Here we go again…

Well we’re back again after 4 years of being away from the site. Once again I have stumbled upon the fact that I have a blog and have just realized that it’s got an actual smartphone app. I’ll probably never put another post up using it but at least there’s this. It has been a crazy 4 years with all the changes to the world. Apocalypses have come and gone. But it’s very good that I’m still here with those I love making content in some form.

Well, it’s been a while…

Wow, it’s been quite a while since I went over here and wrote anything. I know that the blog exists intellectually, but I only remember I’ve got it when I’m messing with my bookmarks. I guess I really just don’t have that much to say or post. I remember back in the days of Livejournal, I posted all the time. Now, I’m just occasionally posting on Facebook or less frequently on Fetlife, so the blog itself has gone by the wayside. I’ll have to figure out some content I can put over here to be more active.

Strange Sounds in the Arctic!

The Deep Ones are here!!!

 

My Everyday Carry (EDC) Part 3

This final entry for my everyday carry covers random items that I carry in my backpack. They are always with me when I have my backpack, that also contains the small bag from the previous post.

My Everyday Carry (EDC) Part 2

My second entry in the everyday carry series covers a small pouch I put together that holds a lot of items. I carry this pouch in my backpack, and it’s small enough that I can transfer it to another container, or just carry it in a cargo pocket if I want to. I actually want to upgrade this to a slightly bigger pouch to hold a little more stuff, but this is what I started with. The pouch itself is a Maxpedition Mini Pocket Organizer. You can see below the front and back of the pouch, on the back I’ve affixed the belt clip for the Minimalist Bowie neck knife from my previous post in case I want to change it’s carry style on the fly.

Part 3

Next we have the inside view of the pouch, showing how things fit in. It’s got several strips of elastic banding to hold items in place. One of the reasons I want to upgrade is that this pouch is only about 1/2 deep, and the items I have in here stretch it out a bit. This stretch isn’t a problem for the Maxpedition bag, as they are designed to do this, but it makes it a bit hard to store in some instances.

Next I’ll show each item, with links to them if they exist, as some of these are so old I don’t remember where they came from. A lot of the items I carry in this kit are back ups / larger versions of the items I carry every day in my pockets anyway.

Yarn needles, these are great to use as small probes or to hit reset switches on electronic equipment.
