mine told me he wants to buy a bike and from that we are going out together and getting in shape. I’m going to get a bike rack to help us get where we want to go! I can’t wait!

My EDC, a Pen, a light, a knife, wallet, and phone

So I was browsing around JeepForum.com and got into a thread about “what you carry in your pocket”. Somewhere in there was a link to a site EDCForums. This is a forum where people discuss there EDC (every day carry items). This ranges from people like myself, who want to carry a good quality pen, knife, flashlight with them in there pocket/bag. Or People who are medics/cops/crazy into this, that carry multiple pens, knifes, lights, a gun or 2, first aid kits, radiation suits, whatever. I’m slowly expanding what I EDC now because of them, I’m not going full crazy, but I do like a lot of the ideas. Here is my basic EDC, I won’t ever pocket carry more than this, but will eventually have a backup of all the essentials in my backpack.

Since I bought the Jeep liberty, it’s alwayse been about going where cars usually can’t, it’s about going that little bit farther down the dirt road and the chance of more excitment. I’m starting to plan the gear I need to truly be packed for adventure. I will post with more lists as time passes, but there will be a survival list for winter, and a tech list for both working, and photography. The hope is to get this done by first snow. Wish me luck!
