@kelseyhusky I don't see any sort of writing thing?

re: Putting together a good EDC equipment list. RFC 

@IrisKalmia THANK YOU!

re: Putting together a good EDC equipment list. RFC 

@kelseyhusky I can't find the name of the damn device and it is sitting on my desk at the office while I'm at the DC fighting with a cassandra node... but I inherited this nifty ipod shaped device with a flash drive LCD and thumb wheel and stripped down linux running on it that you can dump bootable ISO to and then select them and connect over usb to boot off.

It is absurdly useful and i have no idea who made it or what it is called off the top of my head. I replaced the flash drive in it with a 64GB one and tossed bootable images and installers of every flavor of *nix we use in our prod environment + finnix and gmrl for doing diagnostics and file system repair on systems without remove access.

@wobblewuffess that sounds absurdly useful and hard to search for!

re: Putting together a good EDC equipment list. RFC 

@kelseyhusky It really is and I wish I could remember what it was called :X will have to check when I'm the office on Tuesday

@kelseyhusky ALSO SHARPIES OR PERMANENT MARKERS OF YOUR CHOICE AND WHITE TAPE...

Zipties... solid multi-tool because it can have things you never expect to need but suddenly doo.

re: Putting together a good EDC equipment list. RFC 

@kelseyhusky sunscreen, perhaps?

re: Putting together a good EDC equipment list. RFC 

@tastymochafox Probably not something i need to much of, but lotion would probably be a good addition, thanks!

re: Putting together a good EDC equipment list. RFC 

@Motodrachen I'm putting one of those together too, but I want to get my normal-ops sets standardized and tested so that I'm not constantly thinking about them and trying to keep track of the contents of different bags.
