Every Day Carry - refers to items that are carried on a consistent basis to assist in dealing with normal everyday needs of modern society, including possible emergency situations.  Ref:  Wiikipeda



My Pockets

  • Google Pixel 7 - Favorite phone, I know it's not an iPhone, how dare I. lol
  • Money Clip - has id, conceal carry permit, my main credit cards, and a bit of cash usually
  • Wallet - not used very often but has medical cards, pics, and the things I don't use everyday per se.
  • Keys - no link just keys to my house and three cars
  • Flashlight - I like them small and standardized on AA batteries, I use rechargeable.
  • Pocket Knife - small and cheap
  • Glock 29 (10 mm) - I got it from my late father-in-law when he could no longer pull the slide back.  Not my favorite choice of gun but it is what I have and works well.
My Backpack
  • Bic Pen - I buy these in large packs from BJ's cause my family loses pens like their life depends on it.
  • Notebook (Dollar Store) - nothing fancy
  • Power Bag
    • all kinds of phone chargers (mini-USB, lightning cables)
    • usb charging battery - they don't sell the one I have and love, anymore but these work well
    • earbuds - these are my favorites, they fit well, are not expensive, and work awesome
  • Amazon Kindle Fire - I store eBooks, and load streaming apps, when I travel I can download movies from Netflix and always have entertainment with me.  This saves me from wasting the battery on my phone.
