My summer hiking carry….wayfarers, very tough old leather wallet, Gizeh roll box and Zippo, Catamaran sports watch and my trustee Buck 110. I never go hiking without a good, solid knife.
This is just the everyday gear I carry. Kind of a poor man’s EDC.
My philosophy is thin, light, and absolutely functional.
- Car key, house keys, Leatherman Monarch 200 flashlight, Victorinox Cadet on Black Diamond carabiner
- Jack Spade wallet with driver’s license, bank card, credit card, air miles card (and cash when necessary)
- Sony Xperia Ray smartphone
- Omega Seamaster 36mm
- Serengeti Verona photochromic/polarized sunglasses
Previous EDC that I’ve dropped:
- Spyderco Snap-It EMT rescue knife (too bulky and got my funny looks everywhere)
- Victorinox Classic Alox (too wimpy, no bottle opener)
- SanDisk Cruzer USB key (kept in my laptop bag now)
- Parker ballpoint pen (kept jabbing me when driving/sitting; now I keep tons of pens around the house, car, laptop bag, etc)
- Pouch with CPR mask (“hands-only” CPR is the way to go now)
Lightweight travel EDC. Rome, IT.
