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.
Cruising sailor who lives on a small sailboat, if I leave the boat, this goes with me. Sometimes more depending.
Wallet, phone, knife, penlight, hat, backpack.
Backpack has: Passport, earbuds, rain fly, two garbage bags, canvas shopping bag, full tang knife, folding knife, headlamp, flashlight, penlight, 10mm socket, 50ml whiskey, flint/steel in a char pouch, extra keys, go pro, camera insert, phone power bank, 1st aid kit (scrapes to medium open wound), signal mirror, 406mhz EPIRB, 2 liter water bladder, small adjustable wrench, mini WD-40, lockpick kit, bandana, backup bucket hat, neck gator, small net bag with various GoPro parts, DEET repellent, extra pair of underwear, an emergency sewing kit, travel toothbrush, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY ABOVE ALL ELSE: something to wipe my butt with, TP or paper towels, or old clothes cut up if it’s really rough or I’m far away from supplies.
Attached to the backpack is an insulated water bottle in carrier and various carabiners.
I never know where I’ll be or what I’ll be doing, and once you are shoreside, plans can change in an instant, both good or bad depending on who you meet, weather etc.
[edit] and a pen & black Sharpie.
What part of the world?
Right now I’m anchored near a mangrove swamp outside of south Florida US. I’ll spend storm season here because the swamp offers protection and I’m 15 minutes or so away from it. Bahamas in November, Colombia for NYE and Brazil or Panama and back through the canal by this time next year when my Colombian visa expires.
Man… South Florida and Caribbean last place I want to be during storms. Interesting to hear the swamps are safer
You bury yourself in the mud, spider tie to tree roots, set anchors out to keep you from getting driven into the trees, and strip the decks and sails and stow it all and then STAB refresh on NHC repeatedly. I’ll ride out onboard up to a CAT 3. After that … Fucking finger of God through the earth mate, I’ll be in some parking garage huddled in a corner above the surge.
This is my last year in Hurricane Alley.
