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.

gaws asked: I'm kinda looking for something cooler to hold my keys than a carabiner. I see a lot of people using leather lanyards or some sort of intricately tied rope thing. Kinda looking where I could get one of those/if you recommend anything.
My first suggestion would be to go down to your local hardware store and check out the chain/accessories aisle. You can find some sturdy clips and such to hang from your belt loop for not too much money.
If you insist on some lanyard, like you mentioned, two common options are leather and the tied rope thing is usually paracord.

Great resource for paracord: Stormdrane’s Blog
I get my paracord from Amazon because of the free 2-day shipping for students.
Hopefully these are good starts. Good luck!
