Everyday carry setups are always evolving, but this video is a snapshot of what I genuinely carry on a normal work day.

No staged setup. No carefully curated “Instagram carry.” Just the gear that was actually in my pockets, on my belt, and around my neck when I got home from work.

Why I Did This Pocket Dump

I was nominated by Tim from Whiskey 31 to participate in the EDC pocket dump challenge, and it was a fun opportunity to show what I truly carry every day.

Some of the gear is practical. Some of it is sentimental. Some of it is medical. But every item has a reason for being there.

Main Gear Highlights

• OLPR leather pocket notebook
• Google Pixel 8a
• GondekEDC Ranger Wallet
• Leatherman ARC
• Olight Ark Pro Ultra
• Recycled Firefighter EDC Caddy
• TRM Atom in Magnacut
• Jack Wolf Gateway Barlo
• Tozo NC2 earbuds
• Wilder / Rustic Heirloom Hitchhiker Wallet
• G-Shock GD010 watch

Medical & Utility Carry

One important part of this setup is the medical gear I carry daily. That includes nitroglycerin tablets, children’s aspirin, and emergency allergy medication.

EDC isn’t always about the coolest gear. Sometimes it’s about carrying what helps you get through the day safely.

Knives & Tools

This carry includes both a primary and secondary knife setup. The TRM Atom in Magnacut serves as the main blade, while the Jack Wolf Gateway Barlo rides as a secondary knife in a leather slip.

For tools, the Leatherman ARC handles the heavy lifting, while smaller items like a mini screwdriver, right-angle pick, USB drive, marker, and cleaning stick round out the rest of the setup.

Organization Matters

Even though there is a lot of gear here, dedicated carry solutions help keep everything manageable. The belt wallet, sheath, caddy, pocket wallet, and leather slip all serve a purpose.

That’s the real value of EDC organization: keeping useful items accessible without turning every pocket into a junk drawer.

Final Thoughts

This setup changes over time, but this is an honest look at my current everyday carry.

Some items are practical. Some are personal. Some are there because I’ve learned the hard way that I may need them.
