Here’s hoping that Politico doesn’t work for Politico, one of the most virulent anti-gun websites on the ‘net. His or her everydaycarry.com pocket dump indicates otherwise — there’s no copy of Mao’s little red book. But there is . . .
everything else. Mind you I’d carry a whole bunch of clobber if I could. Texas heat makes that impractical. So I generally restrict my EDC load out to, well, I’m not going to tell you. Not for reasons of operational security.
Because I want to know what five items would you carry if you could only carry five? Including everything. (Got inhaler?) Ready? Go!
I only carry 5 Items normally: wallet, keys, phone, gun, knife
If I include my Drago backpack (and its contents) as a single item – then yes, I have five items or less.
🤠
I have a Drago that I got for 20 bucks from Optics Planet.
Stellar little backpack.
I carry usually carry six items on my person. This… this is just flat out facepalm material.
I often also carry a pack but it doesn’t have doubles of everything I carry on my person.

Wallet, Phone, Bulova watch, Keys, Knife, Ruger LCR .38sp, speed loader
nope can’t limit it to 5 : (
Keys (with attached knife), phone, watch, flashlight, journal.
Remember Studio C’s lobster bisque dude? “Five thumbs up, five delicious bites, five children . . .”
If I carried all that I’d need a good belt AND suspenders! Mine is lockback knife, cell phone, Little 9mm Ruger and keys, wallet and pocket change. Oh and extra mag. never an issue when packing a .9mm*.
wow i would hate to go eat with this guy. probably takes him 20 minutes to pick something.
“i don’t fear the man who practices 1000 kicks, i fear the man who has practiced 1 kick 1000 times”
concepts like that are obviously lost on people like this guy.
1. LCP
2. Keys
3. Wallet
4. Streamlight Stylus
5. Case 6347 Stockman
The rest is gravy…..
Phone
Wallet
Leatherman surge
Space pen
Small flashlight
A pack of smokes, lighter, pocket knife,and a phone for local towns. City add pistol+ 1mag, Country add compass + rifle + Milspec Kabar
ALL that and no cartridges in the extra magazine???
Ok, granted having duplicate knives and flashlights is a bit much…BUT, if you’re saying that at most an EDC should be made up of five items, and we assume that most people carry at least a phone (item #1), a wallet (#2), and keys (#3), then how do we pick between two of the other three recommended items that multiple articles on this very website have said are damn near necessities; a gun, a knife, and a flashlight?
I don’t carry duplicates of anything but my carry isn’t much less cluttered;
1) Phone
2) Wallet
3) Keys
4) Pistol (wherever I can)
5) Knife
6) Flashlight
7) Multitool
8) Pen
9) Lighter
10) Sunglasses
And yeah, I wear cargo pants a lot. But it’s my choice and I’ve figured out how to do it comfortably, and everything I carry is either something I use on a daily basis (phone/wallet/keys/flashlight/multitool/pen/lighter/sunglasses), or things I’d rather have and not need than need and not have (pistol/knife)
I always carry pistol s&w 9 or 40, keys with my 1.5 inch blade attached, wallet with credit card survival card inside, knife varying lengths, and tactical pen
Like a lot of others here have said, I carry more than five items. I wouldn’t carry less. My loaded shoulder holster counts as six items on it’s own.
