EDC Made Easy

James Burnette 222 Comments
I had an idea to make edc simple and streamlined but subtle. I didn’t want to be sporting around a Batman utility belt. I also didn’t want to got the fanny pouch route.

My solution give you the ability to carry a few extra items that you need everyday.I’m still working out the kinks and on the items that work best but I’ll go ahead and share what I have so far.

For its small size it puts out an incredible 180 lumens. The PT 2L runs off of two CR123A Lithium batteries.
