As always, I try to keep my EDC as light (1120g / 39oz) and minimalistic as possible, without having to sustain a loss in terms of functionality and looks.
I carry the inexpensive 'Wiko Lenny 3' mobile phone, available for about $50. There's nothing remotely fancy about it, but since I use my device only for WhatsApp, phone calls, YT, IG, my mail accounts and a hand full of other apps, it works for me just fine.
The 'Obitkey' I carry since 2016 holds up pretty nicely, although it's beginning to slowly unravel some threads here and there.
Since I work in retail (comic shop employee) and I talk quiet a lot & got to have nice/moist lips, so I don't have to lick my lips every other second. 'Burt's Bees' lip balm just works like a charm for that application.
Not pleased with my new-ish 'Vincero' watch, like at all... (it just doesn't perform as much as I thought) opting for a Swiss 'Tissot Classic Dream' in the near future for sure.
Pretty happy with my 'Bullet Space Pen' and 'Uni Kuru Toga Roulette' even though I think about swapping them out against a 'Zebra F-701’ and a 'Hardcore Hardware Australia TWI-02'.
It's been one year since I bought the 'ARKtype PMK' and I'm as stoked about it as on the first day I got it. The quick release magnetic clasp is the sh#t!
Jesper Voxnaes' 'Pilar' is a brilliant little utility-task frame lock which is in use every single day, since I acquired it.
The self-defence tool I chose is the ‘Ka-Bar TDI’, which I never used and I don't foresee myself ever using. Deployment of the TDI is quick and easy, also I like the fact, that its equally useful in a pistol grip or in a more traditional karambit-style grip.
I also might invest in a non-lethal option such as a pepper spray and the before mentioned tactical pen as a force multiplier.
I finally got myself a (minimalistic) 'Recycled Firefighter Leather Sergeant' wallet and I really dig it so far. It holds six cards, CHF 20 - CHF 100 in cash as well as a CHF 5.- coin.
Wishbone Goods' 'Field Notes Cover' developed some nice patina over the last year and keeps my writing implements together quite neatly, ever since I received it.
The 'Leatherman Squirt PS4' as well as the 'Victorinox Classic SD' are going to get swapped out against the 'Leatherman Style PS' in just a few weeks. Even though the first two tools almost don’t add any additional weight to my carry, they do bulk up my keychain quite a bit.
It's been about one year since I got the 'Olight i3E EOS' and it has served me well with its 90-lumen output. I'm going to opt for an 'Olight i1R EOS' and an 'Olight i3T EOS' (for my EDC organizer) as soon as they come out, nonetheless.
NOTE: Please keep in mind, that I work as a bookseller and live in a sub-urban to urban area in Switzerland, with a moderate climate. The law is pretty generous concerning knives (forbidden are e.g. OTF's, autos, daggers & balisongs and tools like batons, knuckles etc.) and environmental disasters like hurricanes, tornados, tsunamis, landslides, floods are (almost) non-existent, at least where I'm located at.
So, you won’t see hardly any survival tools (fire starter, bush craft knife, water purification tablets etc.) in my carry loadout, as well as just a basic I.F.A.K. which is customized to my personal needs.
