EDC for the Average Joe

EDC (every day carry), is basically what you carry on your person everyday. You can carry as much or as little as you want. Here is my list of what I think you should carry on your person.

Multitool

I think a multitool is one of the most important things you can carry. They have millions of uses, from tightening bolts to sawing through trees, I use mine daily. The multitool I carry is a Leatherman Juice CS4, I would highly recommend it!

Wallet

Well, this one is pretty obvious. You need your wallet. I carry an Ian Sinclair Cardsharp in mine. It is a great back-up knife.

Cell Phone

Zippo

Someway to make fire is essential, especially in the winter. I carry a Zippo lighter because it is a reliable, time-proven design. If you run out of fluid, you can use the striker to start a fire. I always carry extra flints in the lighter, just in case one wears out.

Bandana

A bandana, like everything else on this instructable, has many uses. You can use it to dry your hands, wipe your nose, sling your arm, or even as a tourniquet. If you carry a brightly colored one, you can use it as a signaling device.

Earbuds (optional)

I listen to a lot of music. Close to three hours a day. I carry a pair of Symphonized NRG earbuds so I can listen to music on the go if I want to.
