I like staying minimal too - I only use a 20 inch suitcase to travel around 🤓

for daily

for traveling daily thing plus a book and pen + notebook:)

In the freer states of the 🇺🇸 -

All cowboys are supposed to be packing two revolvers at all times.

Here's a few of the things I like, that some people miss:

-- Tiny folding scissors. They will make it through airport security, and I can use them for many of the purposes of knives. Oftentimes they're more useful. I just went to an event the last couple days, I loaned the scissors to four different people, all of whom had flown there and had no knife/scissors. Here's two that have gotten through airport security multiple times (and if they don't, you're out $1.50) : https://www.temu.com/1-pair-of-mini-stainless-steel-folding-scissors-keychain-fishing-scissors-diy-portable-outdoor-travel-camping-pocket-cutter-tool-g-601099513193409.html https://www.temu.com/1pc-folding-scissor-pocket-travel-small-crafts-sharp-blade-emergency-mini-foldable-travel-embroidery-scissor-thread-tailor-scissors-g-601099514038059.html

-- Paper and pencil. I usually just staple 10 or so sheets of notebook paper together, and also carry a little cut-down mechanical pencil. Yes, you can also use notes on your phone. But you'd be surprised how much people appreciate that you don't take out your phone (and then get caught in various notifications).

A long time ago I USD to carry a small notebook & pen in case I had any good ideas. I guess the smart phone killed that

phone wallet keys (keychain has a small swiss army knife) zippo

a leatherman wave. carbon fiber money clip.

usually I carry phone, keys, a slim wallet and my phone with some fiat in the case. I like to carry a leatherman surge if its winter and It fits in my jacket easily.

TIL what EDC means

Phone, slim wallet, pocket knife, key ring with car key, house key, yubikey, and mini Phillips and flathead screwdriver, and a watch.

Since I can't bring my Kershaw Speedsafe Cryo on an airplane, I always have a Pentel GraphGear 1000 (full metal) mechanical pencil clipped to my pocket, which is always allowed everywhere. It's a great mechanical pencil and a great self defense tool.
