My regular carry right now when I step out of the house includes:

  • A leather wallet my grandpa gave me (the circle imprints are from the quarters I use to get a shipping cart at aldi)
  • A hankerchief I made with my freind when she taught me how to use a sewing machine for the first time
  • My trusty Casio a700
  • An old field notes notebook. We had a bunch left over from Geo-Caching when I was in scouts a kid
  • A muji gel pen (I adore these pens 10/10)

And my keys with

  • A keychain from when my friend took me to see a league of legends semifinals that was being played near us
  • Two mini library cards
  • And a medication container I keep melatonin and some ADHD meds in (Non-stimulant, not that I expect cops will care if I'm pulled over πŸ˜…)

A crappy wallet that at the same time is massive in my pocket but can't fit much inside, my keys on a carabiner with a bluetooth tracket and a half broken Gerber Dime multitool. And of course my trusty Emisar D4V2 flashlight.

Edit: how did a forget my watch? A nice Seiko Lord Matic Special from 1971

That's a lovely little carry! The flashlight is an absolutely lovely shade of blue

You should post your carry to this comm sometime! It hasn't had much traffic and if there aren't posts, it doesn't show up on people's feed and folks forget it exists :)

Also I'm sure folks I'm the watches comm would love your Seiko if you haven't already posted it, that's a beautiful watch

I might post my carry when I get a better wallet and a working multitool :P

You should! Though it's also okay to have an imperfect carry. A lot of time edc is just a consumerist circle jerk. Sometimes it's nice to just see the normal realistic stuff people carry.

Regardless, I'd be happy to see your carry show up on my feed when you'd like to post it ☺️
