Since this thread popped up a couple of months ago, I've found myself concerned with what's on my person at any given time. As such, while my standard EDC isn't quite perfect, it has improved. It now consists of:
*UZI tactical pen. Aside from being a writing utensil, it also has a glass break point, a handcuff key, and can be useful as a weapon, if need be.
*Smith & Wesson handcuff key. I can actually recall a party where this thing would have been useful.
*Zippo lighter. I used to carry one; now I do again.
*Bic lighter. Just in case. Besides, a little tube of explosive gas might have an alternate use one day. Who knows.
*Cigarettes. Useful for bee stings. Seen it happen. Also useful for keeping me civil.
*Loose change.
*Paper money.
*SOG Multi-Tool. Has pliers, file, beer opener, soupcan opener, blade, awl, and screwdrivers. Will soon be retro - fitted with lockpicks, possibly at the expense of something else.
********************************
50% of the time, I still leave my wallet and my phone in the truck. Depending on what truck key I grab, I may also have pepper spray on my person, or the pointy eared cat head.
I have a secondary multitool coming to me; a smaller size and slightly different features. I also plan to replace the tie cords in my various hoodies with paracord. If I wore shoes with laces, I'd replace the laces with paracord, too. As it is, I wear boots. So, I'm trying to figure out what I can tuck into boot shafts.
Like I said, not perfect, but it has gotten better over the past couple of months.
