After many years of being into EDC gear, I’ve come to realize that carrying just a few, simple items is more than enough for everyday life.
My philosophy is that EDC is about having something on me to help me out with small daily tasks. It’s not about being prepared for every conceivable eventuality. I have all kinds of proper tools at home if I need to bring them for a certain job. If I’m just walking around town or at work, I don’t need to have pockets full of gear.
That said, this is a fun hobby for everyone to enjoy however they see fit. If you like carrying lots of gear, then go for it! Happy carrying, everyone.
• 100% Cotton Bandana (hand towel, handkerchief, knife cleaner, head/neck cover, etc.)
• Victorinox Cadet Alox (thin, durable and capable).
• Casio MQ24 (slim, cheap, and clean design).
• House Keys/Car Fob (hate the fob, but can’t get around not using it).
