Re: 10 year olds purse

Just an update on this, she has now got her EDC although I did decide to up the size of the purse and stuck a packet of tissues in there too, I just couldn't resist it.

BTW She used the torch to find her sisters dummy so thats that one solved :D

Re: 10 year olds purse

I agree Azosah in a pressure situation people do forget even the most basic things particularly children, while kids today do understand the 999 procedure maybe a leaflet about first aid (a very basic one) may be an idea that gives them something to do and reminds them to call for help.

Re: 10 year olds purse

It's never too late to come in with ideas Munchh :) Well we are all in agreement about the torch, I think the parents can be convinced if I can get her to use it at the right time, like when her mother is carrying stuff down the steps. Some great ideas thanks everyone. Jamesey, I find the grenades t...

Re: 10 year olds purse

Wow a brilliant response Thank you all. I knew that I could rely on you all. To answer the two questions from Badger and Arzosah I don't know how mature your niece (without that sounding like I'm being mean - I'm not!!) Unfortunately not very although quite intelligent book wise she has little to no...

10 year olds purse

Following on from our few days away, my 10 year old niece is now after a purse sized kit to carry around. Her parents think I'm mad so they have to see the logic of every item. So far I've put together: A couple of quid in change List of useful phone numbers A couple of plasters Pencil and paper Rub...

Re: Out of date cans?

Yep totally agree me and the missus were having beans on toast the other day, the beans went out of date in 2011, I kept that bit to myself.
It was well timed reminder to rotate stocks :).

I have one that contains minimal stuff that is used regularly, when I'm not far from my GHB which is in the car which has my multi tool etc in it. Last time I used something from there was today, tissues were today's item, Wednesdays was paracetamol for wife's headache, and on Tuesday it was a rubbe...

Re: Best/favorite EDC torch?

My EDC is the same as yours Forgecorvus but I took the pocket clips off, I also have a cheap one with the company logo on it on my house keys and a little cheap one the wife picked up while she was out and about on my car keys. What? No I haven't got a thing about torches...............................
