Hi all. Doesn't seem to be very many women who are interested in the EDC world. I'm obsessed with pocket knives, flashlights, watches, tactical pens and heavy primarily metal mechanical pencils. I love all kinds of pocket stuff. But when having to dress "professionally" for work (i.e. Slacks, skirts, etc) what are good ideas for carrying my most important EDC stuff? I currently have a maxpedition style pocket organizer that I keep my field notes and pens and flashlights and chapstick in I get tired of having to HOLD it while I'm on a job walk etc. Anyone else have this issue? And if so how do you deal? Thanks for reading. :-)

Hello !
Haveyou got a pocket organizer ? It can be a kind issue for all your stuff to carry.

Sounds like you need something like http://www.rickshawb...journal-sleeves

My suggestion would be to reduce and scale down your carry. Try to pick up items that fulfill more than one task.

Thats what I do. I have a minimalistic carry for situations when my on person carry is limited.

 

For example:

Do you really need to carry a flashlight or your phone's flashlight can do?

Do you feel comfortable using a wallet/phone case to carry ID, Cards and cash?

Are you willing to trade your dedicated folder for a Victorinox Signature, which already comes with a pen, and you can carry on your keychain?

I appreciate the feedback. The attached rickshaw above looks great but again, my issue is no pocket and no belt. So ultimately I would need something with a belt "clip" to attach to the waist of my slacks and such. It seems that all EDC pocket organizers are only meant to be slipped into a pocket and no one has considered pocketless folk such as I. I will continue on my quest...thank you.

How about something like this for your smaller items:

And this if you are carrying your notebook:

Because this one is a bi-fold I wonder if you can saddle one end on the inside of your belt.

May be something like this ?

Even if we do have pockets in our pants - they are often so small as to be worthless...it's a pet peeve.

Pockets too tight

In your original post you didn't mention you carry a purse, but it still would be "hands-free". Or a small sling? I have a canvas 5L and it sounds ideal for what you need it for.

I thought women were more into EDC than men are. Most of them I know carry a bag full of stuff around everywhere they go.

I prefer handbags.
