So much of EDC seems to be centered around either surviving alone in the woods for days or alternatively using your tactical pen to stab a terrorist to death and John McClane the building. I'm John Suburban and my EDC includes a gun, a ferrorod and a tacpen with built in seatbelt slicer and window breaker (none of which I ever trained to use, but am assured will use competently after a flip over car crash into a body of water).

Which is a shame, because I think EDC stuff is cool. Little nifty tools! What do the denizens of this here website chapo.chat like for non chud EDC applications?

I'll start off with some favourites,

  • a small AA-powered flashlight by EOLite (self-explanatory I think)
  • a Gerber Dime (basically one of those small swiss army knives but the pliers are a nice touch for a lot of things, like not touching the garbage juice)
  • a keychain presta-to-schrader adapter to reinflate my bicycle tyres at any given gas station, should the need arise

Currently also building a bicycle EDC-Pouch where space isn't limited to pocket size, would love to hear what other people use.

In my current living setup I don't need to carry keys most of the time, but I always used my keys to open boxes in the past. So I picked up a clever little AliExpress "titanium" "8 in 1 crowbar" that has a wide, flat, unsharpened edge (so hopefully no airport problems), integrated bottle opener, one corner shaped like a phillips screwdriver, etc. Everything I would want most of the time from a folding multitool in the space of a key.

Also a tiny pair of tweezers and a decidedly untactical little pen. I'm auditioning USB-rechargeable keyring flashlights.

During the 11/11 sale I picked up a SOG PowerLitre folding tool to keep in my backpack. It looks chuddy as fuck with its skull-in-a-beret logo but I bought it based 100% on the corkscrew implementation. It's the only multitool corkscrew I've seen with a bottle-lip knee on the opposite side for compound leverage like a waiter's corkscrew (that is to say, it's the only multitool corkscrew I've seen that is worth a damn). Gotta be able to get my wine on at a moment's notice
