| 16 | +The other day I was taking care of a fresh mosquito bite with the heat-it that's part of my EDC ("everyday carry"), and that reminded me that I'd been meaning to do a quick write-up about my EDC for ages. |
| 17 | + |
| 18 | +On top of my keys (with some meds and my second factor tokens) and my phone (currently a Pixel 6a) I usually carry a little pouch with me as pictured above. |
| 19 | + |
| 20 | +Unpacking it fully, it looks like this: |

| 23 | + |
| 24 | +So what is all this stuff? Here we go: |
| 25 | + |
| 26 | +1. a full miniature RPG dice set (you never know when you need to roll on something) |
| 27 | +2. Troika Liliput pen (ballpoint pen, ruler, stylus, screwdriver) |
| 28 | +3. small pill tube with painkillers (I tend to get weather related headaches) |
| 29 | +4. Leatherman Squirt PS4 |
| 30 | +5. small rechargeable LED flashlight (white light, red light & UV, plus emergency flashing) |
| 31 | +6. small lighter (I don't smoke, I just prefer to have a fire and emergency light source on me) |
| 32 | +7. 3d printed emergency whistle |
| 33 | +8. small refreshment towel (in case I need to wash my hands but can't) |
| 34 | +9. hygiene baggy & tampon (in case I misjudge my cycle or need to help someone else who misjudged theirs) |
| 35 | +10. USB-C heat-it (little gadget I can plug into my phone and control from an app that helps with mosquito bites through heat - consider it a really portable form of the popular bite-away wand) |
| 36 | +11. two glucose sweets (always good to have something on hand for myself or others) |
| 37 | +12. meds against motion sickness (which I sadly suffer from greatly, especially in cars I'm not driving myself) |
| 38 | +13. short USB-C to USB-A cable for charging my phone, plus a SIM tool |
| 39 | +14. (not pictured) a key for a safe |
| 40 | + |
| 41 | +And that's it with regards to my EDC! I'm currently thinking about sewing a custom pouch, as the store bought one I currently use could really use better zippers and a slightly different internal organisation, but that's a future project. |
| 42 | + |
| 43 | +I'll do my best to also add a post about my portable solder kit soon 😁 In the meantime, feel free to get in touch [on Mastodon](https://chaos.social/@foosel) for questions or comments! |
