My 2017 EDC Updated.
Here's my list (currently as it is always evolving). Keeping in mind this is just for Urban Vancouver/Portland - Rural or far away places get an extra set of stuff.
On me always:
3" folder - flavor doesn't matter
Bandana
EDC gun + at least 1 spare mag
iPhone
Wallet
Keys
Zippo
1 of 2 EDC Bag's - depends on the day:
EDC bag #1:
Maxpidition Fatboy - for when I don't want to carry my EDC gun OR if I only have a couple extra things to bring.
- Things that stay in the bag:
- Inhaler for asthma, pen, sharpie, Bic lighter & multiple lengths (3', 6' & 10') of 550 Para cord.
EDC bag #2:
Badlands Day Pack - for winter and when I need to haul a bit more then the MX Fatboy can carry.
- Things that stay in the bag:
- 50' 550 Para cord, 1 climbers carabeaner + 1x150lb cheapie, pen, sharpie, head lamp, zip ties, large black garbage bags, US Military neckerchief, bottle of water, inhaler for asthma, extra bandana, disposable wet lens cloths, 1st aid kit & Bic lighter.
**Not sure I've ever brought them both at the same time.
3 'Small Kits' move to whatever bag I'm carrying that day
-1. TP Needs:
Toilet Paper (not a huge wad but enough to get the job done twice in case I have to use it and forget to restock), portable pack of flushable wipes (found these are handy from what they are made for to wiping a seat in an emergency - don't knock it till you try it), few bounty kitchen paper towels & Hand Sanitizer.
-2. Electrical Needs:
A/C to USB adapter, 12v D/C to USB adapter (cigaret plug in), earbuds, cord for phone & cord for older iPods.
-3. Medical/Catch All bag:
Prescription Meds for 3 days, over the counter meds for myself and my 2 ladies (Advil, Tylenol, Excedrine Migraine, Sudafed, Benadryl and Midol), set of ear plugs, nitrate gloves x 2 sets, toothpicks with floss on them, single doses of Oragel topical anesthetic, 3xAAA batteries, 8 quarters and I think that's it without digging into it. (Used to keep a $10, $5 & 5x$1s but gave that up till I have extra income)
+
These items get moved back and forth to the bag I'm taking:
- prescription glasses JIC (not an item I wear except for very bad weather or sometimes night driving in unfamiliar areas & to the shooting range), leatherman Wave w/led 2xAAA mini mag in a pouch, extra set of keys, good tweezers, nail clippers, emery board for nails, small pad & pen combo.
None of the above is part of my GHB or Trunk Bag - that seemed like it needed its own thread...
Criticize or post your stuff - it's all good =).
