This is what I carry everyday, some may carry more but this has served me well.

Ill will have to watch it when I get home, internet at the local library is horrid. I am a recovering gear commando and I am working on carrying just the basics needed to get to a bigger/better situation. Look forward to watching this.

I am a recovering gear commando. Me too. I have ALWAYS toted far more than most situations required. Just ask my classmates whose pencil case was stuffed to the point that it was hard to zip shut. Nowadays I tend to hang pens off the neckline of whatever I'm wearing. The kids know why (I like variety) and no long ask about the quantity (usually a minimum of 8). I like that moniker "recovering gear commando". May I never recover!

I think that's cool but remember this, Make sure the knowledge you carry in your head exceeds or at least matches the gear you carry

Thanks for posting. As you were going through it I was impressed with the pockets available. Is that a standard wave pouch? I think the trick to any carry kit is that you are comfortable carring it so that you will. Having everything fit means you will carry it more.
Like a CCP, why do people get one and not carry? 9 times of of 10 it will be because the weapon they pick to carry is uncomfortable or too big.
I like jute too like you sead fluff it up and light it up, it doesn't take up space or weigh anything. But I buy jute because it has a stat burn rate, meaning a foot of it will take very near the same time frame to burn down everytime. I also started carring a wax ear plug. I have tons of them since I have to wear them in the shower or pool. They smash down to any shape and you can use the whole thing or pinch a piece off.
I have to carry an epi pen and nitro so I had to modify a pouch with more room.Also carry a couple pieces of hard candy if my blood sugar goes down. I am using a gernade pouch right now, it gives me three pockets, fits on my belt and has a drawstring top.
I also carry a small flashlight, a John Wayne and a whistle on my dog tags.

I believe it is, i don't like the newer pouches for the wave. My pouch has four pockets which makes it nice to carry other items. Your right woodyz some people carry way to much and it may depend on there skill level. If you carry a Bic and can't get a fire started then all that extra fire prep people carry is useless. I like the ear plug idea woodyz and the gernade pouch would work great
