Those who don’t identify as a fella also welcome to answer!

I’m getting tired of my wallet and I’m hoping to get some new ideas. Current EDC is my phone, wallet, and keys on a lanyard. Whatchu got?

Edit: I ought to be a little more specific with my EDC, since most people are kindly taking the time to do so.

Phone: Pixel 8 Pro Wallet: bulky leather wallet, I don’t even remember the brand, I’ve had it so long. Keys: a stylized lanyard with various house keys, car key fob, and a keychain that reads “I hope your day is as good as my butt” from my wife. I have to keep that, you understand.

Misc: Burt’s Bees chapstick, Listerine breath strips, and occasionally a utility knife depending on my destination.

    When not in school:

    • Phone with wallet case
    • Keys
    • Wireless headphones

    When in school: all the above plus:

    • Yorepek 50L backpack (everything else goes in here)
    • Laptop (notes, actual work) (Debian w/ KDE Plasma)
    • Laptop charger
    • Grandma’s laptop from 15 years ago that runs like dog shit (backup, also Debian, can still access my repos and load web pages, decoy if robbed)
    • Tablet (books)
    • Voltmeter (yes all the time)
    • Blank computer paper and pencils (derivations)
    • Guitar picks (Dunlop Gator Grip 2.0mm; for playing death metal, but also makes for a great tool)

    Wireless headphones get extra priority because they allow me to control what I hear. For example, instead of getting sensory overload (I’m autistic) at the supermarket, I can replace it with death metal, which is better for some reason.

      How much does your bag end up weighing?

        I’m not sure, but I don’t have trouble carrying it. It’s so big because sometimes I have to bring in projects and/or test equipment.
