== Lamy Safari ==


'''Brad Dowdy:''' got a lot of Lamy safaris it's a little too large

'''Myke Hurley:''' it's too big again it's a fountain pen it's also a little flimsy

'''Brad Dowdy:''' it's a little large but someone mentioned Adam Young mentioned the Pilot Pettit One it's a fountain pen but it's really small it's about twice the width of a space pen or maybe three times the width but it's about the same length so I don't know that's an interesting choice yeah lots of retracts what else we got oh okay this pencil wasn't on my radar and I still wouldn't choose it over the Rotring 600 but the Pentel carry now I didn't put a link in the show notes but I've reviewed !

'''Brad Dowdy:''' compact size it's called the Pentel carry sharp I believe I'll have to look it up and get you the link or you can pull it up that's a really good call Justin Ranallo on Twitter that one I thought was really cool good one to bring up and lots of Twisby's lots of Twisby minis Uniball Jetstreams Zebra F701 so this is good Pentel

'''Myke Hurley:''' sharp drafting pencil

'''Brad Dowdy:''' no what was it called carry k-e-r-r-y

'''Myke Hurley:''' k-e-r-r-y I was spelling carry

'''Brad Dowdy:''' yeah sorry

'''Myke Hurley:''' there goes an alarm clock

'''Brad Dowdy:''' oh my word time to wake up

'''Myke Hurley:''' wow

'''Brad Dowdy:''' time to make the donuts

'''Myke Hurley:''' oh dear that's set for tomorrow morning oh gave me a heart attack my alarm clock is so loud is it tomorrow morning already it might as well be oh

'''Brad Dowdy:''' thought maybe it was UPS oh this is awesome the the Pentel sharp carry link is broken on my site

'''Myke Hurley:''' that's not I've got it here

'''Brad Dowdy:''' okay you got it yeah oh I just hit one internal okay good so yeah that's a good call on the pencil

'''Myke Hurley:''' yeah

'''Brad Dowdy:''' and uh lots of pilot vanishing points you know that's a good durable fountain pen I actually hesitated to put that on there honestly because it's a little expensive and you know you kind of got to be careful about those things you know I don't want to just like totally butcher it and destroy it but you know that's that's maybe just me not everyone thinks the same way I do the Midori brass bullet pencil which Andy Wilfel sent to me I think is a good call it's a durable woodcase pencil holder but it goes into a compact size I really like that pen pencil it actually comes in a ballpoint pen version but the pencil version is the way to go plus it's one of the coolest looking pencils out there I think and then you know a couple people said hey what about paper and I didn't really have anyone come up with anything besides field notes and don't paper memo books I didn't see anything interesting some people use you know just some standard you know some general stuff but nothing like earth shattering as far as paper goes which I guess is okay I mean I think the field notes and don't paper are pretty well integrated into people's back pockets by this point right I don't know what else you're going to do there to be perfectly honest I mean there's obviously things but when we're talking everyday carry I think you want to count it being on your person right I don't think you necessarily were talking about a larger notebook that you'd have in a backpack sure you're carrying it every day but this is in the more utility type aspect where you just had one pin notebook your keys your wallet and you just put them all in your pants pocket I think that's the type of thing we're looking for here I think that's about goddess though I think it's a good conversation because it can go so many different ways like Tony on the Gear Geeks Live his everyday carry pin is the Prometheus pin which I'll have to look that up on Kickstarter but it's a large I think I'm going to say titanium pin it's a little much in the looks department for me but it's cool looking but it's not cool looking enough for me to lay down I think it was about a hundred bucks or so to purchase it I can't remember but it's got that durability aspect to it he's going to be able to take that pin anywhere and everywhere it's going to take a beating and it'll be able to handle anything you throw at it so there's pretty much two different groups at least in our world from an EDC perspective and I thought it was a good conversation to have just to throw out some of these things because there's a lot of overlap between what products people are using for EDC and it's also nice to see what people are carrying that you may not have thought of I definitely appreciate everyone chiming in today on Twitter and app.net got a bunch of feedback and definitely keep them coming I want to hear if there's things I missed I totally whiffed on the Kurutoga and as soon as I saw it that's a great call for
