I really like the idea of an EDC.
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. Some of the most common EDC items are wallets, key rings, phones, watches, knives, flashlights, multitools, notebooks, and pens.

I have a stack of Field Notes and tried carrying one around for awhile to jot things down. It didn’t last because firing up a notes app was more convenient. I have a nice pocket knife from my brother’s wedding and I like the idea of carrying a Leatherman. I work from home though and over 90% of the time I’m wearing joggers or gym shorts, which are not great for carrying items around all day.
My EDC is my iPhone and the iPhone Mag Wallet with my credit card, driver’s license, and debit card. Since my Tesla Model Y uses the Tesla app as the key and I don’t need a physical key to get in the house, I don’t even carry a set of keys.
Here are some EDC YouTube videos from creators I enjoy watching:
Similarly, Matt Mullenweg, our CEO at Automattic, has a series of posts categorized In My Bag, where he shares what he carries around with him. I always find something new and useful from those posts.
