Thinking about the Mexico thread and how a Swiss Army knife in my pocket almost got me thrown in Mexican Jail got me thinking we don't have an EDC thread.

Here's what's in my pockets at work tonight... cheap but decent Energizer 300 lu flashlight with a Surefire rechargeable battery and a Benchmade 940.

Been carrying that same knife for a year, and love it, once I got a decent edge on it It's been great.
My flashlight is a Olight Warrior Mini 2
 
Front left: Cell phone (unfortunately sometimes 2 with work :homer:)

Front right: wallet, work keys and a knife(either a mini griptillian or a folding utility knife if I'm at work. I like to carry a basic multitool but the clip got bent)

Back pockets have nothing unless its temporary like a tool or gloves. Gave up sitting on my wallet years ago.

Front appendix: (I thought I would hate this, but it's the only place I've found thag works driving as I'm in and out of trucks or equipment all day) Currently carry a sig 365xl and 2 extra mags, but just picked up a 365 x macro just don't have the light or holster for it yet.

Have a ccw belt too that is actually pretty nice like everyone says.
 
Same things that have been there for the last 25 years.

Usually this along with air pods / corded headset. Light provided via smart phone built in flashlight function.

From time to time I will replace knife with Leatherman Wingman or Wenger multitool.

Jesus Christ. 2 extra mags? Learn to shoot.
 
Leatherman OHT, Coast HP3R, a CRKT Burnout and a wallet. Pistol depends on what I'm doing, sometimes a fancy Glock clone + a spare mag in a T-Rex sidecar, sometimes S&W 642 + two speed loaders in my pocket.

Hate to break it to you but 99% of shootings are over in 3 shots or less. I can draw and put 3 shots in the A zone at 7 yards in 2 seconds or less. If you are carrying a gun for protection and can’t do that your ass needs to go shoot.

Ok, I'll bite, wtf do you need nail clippers on a daily basis for? :confused:

Not a daily basis, but they come in handy often enough that I always carry a pair.

Cutting off a chunk of skin from that fresh new cut you just got? Check
Hang nails? Check
Ripped half a nail off? Check.
Splinter? Check


Even comes in handy as a screw driver from time to time
 
Wallet
3” folding pocket knife
Insulin and syringe
Key ring for house and truck
Phone
$0.86
Jumbo Sharpie marker
NAA .22 mag mini revolver
