Things with Character: EDC of a Blackpack Flex Bag Owner

I’m sending you my EDC for the blog, since I’m a fan of your products and couldn’t resist the opportunity to share what I carry in my Blackpack.

I also consider myself like-minded with Sashko—I’d say I’ve been inspired by him in many things and even in life philosophy, so personal thanks for that.

To the point.

Actually, I don’t carry all of this with me constantly—it depends on the situation.

1. Flexbag, came to replace EDC 1 because I wanted to try the new material and move away from the “tacticool” style. It’s really great in terms of convenience and organization, lightweight, everything just as I imagined. The only thing I’d like to add is another carabiner on the strap (the same as for keys) in the second pocket of the outer compartment, so I could clip my wallet.
2. The Blackpack wallet itself. Replaced a heavy and bulky classic leather wallet. Format-wise, it’s exactly what I need.
3. AirPods in a silicone case. Well, that’s obvious.
4. All-weather notebook—Rite in the Rain. Don’t always carry it, sometimes it just sits there just in case. Not exactly a very necessary item. But just as a cool feature—it’s neat and also convenient format-wise. Made in the USA.
5. Fisher Space Pen. Again—I rarely write, I just like the body design more, this particular brass version that develops a patina; it can also write underwater and in other harsh conditions. Haven’t tested it myself, but I believe it)—from the buy it for life category, I like that concept. Although in Ukraine, any item you have with you can become that)) well, that’s a topical joke.
6. Leatherman Charge+ black. I also have a custom bit holder from Zhovtok and bits from Epicenter by Toptul. Much better than the flat ones, actually functional. Yesterday I assembled a table with them. Didn’t even take out my big tool set. But that was more of a test drive. Of course, it’s more convenient to do such work with full-size tools. This is more just a backup for when you need it here and now.
7. Garmin Fenix 7X Pro Sapphire Solar Titanium watch with MIP display. I also have a bike mount for it, use it with a heart rate monitor as a bike computer. Got it on sale when the 8 series came out. Always dreamed of buying one with a titanium band, looks great in my opinion, close to classic watches. Functionality-wise, it still fully satisfies me. Let’s see what the 9 series brings.
8. Microtech Glykon knife, front-opening automatic, a thing for the soul. Body is aluminum + titanium, blade is M390, coating is their signature Apocalyptic. Looks great and also very practical. And overall, the knife is very sharp and has character. I love things like that, with character.

Bought it in memory of my dad, before certain events; for some reason I think that if he had the opportunity, he would have bought me one too.

9. Titanium comb from Lviv craftsman Calti.
10. Zippo Armor Original. Unpolished brass body, similar to the very first Zippos, thicker. I don’t smoke, just a cool item also from the BIFL category. Sometimes I light a burner with it for making coffee outdoors. Even though I have to refill it each time, that’s also part of the authenticity).

Well, that’s about it.

Thanks for your attention, I hope you like my EDC.

Thank you for making quality Ukrainian products.

Wishing you continued growth and all the best!
