    I was reading this article and it struck me: You really can tell a lot about a person by they're possessions.

    My family portrait¿ made of food! Artist imagines what her mother and father would look like if they were edible | Mail Online

    So here's the question: What is your EDC? Meaning what do you carry in your pockets/on your person everyday?

    For example, I carry:
    A copper Zippo lighter
    A folding knife, formerly a left-hand model Spyderco, but last week was replaced with an ISAK Red.
    A business card case with business cards.
    A pouch that I sewed together that holds a Leatherman Micra, A tobacco pipe tool, a toothpick holder and tweezers. one of the tooth picks has a needle and thread wrapped around it and the pouch has buttons sewn onto it and a couple safety pins.
    A tube of Burts Bees lip balm.
    My cell phone,
    And finally a Leatherman Charge TTi.
    I have a bag with other stuff like blood sugar monitor, glucose tablets, change pouch, ect. but the above is what I always have on me.
    Just thought I'd see what everyone else carries.

    I typically just carry my keys with a flashlight attached, smokes, cheapo zippo, money clip, cell, and depending on the day, a cheapo spring assisted kershaw or an auto boker .

    wallet, keys, phone, belt, leatherman wave, pedometer (b/c insurance gives a discount), work ID badge if a weekday.

    Funny thing semi-related last weekend: went to the HS graduation where the FIL was speaking (he's been teaching there 26 years). The ceremony's at the college arena in the next town over so the arena's in charge of entrance inspections and whatnot. They totally ignore the sizable leatherman on my belt (in plain sight because my shirt caught on it). They also miss the old school classic leatherman in the bottom of my wifes purse despite inspecting the purse. What do they worry about? won't let my SIL in with a plastic camera mini-tripod. LMAO

    Since nobody else did, I should ask...I carry my balls everywhere I go. They usually stay near my pants pocket. Does that count? :ROFL:

    Mine came in they're own sac when I was born, which makes it convenient as I don't have to find a pocket for them. They'd get covered in lint and such in a pocket anyway.
    Plus, my ex wife already thought she owned them, so if they weren't attached, I probably would have had to give her one in the divorce. :doah:

    And nobody wants to have to pick which one. For me, I'd have to give the ex wife the middle nut :ROFL:
