Everyday Carry Essentials EDC For The Modern & Discerning Gentleman + Top EDCs + My Pocket Dump

[@MrTrenttness]

My number one EDC item is a gun. If I'm in a jam and I need anything else like a wallet, phone, or a pen, the gun comes in real handy.

[@felix34ever1]

It's not like a watch tells you the time much better than your phone, your phone is probably better since it can autocorrect itself and detect timezone automatically

[@justuslm]

​@@felix34ever1 It depends. Because your phone usually gets its time from the mobile network, it won't be as precise as a radio controlled watch using atomic clock signals. However, when you use GPS, your phone acquires a very accurate time reading, and it should also use this to correct its system clock, making it basically as accurate as a radio controlled watch. A watch still has the advantage of battery life, though, especially if it has a solar panel built in or is fully mechanical (in that case it will likely be less precise than your phone, though). Also, looking at your wrist watch is usually faster than looking at your phone, and certainly more elegant, as well as polite in a social setting since looking at your phone seems like your disconnecting from the conversation as other people can't see that you're just checking the time.

[@sambolino44]

I stopped wearing a wristwatch when I started carrying a smartphone. I started wearing a wristwatch again when I got tired of having to pull my phone out of my pocket and wake it up just to see what time it is.

And for totally missing the point (that you need weapons in THE white 1st world country - called the USA - which was the main point of my post...) You realize that "certain 3rd world countries" a) doesn't include all of Africa, and b) includes quite a lot of (white) countries out of Africa, too? And that "clean drinking water" is actually an issue in some "white" first world countries, too (look no further than the USA and Canada in that regard - does the name "Flint" ring a bell?). You tried to show that I'm biased (and ridicule me by changing the topic to clean drinking water, which is a whole other topic), but only managed to show your own strong bias by doing so. Next time, try to think and actually understand what somebody else wrote before you answer - it might help.

I was glad to see a pocket knife on the list. Coming from the South I was taught its just one of those things you never leave the house without, like a wristwatch. There are just too many uses for it. Sidearm, yeah. But mine come with badge and cuffs. I just change my carry depending on if I'm wearing a belt or suspenders. By the way, body armour absolutely ruins the lines of even the best put together suit. I have pics, it looks ridiculous. Plan ahead. Professional tip. If you wear concealed body armour for work. Bring it with you to buy your work suits and shirts around it. A good Taylor can hide a world of sins.

For those of us who carry keys and don't want to wreck our pants, I highly recommend a good key case. Cheap key cases, unfortunately break and you could loose a key, causing an enormous headache. Although it was ridiculously expensive, I've been using a Louis Vuttion key case for several years now and is fantastic and still looks new. I used to carry Rolfs leather ones which were good for 10 or 12 years, but they don't make them any more. A must have for the gentleman who carries keys!

I've found it's easy to be minimal while maintaining a lot of practicality. A small, quality knife will serve you well for cutting most things an average homeowner may encounter. I dig the small models Spyderco--very light, but incredibly sharp. I also have a small Victorianox 5-function I keep in my watch pocket with a small screwdriver carabiner from Nite Ize clipped to it. A good torch from a company that you won't find in a hardware store checkout line is a great tool and good investment. Streamlight and SureFire make some of the best handheld lights available. I like the EDCL-1T from SF and ProTac 1L from SL. A company that makes holster clips for firearms called Discreet Carry Concepts makes a pocket clip called the Mod 3 that is great for attaching your keys to so they don't sink to the bottom of your trouser pocket. For pens, I have a small Levenger pen clipped to the inside of my wallet fold. It's an excellent, albeit small writing utensit that pulls through when the waiter forgets your pen

The G and GH series are DSL (I'm currently using a G6) but the have also made the S series which is the world first full frame m4/3 mirrorless DSL camera. Anyways it goes the 4/3 are not a downstep. In fact I have owned 3 Lumix and 2 have been m4/3. I prefer them overwhelmingly to Nikon and Canon and they take just as good photographs if not better.

