edc [everyday carry] shaved my wife

[branespload]

Every Day Carry, or EDC, generally refers to small items or gadgets worn, carried, or made available in pockets, holsters, or bags on a daily basis to manage common tasks or for use in unexpected situations or emergencies. In a broader sense, it is a lifestyle, discipline, or philosophy of preparedness. I like to think that it is better to have and not need than to need and not have. I think many people EDC to some degree but are not aware of it -- things like Swiss Army Knives, carrying a pen with you or a bottle opener or LED on your keychain are all considered EDC. Hopefully this thread can help everyone be that much more prepared just in case!

here's one from a few weeks ago, not much changed since then

[branespload]

^ what's that between the wallet and the phone? a multitool? and what's in the spy capsule?

[sonny]

Between the wallet and phone is a pair of Gerber nail clippers. Gots pillz in the spy capsule.

Also have been carrying a Strider SNG over the Warren Thomas micro m19 the past few days.

[branespload]

word.. i had a spycap on my keychain, used to have caffeine pills and immodium LOL then swapped it for emergency cash, ended up scrapping it from the keychain altogether.

while i'm here, might as well post up my Minimal Core EDC

Nitecore EZCR2 Warm + Victorinox Manager

i wanna join.

when i was younger i always like the feeling of carrying shit with me.

if that makes sense, but i think it's cool.

i just don't wanna be lame like wildstyle.

[wild style]

Here's a group shot of the many things I carry around every day:

Most stoked on this little guy I made recently to hold my keys without all that janitor steez hanging from my belt loop. It used to be a little bike tool, but now it holds all but my car key + a little screwdriver.

I'll make you a cute little paracord lanyard.

[eean]

Clockwise from Top:

- Earbuds

- Keyring with Keytool, house/work/mail/misc-keys, suicidelephant

- car keys

- wallet

- bus pass

- zippo and smokes

- knife

also carry my Iphone (which i used to take this pic)

and not really EDC anymore but my Pentax Spotmatic 35mm camera.

[branespload]

^ fck a lanyard, stainless steel/titanium EVERYTHING please.

yo billy, if you wanna start a keychain, lemme know.

gonna update OP with places to cop and sites to peep

[billy.]

yea, thanks.

you already know my obsession with the fire starter.

trying to think of what else i wanna be able to do at any time in case shit goes down.

yeah

i always felt like if i had stuff on me i'd be more prepared and more likely to adventure

now i just think its great to have stuff! james bond influence

[wild style]

Damn dude, you carry a fixed blade around? Ever catch any shit for that?

[billy.]

do you guys get anxiety if you run out to the store really quick in basketball shorts or something? (0)

i think once i was used to having everything on me i'd feel naked and vulnerable without it haha

[branespload]

^ yeah man like I said on twitter during the fire alarm at school I was still in PJs, had to change into jawns and grab all my gear.

i also got locked out of my apt on the ONE day i didnt carry my keychain, so yeah i kinda feel naked w/o them.

[eean]

Damn dude, you carry a fixed blade around? Every catch any shit for that?

i dont wear it on my belt or anything and show it off, if anything i usually goes in my bag or in the backpocket.

its also pretty small, bout the size of a paring knife, and i use it more for work (opening boxes, fine detail cutting) than cutting a sandwich in the caf.

awsome knife tho

[wild style]

Here's some Peter Atwood pron. I stopped carrying the Leatherman Micra once I got my Skeletool back from my old lady.

[kenthenoob]

nice atwood tool.

the modded bike tool/key is totally wild.

[sonny]

today's pocket check

[redgrail]

so what do you guys do when you don't carry a bag?

i roll to work in only my 5-pocket jeans, how you do this and stay prepared for zombie apocalypse?

[branespload]

I generally do not prepare a BOB (Bug Out Bag), especially for EDC purposes. I tend to limit my gear to a length of 3.5" max so everything fits in my pockets. I can fit my Leatherman and wallet in my back pocket together.. My Spyderco cricket is insanely thin so I can fit that in my front pocket, etc. Hopefully other guys here can chime in with some ideas.

[wild style]

Damn Sonny, you drive a mk3 too? We've got too much in common, haha. I've been pushin a 98 golf for about 7 years now, still goin strong!

Info on folder plz? Looks sick.

Also wtf is that crisis card?!

[wild style]

I've been thinking of picking up one of Bill's Urban Wallets to carry in my other back pocket. Seems like a pretty good option.

Not my pics...

[sonny]

folder is a strider sng. pretty much indestructible and has unconditional lifetime warranty. crisis card is a ti credit card knife made by mike snody.

[rome1]

mostly everyday switching things up here and there depending on the situation and/or event that I may be going to. Can't find my Wave leatherman:confused: think I'm fuct and may have lost it...

[rome1]

do you guys get anxiety if you run out to the store really quick in basketball shorts or something? (0)

i can't go outside in garments that don't have pockets...it freaks me out.

I've got some serious janitor action going most days, I didn't even put up pictures of my work keys, I have to be able to get to them quickly so that key holder thing that ryan made is a no go:( still really dope though. I was actually thinking about using that rubber dip stuff that they use on the handles of tools to quiet down the jingle effect that I constantly have.

[wild style]

The infamous dick bag! Nice stuff rome, what's in the spy capsule?

I carried one for a bit with tylenol, toothpicks, and a $20 in it, but it took up too much room on the keychain. Need a slimmer one like yours and sonny's.

[branespload]

rome 6 blades and zero flashlights???

wildstyle if I were you, I would get the Countycomm Peanut lighter and take the lighter out to use as a spy capsule. It's $11 but the quality is so much better than the pill caps on ebay. Brushed stainless vs cheap metal w/ a finish that flakes off.. I think it's a good compromise in quality and price without having to resort to titanium.

and as for those urban wallets, what if corter made one?? o__O??

also really diggin this

http://head-porter.org/blackbeauty/bb27.html

more sufu approved than say, a maxpedition i guess...

[rome1]

Rolled up ten, ( the $20 I'd spend in a bar too fast and that's not an emergency) and two aleve. I got them off amazon 6 for 6 bucks shipped. And they actually stay closed.

[rome1]

They don't all travel together at the same time usually I only have two or three on me at any given moment. and I know about the flashligh... never got schooled on them just knives and cigars for some reason, but give it a little time and that will change real soon.
