The Best Everyday Carry Pouch Organizers
Assembling a comprehensive EDC is only half the battle. How you carry your gear matters more than you may think. Sure, pocket clips and lanyards make carrying things a little easier, but they don't always stop them from bouncing around in your pocket. What if you need to carry more than just a knife, wallet, and flashlight? Where does it all go?
For example, your first aid kit. It typically contains a lot of small, loose items. But when an emergency arises you're going to want to know exactly where everything is. Or, maybe you just switch bags a lot and always end up forgetting your flashlight or something. It definitely helps to have everything in one place.
