Nice little kit.....too big and you won't carry it.
Carry the things that are important to where you are, what you normally do, and perceived needs.
We just had a long discussion on EDC here a week or so....so I'm not going to re-post mine......but it here....

I use all of it every day,I started with a leatherman pst and as my responsibility grew so did my kit.
It will not get any bigger!
Also thanks for the link,gloves look great.
Survival happens daily.
When I go out into the bush, I carry the following in my left pocket:
4-5 chunks of fatwood
Ferro rod w/ striker
Mini Maglite
maybe some sort of extra tinder (wetfire or similar)
Zippo (when it gets fixed)
Phone
In my right pocket:
Multitool (old Gerber, when they were USA-made)
Folding knife (Barlow, Victorionox, Gerber, or Buck, usually)
Pens
Wallet
Keychain
I may be forgetting a couple things, but that's the bulk of it!
Here's a video I did on mine a few weeks back.

Right front pocket: SAK Officer and my key ring
Left front pocket: extra key ring with mag bar/ferro rod that came with my Esee Laser Strike
Left rear pocket: Small vinyl ziplock waterproof pouch containing a ferro rod, tinder tabs, button compass, snare wire, small Case lock blade, whistle, fishing kit, safety pins, sewing needles and dental floss. (this little kit is always with me just in case)
Thanks for posting,can we get pics?
Wingman,I just subscribed to your YouTube Chanel,thank you for all the hard work you do.

This what I have in my truck with me, it's really more of a JIC pack to take to the woods than an EDC but it travels with me just the same.

Pardon the references to my site, it's no longer at full swing.
Have several JIC packs that ride in vehicles or on woods trips.......The problem of a oversize EDC is the size......
One more thing...one more thing....and it rides...... and not carried everywhere.
I hear ya.....It's really tough to keep small and easy to carry.

I'm going to the range tomorrow, which is an hour away. With all this snow, I decided to put together another bag, in addition to my GHB to toss into the car. In my daypack, a MOLLE II assault pack, I have a fleece sleeping bag, hat, scarf, socks, rope, flashlight, tarp, Mylar blanket, knife, fire kit, water bottle, and some food. I think that it's enough to keep us warm if we get broken down. I guess that's my JIC bag.
