Aside from my concealed weapon and a knife (I still bless the day, many moons ago, that I realized every girl needs a knife), I have a keychain light, and in the car lives a dagger and HaloXT multi-use flashlight, first aid and ammo.

I know this is an old post, but I just got. new/good gun beltā¦ I feel like I can comfortably carry moreā¦ Iām going to look into a pouch for gloves for emergency. Yesterday I saw a bad wreck. I started to get out of my car to check on everyone, but about 5 people beat me to it [people can be awesome]. I am trained in basic first aid BUT I realized yesterday if I did need to help someone, I would not have gloves (this was brought up in another topic by someone else). Iām also considering getting a small light or knife pouch.
What Iām saying is this. A good carry belt opens amazing possibilities! It took me too long to get one.

For situations like that I have an active shooter bag. Nothing big. But a little more advanced first aid vs a boo boo kit. Some extra mags and other essentials ie chem lights, safety vest, thing to help separate me from the bad guy with a gun. I donāt carry it everyday but itās always in the vehicle

In another thread, someone asked if a jury might be influenced by a āscary lookingā modern rifle, as opposed to a more traditional looking rifle with wooden stocks.
I canāt help but think of that here. If you had to use your firearm and the prosecutor noticed that you were geared out for a road trip through Helmand Province, that might make your bad day even worse.
Wear what makes you comfortable, by all means. Just be careful that you donāt summon trouble to yourself.

Hey, Good job on a nice thick belt. Youāll love it. I think it is actually up above in this same post where I went into my EDC stuff, but yes, I carry and recommend to you a multi-tool (leatherman surge) tac light (stream light) extra mag, pistol, sometimes OC spray.
I have a trauma kit in each vehicle as well as the mules, and a box of nitrile gloves (basically for field dressing after hunts). The only thing I have occasionally thought of to include on my person would be a tourniquet out of the trauma kit as one can bleed out in 7 minutesā¦ So, a 3 min run and 3 min back to the truck to get it, along with evaluation time could be too much time to save someone.

I tried a few different belt pouches for incidentals and settled on the Maxpedition Volta battery pouch. It sits horizontally so it doesnāt interfere with sitting or driving, is small enough not to take up too much room on the belt, and just large enough to carry a few odds and ends. Right now it holds a LM Juice, lighter, mini tape measure, space pen, lip balm, bandaids, alcohol swabs, and sometimes latex gloves (need to stock back up when available).
Before that, I used a small LowePro camera belt pouch, but it was slightly larger and the zipper fobs would clang when I walked.

I have a full size van that no one else uses. Itās got more stuff in it than
Home Depo. The only thing I donāt leave in it is my EDC OR AMO. Before
I go out I lay everything on a table that will go with me. ( especially wallet
and cell phone ) put everything in a ditty bag and away I go. Although I have gone to the range to shoot a rifle, put out a target, shooting rests, rifle, water and, signed into the range and HMMM, I left my amo on the reloading
Table. ( not good but not as bad as forgetting your Wallet or cell phone )
