EDC - EveryDay Carry

[michaelwj]

Wow. Do you all actually carry all that every day? A knife? A flashlight?

I carry a phone, 2 keys, 1 debit card, my licence, and some lose notes and coins if I have them. I wear a watch (does that count as a carry?) No other camera, no wallet, definitely no knife (I keep a pocket knife in my 4WD). What else do I need on a daily basis?

All fits easily in a small shoulder bag - plus iPad, a camera and a bottle of water, if I want. On days I don’t want to carry my bag, everything bar the power bank fits into my jeans or jacket pocket without being bulky or weighing me down. To be fair, the penknife is only a couple of inches long, and the torch tiny.

Everything I carry regularly is stuff I’ve too frequently regretted not having on me in the past. I’d be rich if I were paid by everyone’s who’s borrowed my penknife - actually a Swiss army knife including screwdrivers, bottle opener and even tweezers!

I thought this thread was about every day carry with photographic equipment.
Every day carry without a dedicated camera is keys, wallet, phone.

Ignoring the mundane and domestic items; the things I carry around when I go out for leisure (a walk beside the river or through the woods) are usually a camera (Panasonic LX5) and binoculars (Zeiss 10 x 25).

Now and then I take a serious camera; meaning large and heavy and then all the wildlife vanishes. Take the LX5 and we trip over red/roe deer and so on...
