Every Day Carry – EDC

by Phil on November 5, 2008

So tonight I found some time to whip out a new review for you guys. This isn’t really a review of a single product but more of a look at what I generally am caught with in my pockets. I thought it would be fun for everyone to post comments or photos to the flickr group about their EDC.  If you don’t have a flickr membership you should get one.  They are free.

So this first image is a look at some of my basic EDC items.  Benchmade Mini-Griptilian Knife (reviewed below), Surefire E1E Executive (also below), moleskin notebook, swiss army watch (review coming soon), ipod nano, canon powershot SD750 camera, and my wallet.  I also carry a few other items but these are my current favorites.

This next image was really just an excuse to include my newest handgun, the Walther P99 and a mag.  I am loving this little 9mm.  It is with out a doubt the most comfortable handgun I have ever held.  Review on this (and a fun video of my wife shooting it) coming soon.

Real nice pics – crisp image, and the background you chose is cool.

I like Moleskine also, but for functionality and in-the-field stuff I use Rite in the Rain notebooks. You can check ‘em out if you like.

Nice gun. I have a P22 that is great to shoot. Prefer the XD for 9mm even though its larger.

Dang, that’s a heck of an EDC setup! Very nice.

i carry much the same items. though i have a Gerber multi tool.
and how do you people walk around without a lighter? fire is a basic daily tool, even cave men knew that.

I’d have to agree. The Walther P99 is a comfortable, reliable, gun . I have a Springfield XD-9 but a buddy of m ine let me use his P99 for some defensive training classes. Hands down my favorite 9mm.

Nice setup. I think to carry all of that stuff you would need some pretty serious pockets. I carry a wallet, cell phone, pocket knife (Schrade OldTimer), keys and handkerchief and that is about all the room I have. A flash light would be nice I guess but that’s more of a 1 for the house, 1 for the truck type of thing.

nice, but you could exchange the camera, watch and ipod with a well-chosen smartphone.

haha, yeah, this is really old. In 2006 the options were a lot more limited. Today I just carry my iphone. Thanks for the comment though!
