So here's all the shizzit I feel makes a good all-around EDC load-out for your First Line Gear, and that kinda annoys me not to see my friends and neighbors carrying on them at all times "just in case" lol:
FIRST LINE EDC, (BELT, JACKET, PANTS, ETC.)
01. Money Belt (Normal looking belt with hidden zipper compartment for money, photocopies of IDs, locks picks, secret messages, etc.)
02. Wallet (You'd do best to get one with RFID blocking built into it, just in case. I hate this century lol. =P )
03. Keychain (KeyBak makes a superior retractable keychain; recently bought one; never trust a gas-station clip-on lighter leash. -_- )
04. Tactical Flashlight (I suggest the Fenix PD35 TAC bundle; it comes with the charging kit! I love rechargeable stuff & combo deals lol.)
05. Multi-Tool (The Leatherman Wave Plus is the one I use; I find it's a nice balance between super heavy-duty and practicality.)
06. Lighter (Forget about bic lighters; get a rechargeable USB Arc Lighter; it's a purely electric source of fire; get one with a keychain!)
07. Cell Phone (I prefer the iPhone 5; it was the only one I could afford, but I also like the compact size; nice balance technologically.)
08. Handgun (I like my Smith & Wesson M&P Shield chambered in 9mm hollow points; not too much kick, small size to fit female hands.)
09. Defensive Blade (I have yet to decide on one for myself. It's a tough choice between a push knife, stiletto, or karambit; never a balisong; balisongs are stupid lol.)
Another fun thing about this list is that you can find all that stuff (except the gun of course) on Amazon! It's my go-to for the Free Shipping with Prime lol.
Currently I only have seven of the items needed for my First Line Gear; belt, wallet, keychain, multi-tool, lighter, phone, and gun. I have a crappy ghetto kydex holster though that I'm getting rid of in favor of a locking leather holster that doesn't clash my fashion sense so much lol. I'm also investing in a kind sorta matching leather EDC belt organizer thingy-ma-bobber that doubles as a flashlight holster and a multi-tool pouch as well as a heavy-duty carabiner/keychain holder; I'm thinking of attaching a push dagger to the keychain portion because the other keychain is on a retractable reel, and I don't think I want my push dagger to be on a retractable reel lmao; I can see that going very wrong in the heat of the moment lmao. XD The reel is for my house/car/garage keys and my USB arc lighter; I thought about pepper spray, and found a nice keychain pepper spray with a break-away sorta mechanism; it might not look too cluttered paired with the push dagger on the EDC organizer...plus I kinda like having another option aside from beating them, stabbing them, or shooting them. I dunno though...I don't really trust pepper spray; I trust guns and knives lol.
So anyhoo, once I've collected the last few items on my wish list, my belt should look neat and tidy with an elegant splash to it. XD
Here's a link to the new money belt I'm looking at; my old one is kinda worn out and clunky looking; this ones more sleek and elegant; love the all-black buckle lol: https://www.amazon.com/Genuine-Leat...ds=leather+money+belts&qid=1609892008&sr=8-12
The EDC organizer would be towards my right-rear side, housing my flashlight, multi-tool, and push dagger: https://www.amazon.com/Gentlestache...TW87E2RD6HN&psc=1&refRID=81RYTJSDMTW87E2RD6HN
And this is the retractable keychain I got to place at my right side in front of the organizer, I got the 28" of kevlar cordage so that my lighter leash doubles as an escape tool to saw through rope, cloth, duct tape, zip ties, or flex-cuffs lol: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B005GJ668...jbGlja1JlZGlyZWN0JmRvTm90TG9nQ2xpY2s9dHJ1ZQ==
And then the pistol holster at my left-rear side, (I'm a south-paw, rawr lol), LockLeather OWB Holster
With my phone pouch on my left side: Amazon.com
So from the front, everything should look totally fine; even better with my black long coat on lol......is it AWFUL how fixated I am on the fashionable appearance of my gear? Lol. My main issue is finding stuff that matches; so far I think I've come up with my ideal first line loadout; everything comes in black and leather lmao. It took waaay too long for me to finally find something I felt was aesthetically pleasing to the human eye in the modern age lol.
And WAY too much gear out there is made almost exclusively for MEN lol; I feel marginalized; I'm a millennial lmao. =P
