My EDC comes from a years of finding myself in unprepared situations. I like to keep everything on me but it comes at the cost of pocket space, I have taken measures to minimise this cost. I started with the Secrid wallet, it's compact size has saved so much space in my pocket. The 2 foot, retractable keyring has a clasp so I can hook it to my belt loop. I keep the small items that would normally be lost at the bottom of my pockets on the keyring, easy to access when I need them. The flash drive has a size 1 Nite-Ize for easy removal. My car key is kept on another belt loop with a size 2 Nite-Ize, again for easy access and removal.
I keep a Mu plug on me. If you aren't from the UK then let me tell you, UK plugs are huge and bulky. A foreign student who came to the UK was shocked at the size and decided to make a compact, foldable alternative; perfect for EDC. The AmazonBasics Lightning to USB auto retracts into a neat case, when you have a lot in your pocket, the last thing you need is a cable tangled around everything. I keep my EarPods wrapped around a Bobino cord wrap for this reason too.
I have clips in my Leatherman sheath, Thrunite T10S and Fisher Space Pen and keep them hooked on my pocket for easy grabbing. Leatherman Juice CS4 is a perfect tool for a UK EDC, Britain has strict knife laws so no locking and no blade over 3 and a half inches. The Thrunite is an excellent torch and has helped me out many times. The Fisher is a new addition. I used to keep a True Utility keyring pen but its ink ran out too quickly. So far the Fisher seems perfect.
The iPod Nano also has a clip and it fits nicely in the fifth pocket.
Being a sufferer of severe migraines, I keep a pill box on me with strong co-codomol tablets. Georg Jensen has made a nice, discreet box that is slim but roomy.
The Casio GW-M5610-1ER is the perfect watch. Classic 80's design makes it stand out, it illuminates, is shock/water resistant, has alarms, a stopwatch, has low power consumption and is solar powered. Who needs a smart watch?
I chose Oakley glasses because of their reputation for being able to take a beating. I have to where them everyday so I want them to last.
I keep a Friendly Swede paracord braclet on my wrist but I forgot to add it to the pile. It's there for emergencies, as is the whistle.
The pins are for charities/causes I donate to.
The necklace is my father's and is the most important item in my EDC.
