Something not too many people have, but you really like. Not like a flashlight or a knife/multitool. My most unique (although still popular) are probably my loop quiet ear plugs. They come in handy in a lot of cases and word really well.

A bandaid? Slightly bigger than normal size and in the thicker material.

The random EEC knife cut, children (yours or otherwise), even semi fixed a shoe (makeshift tape).

I carry mine in a wallet so even if I'm without EDC I have it.

I carried BAND-AID® Brand TOUGH STRIPS® (had to go look it up to get all the bullshit right) in my wallet for years. I highly recommend these specifically because they work incredibly well in situations most bandages don’t. I used to slap them all over while working in a wood shop for a variety of reasons. They stay on all day even doing crazy shit. They’ll cover just about anything pretty well including harder spots like fingertips.

I don’t carry them anymore because I have a deathly tape allergy and they will kill me now. I get so many little nicks and cuts to this day that I wish I could slap those fuckers on.

Try BAND-AID® Brand Hydro Seal. Generic works as well, but you waste one unwrapping sometimes. I get cuts and dings everywhere, changed my life.
