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.

When not in school:

Phone with wallet case
Keys
Wireless headphones

When in school: all the above plus:

Yorepek 50L backpack (everything else goes in here)
Laptop (notes, actual work) (Debian w/ KDE Plasma)
Laptop charger
Grandma's laptop from 15 years ago that runs like dog shit (backup, also Debian, can still access my repos and load web pages, decoy if robbed)
Tablet (books)
Voltmeter (yes all the time)
Blank computer paper and pencils (derivations)
Guitar picks (Dunlop Gator Grip 2.0mm; for playing death metal, but also makes for a great tool)

Wireless headphones get extra priority because they allow me to control what I hear. For example, instead of getting sensory overload (I'm autistic) at the supermarket, I can replace it with death metal, which is better for some reason.

How much does your bag end up weighing?

I'm not sure, but I don't have trouble carrying it. It's so big because sometimes I have to bring in projects and/or test equipment.
