Besides my phone, this is what I end up carrying around all day.

I don't carry two knives; usually it's just my SOG knife. But on occasion, I prefer my karambit, depending on where I'm going.

I always have a rosary on me (with which I pray daily).

And lastly, my trusty inexpensive Casio watch, which I bought just for fishing originally, but it's perfect for everyday - simple, big, digital numbers.

I am adding a flashlight to my EDC. I ended up with a Fenix, but I'm not sure if I'm going to like the non-tactical, rotary switch, though.

My goal with my EDC is to not make it look like I'm wearing a stormtrooper utility belt

Speaking of belts, it's all about the 5.11 TDU belt with plastic buckle.

Post up your EDC!

Imma post mine later, but I'm going to post this now:

DO NOT TAKE PICTURES OF YOUR KEYS AND POST THEM ON THE INTERNET

Anyone who can see those photos (and this is a public forum) can make a copy of your keys.

Thanks for your patience, carry on.

Out of all the things Elon Musk has warned us about he completely missed this one. Thanks Tyler. :ride
 
I rock the Kershaw Oso smooth (I think thats the name) all the time. I keep a Keltec TDI where I can add for peace of mind. Other than that, 2 phones, wallet, and keys. Sometimes i misplace my belt and I dont notice either way.
 
Here's mine:

Like any bozo, I'm always Keys / Phone / Wallet. Beyond just keys on my keyring I also have:

- A small case with a spare SD card in it
- A 128gb thumb drive
- 39 in / 1m measuring tape
- hackerspace keyfob

Beyond that, I pretty much always have a small, flat-wound roll of 2" gaffer tape, a pair of headphones with a 3.5mm jack, and some sort of utility blade - either the one pictured here or the Gerber EAB Lite. And of course a cloth face mask, because reasons.

This list was a lot more hilarious if it included my daily driver backpack when I was going to and from work, because it was typically a comical collection of microcontrollers, wire strippers, multimeters, the odd raspberry pi, and lots of other junk.
 
Petzl Zipka. You never know when you will need to put your face somewhere dark.
 
I work in a secured area, so, nothing :laughing
 
Pretty much every day, I've got my Kershaw 1365 in my pocket.

Then on days when I think I need a bit more, it's a Glock 43. (yes I have a CCW)

Costanza Wallet (many useful items contained inside!)

Dabber + Dabs
Burts Bees Medicated chapstick
Pack of Tic-Tacs
Keychain for vehicle I'm using
Belt
2 masks

Gerber Clutch mini-tool when needed


(Dang, forgot the chapstick and the masks in the pic. Yes, I loopholed the Tyler rule.)

Nada. I travel light. The small pack that has the $$$ is in the trunk until I need some, and the cel phone is… somewhere.

love seeing what dudes carry. women are a whole nother story (lots of capacity lol). one of my favorite personal accessories is a white travel pouch with big black letters that say ‘a bunch of shit i basically can’t live without’.

reminds me of a female colleague i used to travel with a lot. i referred to her as mary poppins. she had a moderately sized handbag, but i swear no matter what anyone needed, she reached into that thing and pulled it out. i mean, a seemingly bottomless pit of kit - no matter how obscure the item was. seemed almost magical. we were all like - WTF?!?!

The pretty thing has a small white clutch type bag with the text: DEFINITELY NOT A BAG OF DRUGS
 
In my vehicles, I keep a couple of high quality flashlights, a multitool and knife. My truck is my daily driver, so I have a jug of water, hat, gloves and jacket.

On my person, I just have a mini-wallet with ID and CC's and a Credit Card knife. I despise carrying keys in my pocket, so they are left in my desk, until I need them.

I'm a nutter about flashlights. I have them EVERYWHERE in my house. I guess it stems from me being almost blind (until my recent surgery).
 
I hate carrying shit so Phone, sometimes AirPods, keys if I'm driving, sometimes wallet (Apple Pay on phone/watch). Not including sunglasses/mask

Have a camelback backpack for overnight/emergency. I keep the main compartment clear for whatever clothes I need but stash the following:
- Headgear flashlight
- Soft shell jacket/gloves/Hat (bladder pouch)
- Masks (bladder pouch) in ziplock
- Small first aid kit
- Power bank and charge cable
- Toothbrush & toothpaste
- Gerber multi-tool
- Hand sanitizer
- Reading glasses

I can see some of you dudes need to bring back the fanny pack aka scrotum tote’m.

I have several, one with stuff needed for riding since my leathers have no pockets. I think.
One is for my cel phone when I need it. I hate carrying shit in my pockets.

Cracks me up when folks wear fanny packs as belly packs. I understand the security issue, but still.

LOL!!! I have one of these for times when I need to carry stuff on dog walks/hikes, and it's too warm for a jacket. I tend to wear sweat pants on the weekends, so I will wear it to the grocery store too.

My Wife calls it my "Batman Utility Belt".

I’m telling you, wearing velco baggy pants with a fanny pack, a string tank and Kung Fu shoes circa 1989 was the most comfortable I have ever been clothed.
I carry very little but needing to carry glasses for indoors to swap out my sunglasses fills up my cargo shorts pretty fast. I have been threatening to get a fanny pack because I think old guys can pull them off but my younger-than-me wife keep vetoing it. Oddly, she makes me keep my Santa Claus beard…..?
 
Not pictured is the iPhone 13 Pro since I needed it to take the picture of course.

The wedding ring is the “stunt double” that I use during the week as the real one has dinosaur bone/epoxy inlaid and will not stand up to daily use anywhere near a shop.

The wallet has a Wallet Ninja in one of the card slots. Mostly just used to open a bottle from time to time.

And I rotate between different knives.
