New to edc forums but long time EDC’er

[admin]

I’ve lurked here a little so decided to join because the EDC items I see posted here are just amazing. Always learning new or better items based on these threads not to mention some of the gear just blows me away.

I’m almost 56 years old but have lived by the Boy Scout motto of “Be Prepared” since I was a child so I guess you could say I have been an EDC’er for a very long time like almost 50 years, although the goodies I carry got better every year with age. I started with small Ray-O-Vac flashlights and Case or Old Timer knives along with a hand me down Elgin watch back in the 60’s as a child which were always with me. My Mother could never get over my fascination with lights & knives as a child. Move forward to today, my taste in watches are Rolex, Omega, and early Luminox watches which I just love. Knives are various but my favorite folders are ZT, DPX, Southern Grind Bad Monkeys, and Benchmades, just got a Hinderer so time will tell on that. Fixed Blades, I’m all ESEE, I have one of everything in their line-up I think except the Laser Strike. And oh, I love Zippo’s and Fisher military space pens, cheap but simple & always work!! Recently fascinated by Lenslight flashlights and TAD Gear.

I’ve been in the telecom industry as a manager for almost 30 years. Plan to retire just after I reach the 30 year mark in January 2017, and probably retire no later than June next year so I’m trying to purchase some long time wanted items before I retire. I live in North Georgia & will probably remain here unless I can talk my wife into moving to the Florida panhandle, which is not likely to happen but you never know. Been long winded on this so I’ll close by saying looking forward to now being a member here
