Those who don’t identify as a fella also welcome to answer!

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.

    Flashlights are small and cheap. Drop one down a crack? Oh, well, at least it was my $30 flashlight instead of my $800 cell phone. They also can be turned down to improve battery life. Mine has days of battery life at its lowest.

      I can see that but I like minimalism. The fewer things I carry around the better.

      I don’t even put my car key on my house keys bunch anymore.

        I can see wanting to keep it very minimalist, but I’ve slimmed down my pockets pretty well already so I have some space to spare. Besides, the flashlight I have is about the size of the AA-sized battery it uses, so I find the benefits outweigh the slight cost.

          You’ve not understood the word minimalist. I like the minimal number of items in my pockets.

          You’re not into minimalism. I have no problem with that. We’re all different.

            Oh, yeah, don’t get me wrong, my pocket EDC isn’t minimalist. I have ADHD, so I find that I work best if I can depend on a medium number of items always being with me. A few less things for my brain to keep track of, because they are always there.
