Work EDC

First pic is what I actually carry on my body/in pockets during an average day. This doesn’t change much other than the fact that I have a few different folding knives and fixed blades that I rotate through from time to time.

On body EDC contents:

Work ID badge with retractable belt clip
Aluminum Zyn tin (6mg coffee)
Taped Zyn can (holds medication)
CMF by Nothing earbuds
Magpul Minimalist wallet
AceBeam Pokelit AA (Titanium)
POM pepper spray
Carmex Lip Balm
S&W Bodyguard 2.0
Tops Street Scalpel 2
Kizer Drop Bear utility knife

I also carry a backpack that holds my PPE like sunglasses, safety vest, gloves, etc – in addition to a magpul DAKA organizer, first aid kit in a zip up tool pouch, and gray electronics organizer pouch with cables, battery banks, usb adapters, car adapters, wall plugs, flash drive, etc.

The DAKA organizer has:

Hand warmers, sticky notes, pens, pencils, sharpies, chem lights, cold steel recon 1 knife, 5” knipex cobra, sofrin sp31v3, zip ties, 550 cord, duct tape, titanium spoon/fork, D rings, carabiners, wet wipes, gerber multitool, polishing cloth, etc.

Like many of you, I buy more EDC stuff than I need, but I DO actually use all of these things regularly at work – with the exception of the firearm. I work out in the field most days, doing engineering inspections related to infrastructure and asset management. This post shows my personal items only. Since I work in a government position, all of my heavy duty stuff – like tools, computers, and vehicles are issued and stay locked up when I’m not working.
