My EDC is almost dialed in

Gear list:

Victorinox Swisstool Spirit MX Clip, Milwaukee Fastback, Klein 32600P, Rite-in-the-Rain bolt action, Milwaukee Markzall, Lowe's pen light, Ozark Trail cutlery multitool, Amazon hardshell wallet, Altoids tin containing basic medical supplies, travel-size hand sanitizer, Rite-in-the-Rain notepad, Bic lighter, lip balm, and electrical tape. Not pictured are my keys which include a Victorinox Compact and emergency phillips and flat head impact bits.

As of now, this is the most fine-tuned I've gotten my gear that I carry every day. I wear cargo pants 99% of the time, so all this stuff just disappears into all those pockets. If I'm dressing up I'll just grab the Swisstool, flashlight, and a pen.

My gear is still a work in progress but I've come far in eliminating some redundancies, focusing on what I actually use on a daily basis between work and home, and testing multiple products in each category. The whole reason I'm even in the EDC world is to be ready for anything, and to have the ability to help people around me. So, I try to carry most of the items that fulfill the basic daily tasks required of everyday people ("hey, got a pen?" "can I get some light over here?" "ah shit, I don't have a spoon in the car," etc), as well as the specialized items specific to my use case.

Being geared up is a great feeling, and I take pride in being more self reliant and valuable to others than I would be if I left the house each day with just my phone, keys, and wallet.
