EDC

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.

Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor

 

submitted by thejafe I was attracted to these items because they work well and are extremely robust in both design and function. I consider this to be a “minimalist” carry although each individual items is quite beefy and fills the hand nicely. Spyderco Para 2HDS Tactical Clicky (140 Lumens)Seiko SKX007 on Zulu Dive StrapApple iPhone 4Keys I’ll also be adding smaller backups to my keychain and I’ve detailed those future additions below.  Fisher Trekker Space PenArc AAA Premium FlashlightLeatherman Micra Stay tuned! Editor’s Note: I totally agree with your assessment that this carry is minimal, but beefy in execution and design. The SKX007 is a great offering from Seiko, the Para 2 is a super solid EDC blade, and the Tactical Clicky is feature-packed and pretty much bombproof. I appreciate the durability, robustness and quality over quantity themes in this EDC. Your keyring remains minimal as well, and of the gear options you’ve listed as your backups they make excellent complements to your current carry. I’m curious as to how you keep a wallet or how you attach/pocket your keys, but with such few items and access to pocket clips I imagine you handle it just fine. Keep it up and thanks for sharing.

submitted by starstreak Great blog! I’m japanese photographer. here’s my carry : Sinn UX S GSG9 Sony Ericsson Xperia arc Keys Leatherman Style PS Nitecore EX11.2 Editor’s Note: Thanks for the kind words. Also, thanks for putting a brief description of what you do and where you’re from to put the carry into perspective. It makes sense that you carry a bladeless multitool due to Japanese knife laws. I see you keep your light on a wrist lanyard, which is nice for retrieval and retention when in use. If you want a different carry solution, there are actually some aftermarket titanium pocket clips that carry nice and deep if you’d want to go that route. Lastly, the real standout of this carry is that Sinn! Looks great all around, thanks for sharing.

submitted by j-vergara Hey, long time follower of this site. My carry pretty much stays the same through the years as I add or remove a piece here or there. This time I added a timepiece to my carry. 4Sevens Quark Mini 123 Spyderco Persistence Seiko SKX007 Editor’s Note: Nice selection to add to the carry… The SKX007 is one of Seiko’s more popular offerings and makes for a nice EDC watch. Your other pieces, the Quark Mini123 and Persistence are also some common choices, albeit because they perform well for not a lot of money. These are definitely some pieces of kit to check out for newcomers to EDC. Thanks for sharing.

It’s always great to hear from people who’ve gotten some good ideas from this site, hopefully some of you guys can find things to take away from Alex’s site too. Thanks for sharing and keep it up!
