Photo Of My EDC

So, a picture's worth a thousand words, right?

Here's a photo of my basic EDC. This is what I carry with me when I leave the house with only my purse. The one thing missing from the picture is my Ken Onion Mini Mojito knife, which is my pocket folder knife. I carry it always if I'm wearing pants with pockets, but leave it behind if I'm wearing a dress or skirt.

(Also missing from the photo is my cell phone, which I carry everywhere.)


Contents:

• Keychain with keys, small Spyderco folder knife, small Swiss Army knife, Nano Streamlight flashlight, St. Christopher medal (the patron saint of travelers)
  
• Paracord bracelet
• Wallet with small Winchester folder knife and LED mini flashlight
• Black pouch contains hairbrush/mirror compact, Epi-Pen, mini moleskin notebook, pen, chapstick, lipstick, folding nail file, large Swiss Army knife, mini BIC lighter, tube of hand cream and mini Mag lite

My wallet and the black pouch usually go into my purse, which also contains a very basic first aid kit (band-aids, some Benadryl, couple of aspirin, etc.).

You'll notice some redundancy, but here's why: I rarely have everything on me at all times. If Hubby is with me, he usually drives, so I leave my keys at home. If I run into a store and leave him in the car, I often grab just my wallet (not my entire purse). If I am running a really quick errand, I might take just my keys and a credit card. Thus, I carry a knife and flashlight on my keys, in my wallet, AND in my purse so all my bases are covered.
