Amit, I agree this is a cool and interesting topic, but also one that makes me a little apprehensive, since I already spend way too much time thinking about bikes in the manner of a connoisseur rather than just a rider, and if my interests expand to other EDC-type things like cameras, knives, flashlights, multi-tools, watches, pens, etc., I am really going to be in trouble in terms of doing any actual work. That said, toys and tools are fun and useful, and all work and no play made Jack the dull boy, so I hope this thread will grow. I suppose the way to go is, just like with bikes, to do some research up front and establish a good EDC kit made up of quality gear, and then be content with it and resist the urge to constantly "upgrade". The challenge is to admire and not covet.
How do you like your Canon S100? I just got a S95 on sale before Christmas and of course the photos I have taken with it completely blow away the ones I was taking with my cell phone before. I also get a fair amount of use out of my Opinel knife, which I purchased after a discussion on the iBOB list a few months ago. I agree that it meets the definition of "BOBish." I maintain, however, that a tamahagane wakizashi would be just as useful and far more dashing, and I may yet switch to that for my EDC blade. - David G, Madison WI On Wed, Jan 25, 2012 at 11:18 AM, Amit Singh <asd...@gmail.com> wrote: > I'm reposting this with hopes of greater response because it's a cool > and interesting topic. > > This subject of 'every day carry' is one of which I've been slightly > obsessed. > > Here is a link to an image of my EDC, and a list: > > http://www.flickr.com/photos/amisingh/6760998841/ > > - Bandana (serves as handkerchief) > - Opinel No. 6 knife > - Lip Ivo > - iPhone 4 carried in Col.
