A long time lurker but my first post on the S&SE forum
OP I have the fatty and it's ample big for an EDC. As one of the other responders mentioned, you can fit quite a bit into it, and it's not that too big for carrying in a rucksack. I bought mine through EM Gear. At the time even including shipping from the US it work out cheaper that I could find.

EM gear have good prices,but unfortunately shipping for the Beefy comes out at 42$ to Ireland.
I guess postage and packaging has gone up in price.0 -
90% of people have all their tools in one shed is that having all your eggs in one basket too? I like to store all my pocket tools together so I know where they are when needed and less chance of losing them
How exactly could you go out and leave your shed somewhere
I can see lots of good reasons for keeping tools together but what I am asking is if the items are part of your survival equipment is it a good idea to put what are probably some of the most expensive and very useful items all in one small camo bag that could be forgotten, lost, dropped or stolen. My point is that if they are all together you have more chance of loosing the lot.
If the tools are for work then obviously putting them in one bag is a good idea, for no particular reason the tools I EDC are spread around my day bag according to size and how often I use them. Wire cutters for example have found their way into an inside pocket because I rarely use them, hand saw is down the side of the bag as its out more often. Small screwdriver set (pen type one) is in the top pocket. To loose everything I have to loose the whole bag, but if I was to put all the tool bits and pieces into a separate bag I could take that out to use something and forget it especially if its a "tactical colour".
At the other extreme all my First Aid kit bits are altogether in one bag but they are rarely used and the bag is bright red.
I'm not criticizing anyone for keeping their EDC survival tools handy in one bag just looking for the positives and negatives of doing so. A possible negative for me would be having a bag specifically for tools with empty spaces would mean I'd have to fill it, so I'd probably end up carrying around stuff I didn't need.0 -
