Everyday carry (EDC) or every-day carry is a collection of useful items that are consistently carried on person every day. The main reasons for having EDC are utility and preparedness; to help individuals overcome simple everyday problems, including possible emergency situations.
What is your everyday carry?
I love watching those whacky conspiracy EDC channels. Bug out kits, survival bags, attack bags. Basically the equivalent of a doomsday bunker
tissues and body lotion.
It puts the lotion on it's skin, or else it gets the hose again.
My go to words before heading off to work or just going out in general…. phone, wallet, key
Going out - non-work-related
Phone and Keys thats it.
It used to be Phone, Keys and Wallet but phone NFC payments made life so much easier!
work-related
- phone, keys
- my backpack has tissues, hair ties, pens, notebook, laptop
In pant pockets:
Slim 4 card wallet
$20 note folded into coin pocket
Phone
Single house key with no keyring
Single antihistamine tab (cut from the blister pack)
In jacket pockets:
Spare masks
Hand sanitiser
Single folded facial tissue
Duct tape, zipties and gloves.
I have to have my tools.
I like to bind. I like to be bound
Didn't know there was a word for that. Mobile, wallet, keys, pen, notebook
Carrying stuff is for porters, sherpas and hotel staff. All I carry is my air of superiority. Once I carried a tissue but now I regret it.
My handbag, and I honestly don't know what's in there these days. Definitely the purse, nail file, hand sanitiser, tissues, car key, pen, sunglasses case, mask, lip balm.
It also has a side pocket in which I keep a folded up plastic bag for shopping.
Oh didnt know there was a EDC community at OZB! I have cut down my EDC substantially since Google Pay/digital cards.

Wera Koloss
Oooo, hadn't seen that before. That could find a place in my kit.
Yup. Very nice, replaces multiple tools. makes changing wheels on the SUV/4WD 200% easier with the leverage + centring pin to align the studs.
Also the hammer end also helps to loosen stuff vs you kicking the wheel.
I couldn't resist, ordered one. Surprisingly well priced with the optional handle extension. Love multi function stuff for travel kits.
Smartphone + car keys + small multi-tool
Condoms
Can of baked beans! Tuna! Tomato sauce
