Fellas of Lemmy, what's your Every Day Carry (EDC)? (lemm.ee)

Those who don't identify as a fella also welcome to answer!

I'm getting tired of my wallet and I'm hoping to get some new ideas. Current EDC is my phone, wallet, and keys on a lanyard. Whatchu got?

Edit: I ought to be a little more specific with my EDC, since most people are kindly taking the time to do so.

Phone: Pixel 8 Pro Wallet: bulky leather wallet, I don't even remember the brand, I've had it so long. Keys: a stylized lanyard with various house keys, car key fob, and a keychain that reads "I hope your day is as good as my butt" from my wife. I have to keep that, you understand.

Misc: Burt's Bees chapstick, Listerine breath strips, and occasionally a utility knife depending on my destination.

It depends a bit on what bags I carry, what kinda pockets I have, what my needs are for that specific trip and what temperature it is.

Front right:

  • keys (2 house keys, 2 USB thumb drives, some decorative key fobs and a carabinier to attatch my bike lock key that needs to be inside the lock while riding)
  • 1 or 2 lighters
  • tobacco, filter and papers for rolling cigarettes (when I'm wearing a shirt with front a pocket, the rolling stuff goes there)
  • anything that's able to scratch my phone screen

Front left:

  • phone (pixel 5)
  • wallet (random leather wallet from amazon, that held up surprisingly well over the past ~5 years)

In my backpack for longer transit/going to the park etc:

  • wallet in the backpack now
  • headphones (bluetooth IEMs)
  • whatever novel I'm currently reading
  • umbrella
  • water bottle
  • a backup reusable shopping bag
  • flashlight (some cheap USB rechargeable LED light with both a focused beam and a bigger LED in the handle for illuminating larger spaces)
  • sometimes rolling stuff for joints inside a waist bag

When grocery shopping:

  • other, bigger backpack with several reusable shopping bags

When its hot:

  • a towel that I often just tuck in my pants a bit so it can dry better while hanging from my waist, when dry I usually keep it in my front left pocket
  • usually also a folding hand-held fan, in my backpack when I happen to carry it, otherwise front right pocket

When I go out but don't want to carry my backpack I put the following inside the waist bag and carry that across my chest:

  • cigarette rolling stuff, unless I've got a front pocket on my shirt
  • sometimes also joint rolling stuff
  • keys
  • wallet
  • usually headphones

Idk if this much detail was wanted but here you go lol
