Right now, my EDC only consists of a phone, a watch, and keys. Those are the things I feel naked without when I leave my apartment. I am planning to upgrade my EDC to the next level, and maybe help you do so as well. For that, I will do an extensive scan for products on the net, then review, compare, and rank different items based on price, users satisfaction among other criteria, and publish the findings in the next few blog posts.
Of course, there is no one-size-fits-all EDC, a medical student and a engineer won't carry around the same stuff. It also varies depending on the context: On-duty, Off-duty, weekend, wedding, travel..etc
What makes a good EDC? The 5 P's
