Top Practical Everyday Carry Items You Need

babaylon, that is well-stocked. Do you EDC it?

Yes, that little pouch is the core of my EDC, but certainly not everything I customarily carry in my handbag everywhere I go, which is a much longer list.

If I'm going through an airport, the Swiss Army Knife and OC spray get taken out, and I use the manicure scissors in my toiletries kit.

I always find myself in EDC discussions that are mostly men, and I get a chuckle out of how little most men carry, even when they are trying to Be Prepared, compared to what most women carry on an everyday basis.

EDC is about more than mechanic's tools and self-defense or survival tools.

My toiletries kit, for instance, in another small wristlet pouch (with a lanyard) in my handbag that armors me against public restrooms: spray bottle of isopropyl alcohol, Lysol-to-Go spray, pocket pack of tissues, pocket pack of toilet seat covers, extra panty liners/pads, and a few other incidentals. Women's restrooms can be remarkably messy and unstocked with supplies.

Covers injured fingers, can hold a quart of water in a pinch, can tie off small electrical wires or cover electrical connections, a fishing bobber in a pinch, or you could use it for windshield advertising going down the strip, never know when you might need one or more of these!

I definitely would not drink anything out of a lubricated condom. They do still make unlubricated ones, and they even make condom-sized packets of lube, should you need that sort of thing.
