What EDC is and how to build your own kit
EDC (Every Day Carry) is a well-thought-out set of things that are always with you: phone, keys, wallet, power bank and cable, earphones, a flashlight, a multitool, a first-aid kit, a pen and a notebook. The idea behind EDC is to have everything you need within reach — and nothing extra — with every item in its own place.
How to put together your EDC
- Start with your day. What do you actually use every day in the city, at work, on the road or on a dog walk? That is where your kit begins.
- Group your items. Keep tech, documents and everyday essentials separate so nothing gets lost or scratched. Organizers such as Pouch 2 or Every Day Pouch help with this.
- Choose what to carry it in. A minimal kit fits in a waist bag such as the EDC Bag; for a bigger one, choose the Flex Bag or the EDC Bag XL.
- Review your kit. Your EDC changes with your routine: pack a travel EDC for trips and a minimal set for a walk.
Get inspired by the real kits of Blackpack owners in this section, and start with our list of 10 useful small items for your organizer and the article on a creative person’s EDC.
