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.

Probably the thing that I find gets the most use is an A5 art pad with a mechanical pencil in the binder rings. Bonkers useful and you can spill drinks on it.

A small bottle of isopropyl alcohol.

Microfibre cloth.

Those little fast food hand wipes.

Meds

Phone charger

Other things people have mentioned.

Microfibre cloth.

What's the use case here?

Idk, I left it in my bag and now it lives there. I guess sometimes things need cleaning or gingerly holding and you want more fabric mass than a handkerchief. It's come up at pubs and the machine shop (I do wash the cloth)
