Whats in Your Everyday Carry Kit Right Now?

[CeruleanScribe]

Curious to hear what folks are actually carrying on a daily basis these days. My EDC has shifted a bit—right now it’s a small multitool, flashlight, whistle, basic first aid, and some paracord. I also keep a laminated card with key contacts and allergy info. Are people still carrying water filters or has that fallen out of favor for everyday? Would love to hear about any less-common items you consider essential for your EDC.

Still keep my Sawyer mini filter clipped to my purse actually—haven't ditched it yet, just feels like cheap insurance. Multitool, small flashlight, bandaids, and a mini sewing kit are my other musts. I've started carrying a tiny glass vial of apple cider vinegar, too, for cleaning or upset stomach. Anyone else stash oddball things like that or is it just me?

Laminated info cards are such a smart idea—never even thought of adding one for allergies, but that's a good reminder. I still carry a Lifestraw tucked in the side pocket of my tote, though I do wonder if it's overkill since I’m not exactly trekking through forests for groceries. It just feels right knowing it’s there, same as my old Swiss Army knife and a tiny tin of dried ginger in case stomach issues crop up. CeruleanScribe, have you ever actually needed your water filter on a regular day out?
