You might be surprised to see just what items people carry on their person each and every day. That’s why it’s always interesting to see someone’s EDC loadout. One person’s setup may be ostentatious, while another’s is bare-bones basic. The beauty of it all is that one’s EDC is based on personal preference and taste, as well as his or her everyday activities.

Premium EDC Items
Pelican G5 Personal Utility RF Field Wallet
MSRP: $45
URL: pelican.com
Our 2¢: Waterproof, crushproof, and hacker-proof, the G5 might be the ultimate EDC wallet. It features a solid aluminum RFID-blocking shell and a gasketed O-ring seal and snap-latch to guarantee a watertight seal, keeping its contents from getting crushed, soaked, or electronically skimmed. We love ours.
Griffin GPT Mini
MSRP: $35
URL: griffinpockettool.com
Our 2¢: This small multi-tool features a deep pocket clip that keeps your keys in place, but it can also serve as a convenient, compact tool kit. A bottle opener is just the beginning. The Griffin Pocket Tool Mini is a box opener, a flathead screwdriver, a scoring tool, a bit holder, a prying tool, and a wrench in four graduated sizes.
CRKT Williams
Defense Key
MSRP: $10
URL: crkt.com
Our 2¢: Designed by former U.S. Army officer and martial arts instructor James Williams, the Williams Defense Key is cleverly disguised as an innocuous key, but the ergonomic handle and pointed end may come in handy when a situation heats up. CRKT calls it concealed carry that fits on a keyring.
KeyBar MagNut
MSRP: $17
URL: keybar.us
Our 2¢: The MagNut is a magnetic quick clasp that works on tools or other easily lost items for which you need a quick mounting solution. A set includes two MagNuts, each with a 1/2” diameter split ring. Use them on a keyring or to attach tools for mounting on metal surfaces.
Mint State Gold
1 Pound Copper Bar
MSRP: $32
URL: mintstategold.com
Our 2¢: Some say carry cash, others say carry precious metals. Whether you use it for barter or melt it down and use it to create something, a one-pound bar of copper is worth its weight in… copper. If nothing else, it makes a great-looking paperweight, too!
Designworks Inc. Standard Issue Multi-Tool Pen
MSRP: $22
URL: designworksink.com
Our 2¢: Scribble in your journal and then tackle some home repair. This handsome pen will help you do it all. This aluminum-bodied multi-tool pen includes a refillable ballpoint pen with black ink, a mini bubble level, four rulers, a mini flathead screwdriver, and a stylus.
