Things I never leave my mom’s basement without
Our Take

This EDC loadout leans heavily into preparedness and self-reliance, with a clear focus on defensive capabilities. The inclusion of a firearm, extra magazine, and high-lumen lights suggests a concern for personal safety and potential adverse situations. The tools present indicate a desire for problem-solving and repair capability. The inclusion of non-traditional items like the figurine and pickle adds a unique, personal touch, hinting at a complex individual. The overall aesthetic is practical and utilitarian, prioritizing function over form.

Pros

The quality of the items is generally high. The Sig P365 XL, Surefire light, and Spyderco knife are all reputable brands known for their reliability and performance. The Wera Tool Check Plus is an excellent, comprehensive tool kit. Having an extra magazine is a smart move for anyone carrying a firearm. The inclusion of a high-lumen light like the Surefire X300 is a significant advantage in low-light situations.

Suggestions

While comprehensive, the loadout could benefit from a few additions. A dedicated first-aid kit, even a small one, would be a valuable addition. A more robust method of carrying the extra magazine (e.g., a dedicated pouch) would be more secure and accessible. The "extra food" (pickle) is unconventional and may not be the most practical choice for sustained energy. Consider a more shelf-stable option. A pen and small notepad could be useful for quick notes or information gathering. Finally, while "Good Intuitions" are valuable, they don't fit into a physical EDC list!
