These are one of the few items i carry with me every time I go about my daily routine. Let's talk about EDC. I do not carry all of these items all at one time. Depending on where I am going and what I am doing, the item I take with me vary. What do you carry?
A reliable flashlight that delivers enough brightness comes very handy at night or in a dark area. My personal favorite here is the Olight SR2 baton which delivers over 1000 lumens. But don't let iprotec and nitecore fool you, they are super bright as well. iProtec delivers 500 lumens and nitecore delivers 900 lumens.
This obviously I bring with me only when out nature seeing in the area where bears, coyotes, mountain lions are most likely to show up.
Pocket knife is a great tool. It is a tool that comes very handy and very useful in everyday uses. I do not suggest you go out and start carrying a pocket knife unless you know and familiar about knife law in your area. The yellow handle are Spyderco salt series, it is rust proof and these are good if you are going or doing water activities such as the ocean.
Here's one of the paracord i made few days ago using Youtube tutorial.
Thanks and enjoy.
