Hello!

I’ve been a sporadic ‘lurker’ here at EDC forums for a few years, but decided I should register and participate as I can.

I’ve been EDC’ing ever since I was 18 months old and never went anywhere without a binky ( stress reduction device ) and blanky ( warm layer/emergency shelter ).

Since then I’ve substituted some items that seem to have more day-to-day utility. I’m still looking to learn new ideas and to make improvements to my ‘EDC’.

Truth be told, I don’t have a fixed EDC. What I stuff in my pockets tends to vary from day to day, season to season, and mood. More importantly, my pockets’ contents tends to be dictated by what I expect to be doing on any given day.

I like spending time outdoors and traveling around. Each pursuit tends to mean that my carry gets modified based on the activity. When hiking or motorcycling, the increased luggage options means more stuff. When shuffling around at home, my carry is pretty minimal.

I just got my account approval email and I thought I use that as a test to see what I was actually carrying today. Today is an urban day and I’ll be going out to lunch with a pal and then hitting a sporting goods store for some camping bits and pieces.

After reading the email and confirming my EDC Forums membership was up and running, I did a pocket dump:
