M/30/ Dad who keeps finding new toys to tinker with

This EDC loadout leans heavily into preparedness and technical interests, specifically demonstrated by the inclusion of the Meshtastic device. The aesthetic is functional and utilitarian, prioritizing tools over style. It's a well-considered kit for someone interested in off-grid communication and having robust cutting tools readily available. The combination of a fixed blade, a Swiss Army Knife, and a powerful flashlight suggests a focus on versatility and self-reliance.

Pros

The quality of the items is high. The Esee Izula is a well-regarded fixed blade known for its durability, and the Victorinox Climber is a classic, reliable multi-tool. The Convoy S6 is a popular choice for its brightness and customization options. The Meshtastic device adds a unique capability for localized, off-grid communication, which is a significant advantage in certain situations. The paracord lanyard on the Meshtastic is a nice touch for retention and potential utility.

Suggestions

While the loadout is strong, it lacks some everyday convenience items. A dedicated writing instrument (pen/pencil) and a small first-aid kit would be beneficial additions. The two knives overlap somewhat in function; while both are useful, consider if both are necessary for your typical day. A wallet or method for carrying cash/cards is also absent. Finally, consider a pocket clip or sheath for the Victorinox Climber for more secure carry.
