I'm getting tired of my wallet and I'm hoping to get some new ideas. Current EDC is my phone, wallet, and keys on a lanyard. Whatchu got?

Edit: I ought to be a little more specific with my EDC, since most people are kindly taking the time to do so.

Phone: Pixel 8 Pro Wallet: bulky leather wallet, I don't even remember the brand, I've had it so long. Keys: a stylized lanyard with various house keys, car key fob, and a keychain that reads "I hope your day is as good as my butt" from my wife. I have to keep that, you understand.

Misc: Burt's Bees chapstick, Listerine breath strips, and occasionally a utility knife depending on my destination.

Except for the obvious ones (keys, id, phone) I always carry a USB C to C cable and a small bag with pretty much every USB adaptor I could find. The point is to be able to connect anything to anything. It sounds a bit weird but I've used it a lot. There is also a USB stick with 3-4 live OSes through Ventoy but that one isn't as useful.

Phone, wallet, keys, pen, lighter, knife.

I like to carry a toiletry bag with a toothbrush, toothpaste, and a bottle opener in my backpack. Really freshens you up after a heavy meal.

[–] scytale@lemm.ee 2 points 2 months ago

Phone, keys, wallet, hand sanitizer. When I know I’ll be in and out of a vehicle a lot (therefore having to empty my pockets to sit comfortably), I use a small bag that I wear across my shoulder/chest that contains all those things, so it’s easy to remove and put back on.

[–] tedgravy@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 months ago

I carry around a messenger bag with lip balm, wet wipes, earplugs, earbuds, bandages, sunscreen, sunglasses, a respirator, a hairbrush, a phone charger, a flashlight, and a reusable shopping bag.

[–] Alice@beehaw.org 2 points 2 months ago

Keychain on my belt loop, plus mace.

Phone and wallet in back pockets, utility knife and earbuds in side pockets.

Other stuff I need frequently like bug spray, sunblock, power bank, extra sketchbook and selfie stick (not necessarily for selfies, I just like photography) are in a backpack in my passenger seat.

Phone, wallet, keys, handkerchief

[–] impure9435@kbin.run 2 points 2 months ago

Phone, wallet, keychain with my normal keys, my NitroKey USB hardware security token, a flash drive with Ventoy which contains several Linux distros and other live-bootable images, AirPods, and my Apple Watch

[–] PaulSmackage@hexbear.net 2 points 2 months ago

Wallet, phone, keys. Everything else i just keep in my car or work van. Whenever i see someone add a gun to their list, i always find it funny. It's such a silly thing to walk around with

[–] JackiesFridge@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Appreciate the inclusive first sentence! My keyring has keys, a Leatherman Squirt, flat-folding nail trimmer, AAA Maglite, and a leather invincible star charm from Mario. I also keep with me a bandanna (with a glasses cloth folded inside), a leather wallet similar to this design, and a Leatherman Juice Pro.

Phone is a beat up Note 8.

In my bag I tend to have a little sewing kit in a mint tin, small bandages, Ibuprofen, tin of petroleum jelly (way better than Chapstick) and a Dirtywave M8 hardware tracker for when I'm bored.

Of course in the M8's dedicated case there is an OM System LM-P5 field recorder, aux cable, USB-C cable, Moondrop Chu2 IEMs, various headphone adapters, a microSD card reader & adapters, and a TRS midi A-to-B adapter. And the M8 itself.

It's like a nesting doll of comfort devices. I won't survive the apocalypse but I'll be able to distract myself while mutants eat my flesh.

[–] itstoowet@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Oh a fellow tracker enjoyer! I really wanted to get the M8 but they're a bit hard to come across in Europe so I went with the polyend tracker mini (and I have some mixed feelings about it, need to try the new firmware.) I also just got invited to buy the woovebox, so I might pull the trigger on that for more portable music fun.

I'll check out those iems since I need some portable monitoring. My headphones aren't handling my commute very well. How do you like the moondrops?

Wallet, keys, phone, smart watch if I'm going somewhere.

If not, just phone and watch.

[–] Skkorm@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

RFID blocking wallet, keys, Pixel 7, Pixel watch.

When I'm at work, I also have work keys on a lanyard.

When I'm skating, I wear a fanny pack cross body-style, so I can carry tools and medical supplies. It may seem extreme, but if you bail hard enough, you end up needing both(Why the fuck do I still skate at 37 πŸ˜… ).

[–] muntedcrocodile@lemm.ee 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 2 points 2 months ago

Phone, car key.

[–] HappyTimeHarry@lemm.ee 2 points 2 months ago

Keys, wallet, phone, USB charger pack, meshtastic radio, weed pen, headphones and my glasses.

I was using a smallish lunch bag I got at a tech conference 15 years ago as basically a purse but it finally gave out this year so I got something a little bigger and can also fit my Nintendo switch or small netbook if I want but those are more for when I'm traveling.

[–] Soggytoast@lemm.ee 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Always a knife. By far my most used and important tool used many times a day

[–] sem@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Phone and keys.

I really need to buy one of those id holders for the back of my phone so I can take my id too.

EDIT: oh, and I guess my wristwatch counts too. It's a casio.

[–] Cwilliams@beehaw.org 2 points 2 months ago

Always cargo shorts or pants (depending on weather):

  • Phone in upper left pocket (galaxy s22)
  • wallet and keys in lower right pocket
  • ear buds in lower left pocket (soundcore space a40)
  • I find it surprisingly uncomfortable to keep anything in my upper right pocket

Galaxy Watch 4

my backpack (if occasion requires):

  • Laptop (Thinkpad X1 Carbon 6)
  • A jacket or sweatshirt
  • A tech bag (USB-C cable, wireless cavle for my watch, magic anker wall charger)

...and that's about it

[–] palarith@aussie.zone 2 points 2 months ago

Phone. Keys

Back in the beforetimes I had a fairly long commute to work, I pretty much had to rely on what I could carry with me, so I had a rather significant EDC which included several tools, utilities, comforts, conveniences and PPE between my pants pockets and my laptop bag. Now I don't even carry a Leatherman with me and when I do leave the house it's just keys-wallet-phone.

[–] iamericandre@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Secrid card slide wallet

Weed pen

iPhone 13 pro
