When your gear list outweighs the capacity of your pockets, it’s time to find an alternative way to carry the things you insist on bringing along. PocketUp has a great solution with its Gale Lumbar Pack, especially when you customize it with some of the company’s other great accessories.
BRINGING ALL THIS?
I prefer to think of EDC as being expandable according to the situation because every day isn’t the same. So, if I’m going hiking, for instance, I will carry what I like to call EDC Plus. I will have my standard EDC items—knife, flashlight, lighter, handgun, spare ammo, cell phone, keys, and wallet.
But then I will add more outdoor specific gear to it. It’s EDC Plus: my usual EDC items, plus the things I need for the day’s special circumstances and special activities. You might have a special EDC Plus lineup for when you go for a bike ride or when paddling your kayak around a lake. You get the idea.
So if my EDC Plus gear won’t fit in my pockets, what is the best way to carry it all? I’m learning more about PocketUp, a small company that has many answers to that question. PocketUp makes an array of outdoor gear, from small, zippered organizer pockets to full-size packs and everything in between.
CUSTOMIZE IT
A great thing about PocketUp is that the company sells its American-made packs and pockets as separate items. That means you can choose the products to outfit your kit exactly the way you want. You don’t have to compromise by choosing a pack that might fit well but comes up short with its selection and location of pockets and compartments.
