What do you carry on a daily basis?
Found this EDC pouch on cheap online Chinese dollarstore site Temu. Anyone use this or something simila? How do you carry your core EDC items "fashionably"? As someone that doesn't always have pocket space, I ordered and can't wait to get it!
Here's where I found it https://share.temu.com/8IilwA6TlnA
Aside from my phone and wallet, I only carry my keychain. Each goes in a separate pocket.
I do keep two small tools on my keychain:
A small, bladeless multitool. Can take on flights. Looks like this particular one is no longer being manufactured, but there are a number of vendors that make a variety of tiny keychain multitools. Just a bit over 1 3/4" long.
A tiny folding knife, which IIRC is a Spyderco Bug that I got on sale. Slightly smaller than the multitool. I remove it if flying.
Doesn't really require much storage space.
I just keep it in my backpack as an organizer.
Anything I carry with me every day goes in a specific space in my backpack 🤷

keys and knife are both attached to a belt chain

I tried multiple EDC Pouches. One very similar to the one you ordered. And I don’t like any quite much. I do have one with some tools to enhance my carry, but it normally sits in my car or my backpack depending on the carry of the day.
Pockets, whatever doesn't fit in a pocket doesn't get EDC.
Plus a man purse/satchel for the most days carry.
I use an Arc Co. - Bolder
I carry a few different cards on the inside card holder, a few bandaids of various sizes in the mini inside pocket. Then in the back card slot I keep my main credit card, and a couple 'rewards' cards for places I frequently go for lunch.
Then the front right pocket has a Swiss army knife (hiker) that I modified the small blade on (into a warncliff blade shape for wood carving), and the left pocket has a mini-Sharpie, and a space pen.
I just carry it in my front right pocket, it's super compact, and has so much in it that I use everyday.
I've carried it everyday for over a year, and it's still like new, incredibly well made.
I have a small pouch, just one compartment, that fits in my back pocket. I keep any relevant cards (ID, credit cards, etc) in there as well as the things I like to have on a daily basis like my earplugs (because noise sensitivity is a fucker), mini multi tool, lighter, my meds, fidgets, and whatnot.
On days when I have more stuff I want to bring, I have a Lunchbox backpack that’s actually a really great size for day to day stuff but isn’t a massive backpack
In my pocket lmao. if I saw you walking around with a tactical purse like this I'd absolutely lose it.
Hey, keep it friendly. That's not in the spirit of civil hobby discussion we look for here
Ok but for real that's a pocket with extra steps. I choose what I wear based on what I need my clothes to do. If you have a pile of crap to lug around, the easy solution is to wear clothes that accommodates your crap. What possible utility would this provide that you don't get from some decent pants?
Obviously this thread is not for you.
Sorry I missed your response, what actual utility does this provide over a pocket?
And here I was thinking I'd like a non-camo version. I have a large phone (I'd carry a tablet-size phone if I could) and a lot of my clothes have shallow pockets. I consistently lose my phone in that black hole between the driver's seat and center console. A lanyard case might be good enough.
I don't understand the hate. Do whatever works for you. People are childish. Seriously half a step away from using homophobic slurs.
Don't worry about them, I think it'd be very useful (again, limited pocket space), and would look good with strap as a side carry.
Historically antique pockets are very similar to this, tied around the waist instead though. So modern pockets are 'pockets with extra steps' not the other way around.
I have this pouch just branded with olight though, use it to keep my multitool and bits, pen, knife and change in the glove box of my truck.
I have that same pouch. I just chuck it in my bag.
That's a viperade design.
