Simple Living

October 2024 Everyday Carry (EDC) I've successfully streamlined my Everyday Carry (EDC) setup, fitting all my items into my front pockets by reducing weight. I opted for the 1-ounce lighter iPhone 16 (compared to my previous 7-ounce iPhone 14 Pro) and a slim Coach wallet , making it more comfortable to carry daily. I enjoy swapping between my various Victorinox models, with the Huntsman being a favorite for its utility. I also rotate between my Casio G-Shock 5600 and A168 watches, depending on my mood and the occasion.

First Aid For convenience, I also carry 2 band-aids and a wet wipe inside one of the card pockets of my wallet.  

Updated Everyday Carry (EDC) I've updated my everyday carry (EDC) over the years and have settled on some basic brand names. Card Wallet Concerns For the longest time, I’ve owned a Coach card wallet but always felt nervous using it, as I found it falling out of my pockets at home. I finally figured out how to clip it to my inner pocket and weigh it down next to my keys. I may explore other attachment options to clip it to my phone as well. Another reason for downsizing to a slim wallet is to keep my back pockets empty. It’s painful during long drives and a nuisance to constantly relocate my larger wallet.

My Everyday Carry Update I'm really liking the simplicity of the Casio A168 and normally rock that most days, swapping it for my G-Shock 5600 on weekends. I’m also preferring a lighter weight kit and have gone back to the Victorinox Cadet. Otherwise, it's the same gear I've been using for almost two years. While the iPhone 11 has performed great, I’m looking to upgrade to something with 5G. I’ll wait until November to upgrade to the newer iPhone.

My Simplified Pocket EDC Lately, I’ve simplified my Pocket Everyday Carry (EDC) and generally carry seven core items with an additional four optional items. Core Items: iPhone 11 Wallet Keys Wristwatch USB thumb drive (on keychain) Swiss Army Knife (on keychain) Bandaids (in wallet) Optional Items: AirPods Pro Pen LED flashlight BIC Lighter More often than not, I include only the optional AirPods with my core EDC. The rest I find more convenient to leave in my messenger bag or backpack that I have near me.

EDC Essentials for March 2021 I’m usually with my messenger bag that includes more items, like first aid, bottled water, and some snacks. But if I’m on foot around town, this is usually what I have in my pockets along with my keys and a Kingston 8GB USB drive. I’ll likely add a Bic lighter to make for a more complete basic tool set. Possibly a small bit of paracord wrapped in a keychain. Current Items iPhone 11 Ballpoint pen Victorinox Cadet Swiss Army Knife Leather wallet  

My EDC Update: July 2020 It’s been a while, and my everyday carry (EDC) has changed every few months. I’m back to sporting a Swiss Army Knife and have found it surprisingly useful. You don’t realize how often you need to cut something—like a piece of rope, plastic, boxes, or tape—until you have the right tool on hand. Daily Essentials Besides opting for a quartz watch, the new daily essential is a face mask, which has become a necessary item in today’s world. EDC Items: iPhone 6s Black Leather Wallet Black Swiss Army Knife - Spartan with fast release keychain Victorinox INOX Quartz Watch - OD Green Dial Disposable Face Mask Not pictured are my keys and a simple ballpoint pen. I’m finding that having a pen is quite useful—sometimes even more than the Swiss Army Knife.
