Figured we could start discussing Tom's videos here to offer our viewpoints on them, so I guess I'll get it started with his latest.

My EDC (and the reasons I carry them) consists of a G20SF and/or a G29SF (firearms are self explanatory) with 2 spare mags minimum, a 3.5" boot knife (I work on towers a lot and wanted the ability to cut myself loose from lines if I got tangled in an awkward position) , a work knife (more a tool than a weapon), a SOG multi-tool (again, more of a tool), an ASP Airweight Baton 16" (primary protection against 4 legged critters and gives me an option for an impact weapon) and an ASP Key Defender (gives me a non-lethal option for defending myself).

Before anyone gets in a tizzy about the hardware I carry, let me preface it by saying I spend a large part of my day either working at remote locations on mountains or inside less than desirable homes (druggies and dealers, gang bangers, and other criminals) as part of my job. I've chosen my system to give me the most flexibility in dealing with a threat while defending myself.
