No, I completely agree with you. Plus that god-awful leather jeans label effect. The whole site is tacky and garbage. Right now it's like: Gilt MAN It should be like GILT no **** to better express the insecurity.

everyday carry with firestarting cotton balls in an altoids tin, cellular internet card, RealTree walkie talkie, tactical weapons, and the book of mormon - respekt; now I see what the other guy was talking about with the pockets at the office. Never know when you need to kill a ***** and burn the evidence.

Where's the matches? Lol. If that's his kit for out in the wild well good luck. That's gotta be the worst emergency kit I've ever seen.

what's sad is that this guy may have no heard of the iPhone before; his carry load could be cut in half.

I usually carry a francisca, in case I run into roving bands of Visigoths or Ninjagoths.

I actually need to EDC a portable sewing kit. I keep the needles and some thread in the coin pocket of my wallet but I need snips. Scared of becoming the leatherman to tactical weapons EDC guy, though.
