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.

Great website.. I’ve learned from looking at others posts. I only carry 1 of each item, but decided to show alternates/backups.
- Leather iPhone 4 case and wallet.
- 4Sevens quark MiNi AA squared R5.
- Seiko Dive Watch (SKA413).
- Seiko Diver Watch (SRP043K2)
- Victorinox Pioneer (black alox scales).
Editor’s Note: Thanks for the kind words, Gary. I’m glad you’ve learned a thing or two from the site. It’s interesting to see the “two is one, one is none” adage taken quite literally here, but I do agree it’s worth investing in backups especially if the gear is affordable and works really well for you, like these items here. I’ve always been a fan of the Quark MiNi paired with some kind of Swiss Army Knife for an affordable, versatile and minimalist EDC option, and I think Seiko makes some great affordable watches for EDC as well, so I’m glad to see those in your rotation. Despite owning backups for your core EDC I find it interesting that you don’t carry backup tools on your keychain for added redundancy, but that also contributes to streamline your carry overall (as does the wallet/phone case combination). Thanks for sharing!
so clean
This this EDC seems seems a bit redundant. Approved. Approved.
