What’s your EDC essentials?

No pocket knife, no watch, no multitool, no jewelry for me. Two flashlights, cellphone, GoPro camera, 10mm, keys, wallet, pepper spray, pen.

Wallet, wristwatch, keys, knife, full-size flashlight, 2 keychain flashlights, slim nail clippers, whistle, keychain multi-tool, pepper spray, Vaseline, and handkerchief.

If I leave the house, smart phone and face mask.

I wear a watch, right now the Thrunite AAA on my keychain, sometimes the Nicore Tube, or the Olight AAA and carry my Swiss Army Knife I have had since 1981.

Pack of condoms, you never know when you gonna need it.

I like to have a small spray bottle with ethanol solution for general clean-up. Sadly, this is hard to fit with all my other EDC stuff. If the temperature isn’t too extreme, I’ll keep one in the car at least.

I don’t go out the door without a pack of gum, my cell phone, my keys, a small lipstick light, my SAK SwissChamp, my gun and my wallet.

Do I even want to know? :open_mouth:

Getting to hate anything in my pockets anymore, or just wear shorts putzing around town, so I took to carrying a sling-bag as my murse. So lessee…

That go,comma knife, coupla pens, phone, SP32Av2, some usb cables, my papieren, keys, bux… that’s pretty much it.

If I’m actually wearing pants/shorts that won’t fall down if I put anything in a pocket, then my MH20, too.

It's just for dry lips.

I used to use Blistex before I moved to the desert, but Blistex doesn't cut it here.

The only thing that I know of that works for me is Vaseline.

...

When I'm at home, I use the following because it's way cheaper per ounce.

Wallet, QSP Leopard knife, Samsung smart watch, Google Pixel 4XL, Apple iphone XR. I don’t normally carry a light cuz I have them stashed everywhere; every room of the house, desk at work, laptop bag, travel bag, glucose meter bag, all vehicles, garage, etc., but when I do carry a light, it’s either one of my Olight 16340 lights, or Lumintop EDC05.

This reminds me, I need to buy a spare QSP Leopard. I feel incomplete if it’s not in my pocket. It’s my fidget tool :smiley:

If this is what you carry on your person, I am afraid to ask what you have in your car.

Wallet
Keys
Pistol
Phone
Watch
Knife
Torch
Pen

I just carry the first part, the second goes mostly on the backpack, and that is precisely because…I am a walker or public transportation user :wink:
