Show us your EDC (every day carry). Whether it be boring or exciting with pew pews or other tools. Some items I'd like to EDC I don't due to laws or company policy. But I'll start off with mine. Larger set of keys is when I'm at work. Otherwise it's the rest shown here. Lost my sharpie so it's not in there until I get another. I used to carry a Leatherman or two but broke them too often and got tired of sending them in for repairs. Plus I lost more then I could count. Sucks because if you do loose one it's all the tools gone and cost a lot to replace. At least with this setup the tools last much longer and I can use more then one at a time. Easier to replace too

Edit: and the cellphone I am using to take this photo

Wallet, cellphone, and a repelling carabineer to hold keys, blue parrot BXT 650. Everything else is generally on the equipment I'm using

I'd carry a PP/EW but too many customers are weapon free zones and I don't work for myself right now

TAP pay makes that easy now and for ID or anything else i have pics in my phone (been fine so far no places around here scan physical ID) I do have a Quadlock case and wallet that snaps to the back of my phone when needed. Really nice stuff that Quad lock.

Be careful with not carrying your actual driver's license... If you happen to get pulled over, police tend to not take kindly to that...

Some states are now allowing Digital ID's. It's set up through the State's motor vehicle dept using a specific app.
Kind of like the proof of insurance card through the insurance companies that provide that option.

Left to right:
  • Pocket knife: Böker Plus Kwaiken Air Mini, S35VN blade
    That is my favorite knife, but I swap between a couple different knives depending on what I plan to do that day.
  • Pen: Olight Open (pen, flashlight, & laser pointer)
  • Phone: Sony Xperia 1 III
    Annoyed they aren't releasing the mark VI in the US officially. Need to decide if I hold out for the mark VII or try out a different brand, but Sony phones have consistently been my favorite.
  • Keychain: YubiKey, keys, RovyVon Aurora A8 flashlight w/219C LED
  • Pistol: Ruger LCP
    Yeah, yeah, not a big gun, but I actually carry it, and a .380 ACP I have on me beats the .40 S&W I left in the safe. Depending on what I am doing I sometimes also carry a Glock or a 1911 if I am feeling formal.
  • Wallet a friend made for me with the normal suspects in it (cash, credit cards, IDs & licenses)
The office doesn't allow weapons, so when I have to head in some of this has to stay in the car, making us a bunch of dumb sitting ducks for anyone who doesn't feel like following the rules. But I digress...

We can no longer carry at work either which I think is BS. But someone left theirs on their desk and that was a huge no no.

I almost want to mount an under desk magnet on my new work station when we get setup and use that. Or maybe even an alien gear setup. But idk yet. I don’t like being a sitting duck especially on an internal work area with no real exits.
