Fellas of Lemmy, what's your Every Day Carry (EDC)? (lemm.ee)

Those who don't identify as a fella also welcome to answer!

I'm getting tired of my wallet and I'm hoping to get some new ideas. Current EDC is my phone, wallet, and keys on a lanyard. Whatchu got?

Edit: I ought to be a little more specific with my EDC, since most people are kindly taking the time to do so.

Phone: Pixel 8 Pro Wallet: bulky leather wallet, I don't even remember the brand, I've had it so long. Keys: a stylized lanyard with various house keys, car key fob, and a keychain that reads "I hope your day is as good as my butt" from my wife. I have to keep that, you understand.

Misc: Burt's Bees chapstick, Listerine breath strips, and occasionally a utility knife depending on my destination.

Flipside 4 wallet, put a clip on the lanyard to clip to my shorts so doesn't slip out of my pocket. I had a custom thin RFID made that I slipped between the outside of the lid's rfid-blocking plate and the plastic lid itself to get into my apt building's various doors. Wallet has all my cards and key, and cash for the rare times I have it.

I always carry a victorinox classic sd sak with a big orange Paracord lanyard on it so I don't lose track of it. It's black and limited edition with a cool skeleton carrying a Halloween bucket graphic.

I carry a Spyderco manbug as well, good slicer, small unscary size. Has super blue steel, so cool patina near the edge. I have a clip on that as well so doesn't fall out of my shorts pocket.

I have a modified Leatherman style ps as well, removed the scissors (scissors better on the sak anyways) and added a little titanium prybar that has a sharp enough edge for opening packages. That has a carabineer-style clip that clips on edge of my pocket.

I wear an apple watch ultra, good for apple pay, timers/alarms and texts. Siri to check stuff like sports scores in a pinch. Negates me needing actual phone, I tend to leave iPhone 13 mini in a cheap Etsy "Arnie" case (cameras are barrels of gun from that movie Commando) at home, unless I feel like I'll need the entertainment of f'ing with my phone wherever I'm going

I wear wedding ring out always, bracelet my wife made me often, next to the apple watch. Often have a mechanical wrist watch on other wrist, varies which (have a collection.) I often wear a couple/few Happy Beads bracelets with the mechanical watch to put the finishing touches.

Vast majority of the time I'm just wearing sandals, shorts & T-shirt (I work from home).

The above is my unique and probably awful/questionable taste, more of an admission than edc and/or fashion advice 😂😢
