My usual EDC:
- Key, with Fox 40 whistle and Fenix E01 (both been on the same Black Diamond keyring since 2011)
- HDS EDC LE (250, XP-G2) (carried mostly HDS since early 2018)
- Wallet (carried since 2008)
- Coin wallet (carried since 2008, so not carried nasty germ covered coins in my pocket for about 13 years)
- Sharpie
- Phone (obviously not in the image)
As you can probably see, I like things that last forever (or at least a very long time).
I have also carried a Goruck GR1 daily since 2018, which holds my most important EDC item which is my BPA free water bottle that I've used daily for over 10 years (eco friendly, and I've saved so much money never having to buy a drink when out, ever).
First thing I do after getting home is wipe down my phone with alcohol, been doing this everyday for over 10 years. So if anything looks wet, it is, as I usually also wash my EDC lights with soap everyday (even before Covid). For sure if I used them during the day.
Good habits to get into I'd say, as millions of people world wide also started doing the same and wiping down their phones daily about 18 months ago. lol
[Edit, just realized I've been (mostly) carrying that exact same Sharpie since 2011 too. Still writes perfectly, as hardly ever used.]
