[Organize your pocket gadgets with the PocKit Pro EDC organizer from Yellow Birch Outfitters]( by Andy Jacobs I’m all about EDC organization. In fact, I’m constantly on the lookout for little pockets and pouches that I can use to keep my loose pocket items from clanking about. I might have just found it in the Yellow Birch Outfitters PocKit Pro EDC Organizer. This little pardner is ruggedly built from 1000D Cordura Nylon with Nylon No. 69 thread, YKK zippers and pulls and Mil Spec taping and “Handmade in the USA by someone who proudly served it.” It has 3 pockets on the front that will hold lots of different types and sizes of smallish EDC items, like knives, flashlights, mini-pens and the like. Just behind that is a wide slot for a small notebook. On the back side is a larger, full-zippered pocket for larger items. At 4″x6″ it won’t crowd your pocket much and will keep everything protected and in one place. The PocKit Pro EDC Organizer is available in Coyote Brown (pictured) and in two versions: Modern Carry with 3 pockets on the front and Classic Carry with 4 pockets on the front, each for $49.99.
