[ edc - my every day carry ]

Last update: March 09, 2026

During November last year I saw a trend on Bear Blog of people posting their “What’s in my inventory”-posts, after absurdpirate’s writing prompt for the Bear Blog Carnival. Wikipedia explains Everyday carry like this:

Everyday carry (EDC) or every-day carry is a collection of useful items that are consistently carried on person every day.1

This reminded me of the /edc- or /carry-pages people around the small web are showing of, and I wanted to do the same!

My Inventory

Picture of most of the items in my inventory

The Items

  • iPhone 13: My current mobile phone - I just put my case there as I took the photo with the phone, keeping my Gengar-Pokémon card close by!
  • iPod 6th Gen: This is a (currently) unmodded 6th Gen iPod, with stock parts. Also has some Apple EarPods attached to it.
  • Keys: Apartment keys w/ my Spiderman lego figurine. Also a flash drive with Arch Linux on it lol - maybe I’ll change it out with NixOS soon (as that’s my current OS).
  • Wallet: My dads old wallet. Contains a bank cards, IDs, bandaids, allergy pills, paracet, a picture of my SO, and a stencil of a tattoo I wanted some years ago - but never got.
  • Headphones: A pair of Sony WH-1000XM4. Best headphones ever.
  • Kobo Clara BW: My newest addition! I love it and use it almost every day when I don’t read a physical book.
  • Nintendo DS: A green DS that I use to pass the time. The case also has a tech-deck in it.
  • Olympus AZ-200 Superzoom: This is my new camera - can’t express how much I love shooting film on it!
  • Ballpoint pen: With 4 colors!!
  • Moleskine Plain Cahier: A pocket notebook for quickly jotting down notes, todos, etc.
  • Antibac, kleenex & gum: Can never be to safe for the germs out there, nosebleeds happen, & gum is essential!
  • Casio watch + black ring: Some accessories I typically wear.
  • Flightbag: A brown LACOSTE flight bag I found in a thrift shop - super nice for small walks when I only need a couple of things (+ a Kirby dangling on it, which a friend won in South Korea at a machine lol).
  • Shoulder bag; I use my shoulder bag for typical work days to have my stuff in; work laptop, food, waterbottle, etc. Also inherited from my dad, love the National Geographic theme.

So if I died in a videogame, that’s basically all the loot you would get!
