I just recently started carrying an acrylic mirror in my EDC bag and dang if I didn’t suddenly find a use for it today (having a sharp knife also helped with the “oh I missed a spot” clean-up shaving session). I’ve also started carrying a solar-powered cell phone charger and love the idea that I can charge my phone without a wall outlet in an emergency. My small sewing kit is another one I’ve been happy to have.

What other useful odd items do you folks carry that someone might not normally think to carry?
