Fellas of Lemmy, what's your Every Day Carry (EDC)? (lemm.ee)

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.

Something I'm not seeing here that is absolutely essential is a good flashlight.

Human beings can't do shit in the dark. Useful for power outages, dark areas, and if gets late. I end up using it more than my knife tbh.

Your phone doesn't have a LED for flash?

"Why do I need an espresso machine? Just thrown some grounds in a sock, boil it, and you got coffee."

Flashlights have more maneuverability and they're significantly brighter. Trying to use your phone's flashlight outside is an exercise in futility. Plus I don't need to worry about my phone's screen breaking.
