TRUE EDC items
« on: January 02, 2012, 01:38:38 PM »
It seems to me, that the term "EDC" has become a reference to something which has been placed in someones pocket for a couple of days and maybe seen a bit of use.  This to me is not 'every day carry'.  For me, in order for something to be classified as an EDC item, it has to be carried every day for a number of months.   

I can only say the following things;

An Atwood GasBaby,
An Arc-P
A ResQMe
An Iphone 4
and my wallet.

Everything else is either swapped or changed around or is just simply not carried.

So I'm wanting to hear from you guys, what do you TRULY EDC?
I'm back!!

The other things: knives, multi tools, lighters, flashlights, etc is in a rotation right now, trying to find that perfect balance. I want to have a system that just works.

The only thing that really stays constant is the fresnel lens in my wallet, and the wallet itself, a Big Skinny Card Case.  Everything else is up for rotation at least once a year (or each day ::)).

Every day is different and the contents of my pockets change accordingly, but I do carry some form of knife/tool everyday. The things that change less frequently and are with me most days are my wallet, keys of some description (but even then the actual keys vary) and phone.

The car keys has a res-q-me, Vic manager and Photon II, the other keyrings have a classic and a fauxton - but I don't carry every bunch of keys everyday, so I suppoese I can't count them. My EDC bag (which is most days, but still not every single day without exception) has a Vic Swisstool as a "centre piece" with a lot of very other useful goodies

The more I think about it - I'm not sure anything for me is TRUE EDC .... and to be honest, I'm quite happy with that  :D

finking about it mine changes according to where i am, if its work i always have a sharpie pen and some sort of tool.

i change my tool according to the work load, so if i know its busy ill have something like a supertool 300, blast or wave. but if i know its quiet ill have a juice skeletool or maybe a freestyle.

and out of work i travel light but always have some sort of tool like my skeletool or freestyle. or even lighter with just a SAK tinker.

it all depends on the day for the tool. same goes for lights.
