    In the U.K. EDC is limited, I carry a picture of a knife, my keys, my phone and a picture of a glock 19 (pixelated of course) and 3 pictures of extended mags. This may still be ILLEGAL

    I started wearing g shocks back in the early 80's. I lost one at the end of summer canoeing. The next year we were in the same area and one of the alarms I had set went off. I found it and put another band on it. I figured if it made it through the Alaskan winter it was good enough. That same watch served me well through my diving and pile driving until about 2000 when I replaced the beat up turd. I found it again a few years back in a bolt can, still kicking. I might see if I can find that thing to see if it still works.

That one has had so much wear that you couldn't make out ant markings on it. I stopped wearing it because it was so beat up. But it ALWAYS worked. I'm pretty sure that one is still around here in a bolt can or something. I would put money on it working if I find it.

I also highly reccomend taking a FAST course if they're available in your area. Most are only a day class on weekends and give the basics of first aid care for varying situations.

Your hand is most likely not going to cause pain or discomfort when you push someone back, but the small surface area of a flashlight or front of a gun with a compensator is going to be painful when jammed up against someone. This has the benefit of keeping the slide from being pushed back and rendering the gun unable to fire when you really need it to. This particular point is what they were discussing

    Been using a ratchet belt from Mission Belt for about 2 years now and other than some finish rubbing off the buckle it has been amazing. Strong enough to hold a large handgun, holster, and 2 mags in a pouch for competitions and super easy to adjust. 1/4in adjustments give me tons of room to find the perfect readjustment after that double meat burrito too.

    I love the Wave! A friend gave me one years ago and I've worn it ever since. It was my first EDC besides a cell phone. I love my G Shock! I got the non shiny screws so it wouldn't reflect or have holes in it. On the outside of the arm it's like having a very small buckler strapped.

    With the option of the light on the gun. I've always been taught that a stressful situation if another person's firing back at you the first thing that they're going to aim for it is that light. It's not that they really mean to it's just instinctual.I didn't quite believe it until I was put through a scenario and I can understand where they're coming from. Just a little something. Keep up the good work like a rockstar!

    Best tactical watch I've come across in 20 years is from NITE watches in the UK. 300m depth, lightweight polymer with quartz crystal glass, basically unbreakable. Battery lasts up to 10 years, fully tritium so visible any time of day or night. Straps are often not great but easily replaced with something more durable.

    During the winter months, I add a compact Mylar blanket to my EDC. It's smaller than an empty wallet and better for nothing if I get stuck away from home. I walk 15miles to work every day, so getting stuck in the weather is always a concern of mine. Severe bleeding can also affect one's natural temperature regulation. In some cases, keeping the injured person warm can help prevent shock.

    Regarding watches I prefer to always have an analog face or a combination face as analog hands can act as a compass. If you can determine the sun's direction hold your watch level with the hour hand pointed at the sun. The 12 (or 1 during DST) will point south (or North in the southern hemisphere). It's more complicated close to the equator and, of course, it won't work if your watch is too far off actual local time but it's better than no compass at all.

    When you are building your edc loadout, build it for your personal needs. Carry what you will use often, and for your self defense, carry what you will most likely need in a self defense scenario. Also consider this golden rule - Don’t use anything that will ruin your EVERYDAY carry just to have a tiny advantage on the day you hope never comes.
    Some examples:
    As cool as multi tools are, I PERSONALLY never need one, so I just carry my knife.
    I don’t carry a med kit but I seriously need to bc bleeding will kill, and being able to save a life is just as important as being able to take one.
    Lastly, I carry water, a hat, a rain jacket, the list goes on and I use all of it so I carry a backpack. If you only have a gun, a phone, and your keys, however, you have zero need for a backpack (not considering the growing want for armor)
