My regular carry right now when I step out of the house includes:

  • A leather wallet my grandpa gave me (the circle imprints are from the quarters I use to get a shipping cart at aldi)
  • A hankerchief I made with my freind when she taught me how to use a sewing machine for the first time
  • My trusty Casio a700
  • An old field notes notebook. We had a bunch left over from Geo-Caching when I was in scouts a kid
  • A muji gel pen (I adore these pens 10/10)

And my keys with

  • A keychain from when my friend took me to see a league of legends semifinals that was being played near us
  • Two mini library cards
  • And a medication container I keep melatonin and some ADHD meds in (Non-stimulant, not that I expect cops will care if I’m pulled over 😅)

    FYI: The consensus among health experts is that condoms should ideally not be stored in wallets for more than a few days, if not just a few hours. If you must carry a condom in your wallet, it’s best to use it the same day to ensure its integrity.

        lol and if the condom has been in your wallet long enough to imprint the leather, then you’re maybe too optimistic

        That looks like a great little carry, you should post it to the community!

        How do you like the uniball one pen? I used to love my uniball signos, those are some excellent gel pens

          i’m super picky about writing utensils and the “one” pen isn’t one of my favorites lol

          but it works and i needed something somewhat visible in case i drop the pad somewhere

          current fave pen is the pentel energel “kuro,” before that it was papermate’s inkjoy gel

          the signo is a great pen too. i also really like zebra’s G301 gel pen, though i can’t stand the ballpoint version

            I’ve not tried the Kuro, I’ll have to keep an eye out for one!

            Is the ballpoint version of the zebra that all metal one (at least on the outside) edc folks all love? I wonder if the refills are interchangeable

      A crappy wallet that at the same time is massive in my pocket but can’t fit much inside, my keys on a carabiner with a bluetooth tracket and a half broken Gerber Dime multitool. And of course my trusty Emisar D4V2 flashlight.

      Edit: how did a forget my watch? A nice Seiko Lord Matic Special from 1971