Alternatives include the Walther PPK (if you're willing to sacrifice practicality for style), the Colt 1911 (classic and reliable), and the Makarov PM (arguably the best of both worlds). You'll probably want to shy away from being seen with a Luger P08, though.

[@rogerd.miller1095]

The idea of EDC without a knife and a handgun is foreign to me. Carrying these items also requires a different approach to dressing. You are not likely to wear a vest if you are carrying a handgun, unless you are carrying it in a shoulder holster.

[@happycamper4315]

That's because from an American point of view it IS foreign. A handgun is unnecessary and illegal in the UK and many countries in Europe.

[@windward2818]

For evening I also carry my cigarette lighter (Dunhill Rollagas 1974) and cigarette case with B&H Menthols + some 120 Ladies Cigarettes. I don't smoke but most of my friends do, and the Menthol is a go to cigarette for young people if they smoke or vape. The cigarette case has a mirror inside for the ladies if they want to check their makeup (it is actually a woman styled case). It's a classy move to let ladies use the mirror, that way they have the option of going to powder their nose. The cigarette case goes in your right hand inside jacket (Sport coat) pocket. Always retrieve the case with your left hand, open as you pull out of pocket, you won't drop it this way, and when you present it, the case is already open. You do not have to use two hands to open the case. Present the case and your partner can take the cigarette they want. Then close the case as you put it back into your pocket. The lighter is in your jacket left hand pocket. If you have a tailor you can have a small lighter pocket to house your Dunhill (it has a very small footprint) sewn into the jacket. You want to be able to handle and light cigarettes from a sitting position without having to dig into your trouser pockets and be able to retrieve relatively quickly compared to everyone else. To get good at handling your case, just practice while watching TV or listening to music. Then it will come naturally. Understand that cigarettes are not taboo in many places around the world. If you think you may go to an upscale cigar bar then carry a cigar lighter and cutter. I like the triple flame lighters from Calibri (guys are really impressed how well they light a cigar). I carry these in my trouser pockets.

My EDC carry includes a flashlight and not some wimpy penlight. I have a small powerful, 240 lums flashlight that goes pretty much everywhere I go. Its small enough to fit in the pocket easily, and bright enough to light up a room if needed, and its adjustable lens lets me focus the beam where I need it. Also of note, is the time of year, in fall-winter, and early spring when it gets dark much earlier than summer, having a flashlight is essential. The rechargeable batteries are essential, while not technically part of the carry stuff, they do make it easier, having several sets to keep charged for easy swapping when the current set goes is a life saver, and make the whole thing much easier. I also carry a knife with most of the time. The knife of choice these days is my Kershaw, Its small, has assisted open and has a mixed blad the end of it being a straight blade, while it has a section towards the handle that is serrated, for jobs that the regular blade won't do. And ist cheap, In price, not quality. I chose a low-cost knife for everyday carry because if you lose it, or have to lose it, Its only 20.00 at Walmart,. Point being If I lose a knife I don't want to lose a 100.00 knife, I'd rather lose 2-3 20.00 knives then one expensive knife. Also these days, I've started carrying an extra USB cord, and a wall very small wall charger with me on long days. Being able to plug into a port or my charger to keep them S7 Edge alive is essential.

[@patrickmessinger9476]

Absolutely awesome info for EDC, however one thing that was left out was a back light source, not sure if this was mentioned in other comments, but a small LED light device similar in size of a chap stick container would be a great back up light source if in a building during a power outage.

[@assholedestroyer4207]

I like that you didn’t go on a rant when talking about the lighter

[@eustaceking2164]

I like your edc but the first thing that goes in my pocket everymorning is a knife. Most times a more traditional knife because I’m not an FBI agent but they are very useful. I also cant go without my watch and normal keys.

