EDC Contest Entry #9 Kim

Hey Folks, I am pleased to bring another entry for our EDC Contest. First we will quickly recap what is going on. The broad strokes are this. I want to share and discuss the stuff we carry around every day AKA EDC. Taking pictures of our stuff and talking about it is my goal.

The prizes will be as follows:
1st Place: 3 Sport Berkey Water Bottles donated by LPC Survival ($69 value)
2nd Place: 1 Blackhawk Holster donated by LuckyGunner.com ($50 value)
3rd Place:  1 Snare-Vival-Trap cough garote cough donated by Camping Survival ($17 value)

Wildcard: This one goes to whoever I want to give it to for whatever reason I feel like. It will be a grab bag donated by yours truly. The exact makeup is TBD depending on what I have lying around  and may include books, gear, medical stuff or even a couple silver dimes. ($30+  value)

Check out the details and my example post here. 

 Onto Entry #9

The purse is a Fossil bag, real leather, amazingly durable, which sits right up under my armpit when my feet are on any ground not owned by me. At this time, I am not a CCW holder (soon to be remedied!) so the 9mm stays home with the 12guage, which lays just under my side of the bed for home defense. The small black leather bag is actually belt-ready & holds my "PSK" items. I realize there's a LOT there...hell, I carry it 12 - 14 hours a day! It may seem a bit of overkill, but I grew up with a bunch of little sisters (no brothers) & was always having to solve their issues at the drop of a hat. Add to that the libertarian/survivalist mindset, the military connections throughout my life (daughter of the Air Force, wife of the Marine Corps & mother of the Army) & you've got yourself a fully prepared back-country redneck woman living/working in glamorous glittery Las Vegas! Below is the list of contents, starting top right:
