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.

Anonymous asked: While setting up my first EDC, I decided to start small and opted for a Maglite Solitaire for my keychain light. After putting a new Duracell battery in the barrel, I realized the beam wasn't bright at all… Is this because I purchased a cheap flashlight, or can I get another type of battery to make it stronger?
Any suggestions are much appreciated!
There is nothing wrong with the battery. The Maglite Solitaire is just a weak, incandescent light. Lighting a matchstick would get you more light and longer runtime. :\
I actually bought the Solitaire as my first light (before I knew what EDC meant, I just wanted a new geeky hobby) and, disappointed with its sub lumen output and wonky looking beam pattern I researched LED lights. I settled on the Fenix E01 but eventually upgraded to the Fenix LD01.
I make this recommendation far too often but you might as well spend the $20 and get an iTP EOS A3.
Sorry about the Mag :\