[@honestdave]

Eustace King my knife, watch, and leatherman are my first

[@Reptiliancentaur781]

In order from first to last Knife, usually my kershaw leek Wallet Phone

[@D0NtPh34rTh3R34p3R]

Austin Holliday I used to carry a leek, now I'm all about utility knives. Milwaukee fastback is my current carry, I even got one for my girlfriend. Honestly a knife is the most useful tool anyone would carry.

[@honestdave]

D0NtPh34rTh3R34p3R personally i love spydercos

[@eustaceking2164]

Honest Dave I love Spyderco’s too! My favourite is the military.

[@diegosalomao6890]

Keys, Wallet, smartphone, Victorinox Spartan, seiko skx, pocket handkerchief, Parker jotter ballpoint, maybe sunglasses, a lighter is ok and 1 or 2 aspirines. I think that's enough!

[@rashiksharar]

Could have bought an iPhone but uses Android instead. Respect to you my good sir. #TeamAndroid

Gentlemen don’t judge by what phone others carry. A phone is a tool be it an iphone or a galaxy note.

A note about wristwatches and smartphones as a businessman... In a professional setting such as a board meeting, meeting with a client, etc., checking the time on your phone can be clunky and rude. It takes half a second to glance quickly at a wristwatch.

[@liambrunner3026]

OMG I have the same phone as him. I now feel special

[@Rodoadrenalina]

For the the basic EDC is phone, pen, something to write on(post it notes on wallet works a charm), a small knife and a cloth or tissues to clean yourself or something.

He needs a flintlock to keep rufians at bay

[@greencreekranch]

You know... I disagree ninety percent of the time but i usually do give his videos a like because i really enjoy how passionate he is.

[@fahimmosharrof7209]

[@ChrisPollitt]

I number my EDC's and count through before I walk out the door: 1. Handkerchief 2. Wallet 3. Keys (nail clipper on ring) 4. Smart phone 5. Warm jacket (fleece) 6. Dry jacket (windbreaker) 7. Hat 8. Umbrella or Sunglasses 9. Lunch and/or Water bottle 10. Reading glasses (in case) In my man-purse: a) pen b) notepad c) business cards d) magnifying glass e) plastic spoon f) moist hand wipes

[@MatejB69]

Whenever I go I always carry swiss knife and bigger knife on ankle, also I have few knives in my car and even a sword

[@ryangatien6615]

Instead of a briefcase I use a leather padfolio with a handle on it. It has a classic look, and it works best for me in my profession. I also like to have a leather wallet case for my phone. Not to use as a wallet, but just a phone case. I have a money clip and and a leather business card holder that has been working great for years.

[@GeFlixes]

First thought: A model 36 Smith & Wesson revolver.

[@kennysainclair]

Should you walk with loose change and if so what item you would recommend?

[@sirblackstone]

I always carry a 2oz pocket knife. It's long and thin, so it's very easy to carry.

[@jojo890xd4]

sirblackstone but why?

[@markbennettjr]

No handgun ? No knife ? No flash light ? No lighter ? No first aid ? No mint or gum ?....THIS IS SOME MAJOR MAN SLACKING

[@jerseykaari]

I've found that an exploding pen, a solid laser equipped watch and a compact Walther can be absolutely essential at certain family gatherings.

[@lisocampos8080]

Aren't you supposed to have a non folding straight wallet when jacket carrying?

[@finianholland7654]

“Skip the backpack because it makes you look like a school boy.” Hard disagree. Backpacks are less bulky/more ergonomic than their alternatives and they have more capacity. Even if they look bad, the utility gap is too enormous to ignore in my opinion.

[@rala7079]

this is more about suits with a suit it looks really bad

[@cosmic-fortytwo]

I would highly recommend a tiny AAA flashlight by Maratac, Olight or Lumintop. They are super handy when you drop something under your seat on the airplane, or have to read the serial number on the back of a server.
