This is my EDC survival kit that I carry on me everywhere I go. The pouch is a Tactical Tailor E/E pouch and the dimentions are roughly, 7" x 4" x 2". There are about 5 different pockets in a couple different sizes. I carry quite a bit in here and I'm able to keep it pretty well organized. Even though it's about 2"thick, it expands to about 3" when you stuff it full of things. I usually carry it in the cargo pocket of my shorts / pants, or I can also carry it on my belt by stringing it through the malice clips. I also carry a Bug Out Bag with me every time I leave the house with a lot more items in it. Since my pack just gave up the ghost, all the items are in a box until I get a new pack. When I get a new pack I'll post my BOB up then.

Here a few pics of the pouch:

Here are my EDC blades. I usually have my Izula and ZT folder with me. If I'm going to be up in the Sierras sometimes I'll carry my RC-4 instead of the Izula.

Whoa...a kit within a kit!

You might not be able to effectively get your 50' of duct tape on the two Bic lighters, but to make better use of room in my kit I've wrapped some tape around Bics. If I had to guess I've got about 3" on my mini Bic.

Those CountyComm/Maratac AAA lights are amazing. I've got my second one arriving Monday for inclusion in a kit.

I'll agree with The Government (the member here...not THE Government...;) )...a SAK is something to consider. The ability to turn a screw or use a saw can sometimes make a big difference. Some even come with a decent pair of pliers for small stuff, the Mechanic model I think, that isn't big at all. If you remove two of those AAA batteries you'd have your room right there.
 
I forgot to add that I do carry a Leatherman Wave with me on my belt everyday. Thanks for the input guys!
 
That's the most comprehensive kit for that size I've ever seen, by a long shot. Well done! :thumbup:
 
Maybe some instant coffee so you can relax after you get your fire started! Nice kit.
 
Very niiice. I could look at pics of kit all day. Always fun because someone ALWAYS has something you hadn't thought of!
 
sweet setup - i tend to carry my kit in more than one pouch/pocket to spread the load but thats a smart single pouch set up
 
I have both the horizontal and vertical TT E&E Pouches, they're excellent as stand alone pouches or attached to a pack.

Nice kit you have!
