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 😅)

FYI: The consensus among health experts is that condoms should ideally not be stored in wallets for more than a few days, if not just a few hours. If you must carry a condom in your wallet, it’s best to use it the same day to ensure its integrity.

i think those are coins. condoms have more of a ring shape?

[-] Cris_Color@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Yep, it's a quarter for getting a cart at aldi 😅

Those are my quarters for getting a shopping cart at Aldi 😅

But I appreciate you putting good information out there for folks!

FYI: there are small plastic cases that protect them from getting pierced/folded. We got them handed out at sex ed some years ago but I'm sure they're still around.

The circles are from quarters so I can get a cart at aldi, but that seems like a handy thing for folks who'd like to carry a condom!

If you see this comment, maybe take a quick pic to share the items you always carry on this comm :)

Communities that don't get traffic get forgotten

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

[-] Cris_Color@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

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

[-] Cris_Color@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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 ☺️

Bifold wallet with radio blocking for card scanners, keys with a little purple Swiss army pocket knife and bottle opener from Texas, Nexus 5 phone no case, oversized coin to fidget with that has a couple stoic phrases 'memento mori' and 'amor fati' but thinking about it I guess they should be written in Greek instead of Latin since that's the written language they would have used, occasional guitar picks left in pockets, microfiber cloth for glasses. In the winter I usually also keep chapstick, tissues, pens, mints, etc in my coat.

That coin sounds super cool, I really like what I know of Stoicism, at some point I wanna learn more about it

[-] Echolynx@lemmy.zip 2 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Another Muji pen enjoyer! Also, you gotta get one of those quarter keeper keychains that Aldi sells. I've got mine on the keyring.

Weirdly enough, I think I have that same carabiner, or at least the same type.

if only you took the photo 40 seconds earlier 👀

[-] Cris_Color@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Lol, I didn't even notice that, yeah that's a missed opportunity
