Everyday Carry, or EDC, generally refers to small items or gadgets worn, carried, or made available in pockets, holsters, or bags on a daily basis to manage common tasks or for use in unexpected situations or emergencies. In a broader sense, it is a lifestyle, discipline, or philosophy of preparedness.

Editor’s Note: Cool, I’m a college student in CA too~ I can see you want all of your bases covered, going so far as to keep cordage, a source of fire and even a towel with you! That’s more than I’d carry on my person but I do keep those things in my bag (a small hand towel comes in handy more than I thought it would, at least in the summer it did). Anyway, I like that beefy carabiner for key retention, I’d just advise to have your car key detachable so as to avoid any ignition strain just in case… Some last observations — your wallet looks a little on the thicker side, you may want to consider it time to clear out unnecessary cards, receipts, etc or find a slimmer wallet especially if you back pocket carry. Carrying anything in your back pockets and sitting on it could lead to back problems in the long run. Oh, and the knife with the combo edge and tanto point in all black might be a bit aggressive-looking for campus carry, maybe look into another knife to add to your rotation. Overall it looks like a sturdy and versatile carry, so keep that up. Thanks for sharing!
