For those who are not familiar with the term EDC it’s not electric daisy carnival. It stands for everyday carry. It is a common term for the gun enthusiast or survivalist. It shows you what people carry on their body on the day to day basis that help them prepare for whatever life throws at them. Today I will be showing you some of the items I carry in my pockets and body on a day to day basis. Of course, it changes over time and no I don’t carry a gun with me because I live in California, where almost everything gun related is illegal. I will have a separate post describing the guns I own and the guns I want. That will be at a later time.
and side note I don’t always carry all of them at the same time, it depends on where I’m going or what I’m doing.
Right Pocket
Key Smart Key system
I personally dont like dingling keys in my pockets. It makes me sound like a door bell walking down the street. I have been in the market to find something that can solve this problem at a low cost and it looks good. Thats where i found the Keysmart. Its low cost, easily to set up, and it looks and a Victorinox swiss army knive.
Keysmart $10.00

Insert Before Flight Keychain
This is mainly just for decoration purpose. It just looks like one of those key pilots use before their flights. It makes me feel like I am driving a jet every time I insert my keys. There are other ones too, like nuclear launch key. Personally, this one is my favorite.
Key Chain $5

My Car Key
Not much to talk about here. It’s just my car key nothing fancy
Flashlights
I almost always carry some sort of flashlight with me. You never know when you are going to need it. Granted that now with Flashlight included in our cell phone we might not need it as much. But I always feel more comfortable having an actual flashlight with me. And with everyday carry, you don't want something that's too big. The Olight S1 Baton is my favorite due to the fact that it is so small. It's small but it produces 500 Lumen, that's comparable to some of the larger flashlights that cost over $60 dollars.
Olight S1 Baton $44.95

Left Pockets
iPhone 7 plus
I personally prefer the Plus because of its larger size of the screen. And the camera on it is better in my opinion.
Pitaka Phone Case
The phone case I use is the Pitaka Case. It's super low profile and durable. It is made out of Aramid Fiber. That's normally used for body armor. So you know your Phone is in good hand. It's look is similar to carbon fiber and its scratch resistance and it also comes with a screen protector. It's around $40 dollar but it's well worth the money. I honestly want to try and shoot at the cases ( without my phone in it of course) to see how well it held up.

Tactical Pen
I generally carry a tactical pen with me for two reasons. 1) In case of emergency when I am in need of a pen, I always have one prepared. 2) also, in case of emergency if I was trap in my car or getting attacked by people I can use the blunt end to defend myself from the attacker or to shatter the glass of my car.
Tactical Pen $18.99

Back Pocket
Nomatic Wallet
My everyday carry wallet is the Nomatic Basic. It holds about 6 cards and has a pocket for either cash or keys. I like it cause its low profile, slim and minimalistic. It doesn't take a lot of spaces so it's not uncomfortable to sit on. I also have a Mont Blanc Wallet that I use to go to different events. But honestly, this is my go-to wallet on a day to day basis. Nomatic also makes some great notebook, watches, and backpack. Be sure to check them out. I bought pretty much every nomatic offers lol.

Belt
Gerber Knife
This is my daily carry knife, its cheap its reliable, and its sharp. The ring in the front gives you a tight grip and the skeletonized design reduce the weight to make it super light and agile. I had this one for quite some time now and its still by far my favorite knife. I mean don't get me wrong the benchmade SOG dagger and the spyderco i have are great knives but they are so expensive and I wouldn't want to take it out and accidentally lose it or something.
Gerber Remix $26.76: http://amzn.to/2tH8xMO
Body
Daniel Wellington watch
One of my favorite watch to wear. It is simple and sophisticated. And the price doesn't break your bank. You can wear it on day to day basis. nightlife, work, or fine dining this watch fits any situation. Another watch I wear is the Luminox Evo Navy Seal this one is slightly pricier. However, super rugged and tough. I wore it to the tough mudder in California and it took a beating but come out just fine.

Bomber & Co Paracord Bracelet
When I go hiking or camping, this bracelet will always be on me. It's made out of paracord which to any survivalist or outdoorsman it is probably the most versatile tool out there. You can use it to fish, you can tie a spearhead to a stick, create a tourniquet, or you can simply use it as a toothpick. That's only a few of the things you can do with Paracord. A separate article will be created on the usage of paracord. BTW, it also comes with a flint stone to help you start a fire in the wild. And plus, it's pretty stylish.
