10 Essential Items Everyone Should Carry in Their EDC Bag

 

We live in a world full of constant challenges and subconscious frictions. Something as simple as opening a piece of mail can literally become a pain or a pleasure. Having a well curated set of everyday carry tools can turn potential chaos into seamless confidence. EDC or everyday carry isn’t about paranoia or being overly prepared, but more of an intentional minimalistic tool kit that helps empower you to handle whatever the day throws your way. Here at Boundary Supply, we design thoughtful bags with modular organization to help you carry more elevated and effortlessly. With that said, here are 10 things we carry in our EDC bag.


  1. Keychain

  2. Water Bottle

  3. Multi Tool

  4. Hard Drive

  5. Power Bank

  6. Minimalist Wallet

  7. Notebook

  8. Camera

  9. Watch

  10. Vitamin Case


We might one day live in a keyless world where all you need is your phone to unlock your car or house, but until then, we love a good keychain, our HT-Key Clip magnetically attaches to any Boundary pack or by using the included carabiner it can attach to any belt loop.

Bottles come in many different shapes and sizes. Two of our current favorites are the wide mouth Yeti bottle or this sleek Memobottle flask made for smaller EDC Bags and goes where round bottles cannot.

If you closed your eyes and someone said the word multitool, you probably envisioned Leatherman. That’s because they are likely the best to do it. The Signal multi tool has been around a few years now and has 14 tools built into one easy to carry package.

Nothing is worse than catching your phone at 1%. Our EDC Bags have intense pockets for internal organization. Our Errant Pack even features a cable pass through port so you can run a cable to charge your phone. We suggest the Belkin Boost Power Bank with Integrated cables. This is a 10,000mAh capacity that will charge even the biggest phone a couple times. Did we mention it has a built in USB-C and Lightning cable?

Much like keys, digital wallets might make physical wallets outdated one day. Until then, many of us still need to carry our drivers license or a bank card on our person daily. Thankfully, wallets like that of George Costanza’s are a thing of the past. There are several great minimalist wallets that actually function as a phone holder as well. The Bitplay Magsafe slim wallet makes it easy to carry your cards and binge the latest steaming series on the go.

Listen, we know you don’t NEED a notebook. But is there anything better than sticking to something so analog and jotting down your notes like a modern day detective? The Rite in Rain All Weather notebooks are not only a nod to more simple times, but also a weatherproof mini diary that can go anywhere you go.

While still a digital camera, the Camp Snap also carries a bit of nostalgia to a simpler time when you’d snap a pic and not see the results until you developed the film. This easy point and shoot is screen free so you can remain in the moment free of any distractions. It’s form factor makes it extremely easy to carry around without being intrusive or screaming for attention all while storing in nearly any of the Errant Pack or Rennen Pro pockets.

This next item may not store in your bag, but we think a smart watch belongs on every EDC list as it has become a valuable, feature rich time piece. Not to mention the ability to customize with different bands and faces. The Apple Watch Ultra 3 may have some faults like shorter battery life, but is a piece of stealthy technology that tracks work outs, makes calls, streams music, and even doubles as a flashlight.


Last but not least, the James Brand Randolph keychain container. This titanium clad carry-all can store anything small from tooth picks to vitamins or even cash. It can be stored on your keychain or in any of the pen pockets on the Rennen Pro or Stasis Pro so it’s out of the way until you need it.
