How do you carry your EDC?

[JerryM]

In the left front pocket with a fingernail clipper, 2 1/2 knife, and with a 1/2 oz OC spray. I do not like clips. My edc light is a Tank 007 E09.

I carry a small clipless flashlight along with a spare battery in my front left pants pocket,and a knife clipped inside my right hand side front pocket.
been doing it that way for awhile now.
When I am heading out the door,i usually grab a bigger light to add to what I am already carrying.
The bigger light usually is in my right hand side jacket pocket,or right hand side rear pocket.

right now those items are a nichia L10 for the small light,a Gerber Scout for the knife,and a Solarforce L2p with 2x18650 body+Sportac Nichia triple dropin.

My edc lights consists of single R123s thus I mainly use a holster. My folder is in the pocket. Folders do look intimidating if edc in a holster.

Before discovering CPF and Fenix I EDC'd a AA MiniMag in a belt holster.

Currently I EDC my Fenix LD09 clipped in my front-right pants pocket and a Buck folding knife clipped in my front-left. My Fenix E12 is in my breast pocket (except for the rare occasion that I don't have one) and I take at least 2 additional cased NiMH AAs when I leave my home. My keychain has a $2 LED Rayovac light that is soon to be replaced by either a Fenix E01 or E05.

I carry a Copper Beta QR attached to a SwissChamp pocket knife on my belt:

 

[novaco112]

Usually knife clipped in right pocket (moft of the time B+ Exskelibur 1), pen (Kaweco Sport) loose in right pocket or (if possible and convenient) in coin pocket, light in left pocket (ATM a Klarus MiX6 with a homemade dangler clip).​

V11R in my left pocket with my phone.
Spyderco Dragonfly in my right pocket.
And either a 18650 P60 or 18350 P60, depending on my bag size.

On my keychain.

Ever since I discovered the Draco (and its smaller cousin, the Drake), they've been the one light that never leaves my side, because they literally disappear onto my keychain. Since I always have my keys, it's the best spot for an EDC. And it handles 99% of the situations where I unexpectedly need a light.

Most of my jackets also have a stronger light stashed in their side pocket (HDS, Quark 123, etc.), and I always have some lights stuffed in the glove compartment. But since I don't like bulky pockets, having a tiny light is the easiest way to ensure that I'll always carry a flashlight...and the keychain just seems like a natural place to carry it.

compact one in my pocket for mostly use and another power one in the backpack.

currently and normal way:
1st flashlight. weakside belt holster. *1AA*
2nd flashlight is on my keychain, most often either in my strong side pants front pocket (or inside chest pocket of jacket.) *special miini li-ion*
3rd is more a toy/backup/rotational/newest flashlight getting used to using or job/task specific thing like headlamp, this is on inside pocket of jacket or clipped to trouser weakside pocket (not an true edc as it changes day to day) *batterytype varies ofcourse, but often 1AA or 18650*

3rd/4th one is on my work keychain that hang on retractor reel on my belt (strong hand side). (almost edc and its *1AAA*)

5th is winter addition: jackets outer chest pocket has a bigger flashlight. *18650 or 2xcr123 sized thing*

6-10th(?) are backup/spares in my go/work-bag and/or in my car. (i carry so many flashlights that i rarely carry a spare battery, except the ones i have in my car.)

Does holding it with my hand count? I also carry it in my pocket even if it's big.

 

[guthrie]

Usually in my jacket pocket or in my bag. Being paranoid, my bag is usually beside me, as is my jacket. Not all trousers have pockets suitable to carry stuff in.

 

[Blazer296]

I always wear a shirt w/pocket (smoker) , my Quark Pro is right beside my smokes.

 

[FlyboyCMH]

I always have my Stylus Pro in my left front pocket...when need (or mood) strikes, my PD35 is in my right front pocket.

Quark QTA with 780-lumen QT2L-X Burst Mode head, AW 14500 IMR cell, deep carry clip, DIY finger lanyard clipped in front left pocket. The finger lanyard can be used for rapid extraction and for hands-free retention if needed. The break-away coupling prevents anyone from inflicting injury to my finger should they gain control of the light.

What flashlight (if any) do you keep on your key chain? Looking for one that isn't too heavy to ruin the ignition. Leaning towards the Fenix E12 http://www.fenix-store.com/fenix-e12-led-flashlight/ because 1) output....2) the easy access of AA batteries.

I long ago realized I detest a cluster of keys hanging from the steering column making a rattling racket and ruining the finish on interior panels. I now use a small carabiner to separate the car key from the cluster, so only the car key is in the ignition and the rest (including the vehicle's remote fob) is in my pocket. This also prevents keys from getting locked inside the car.

Since a keychain light would now be in my pocket anyway, I have no need for one beyond my normal EDC light which is carried separately. I also keep a light in the car, so I basically have access to a pair of capable torches anytime I go somewhere in the car.

As is always the case, YMMV.

Great pic, is it just me or are the newish Quarks looking even better than the old ones? Maybe its just camera tech....?

I have a La Petite Killer on my neck lanyard 24 hours a day. Next, I have the matching AAA Killer on my key ring.

Then I have a Haiku clipped on my left pocket. And, I always have another McGiz in my back pocket, and I carry an Aeon clipped inside my pants pocket with a McGizmo clip...and to close I have a 47's Quark Titanium MiNi with a Tom Anderson Ti bead in.

Any guess at how much all that is worth?

OK, I admit it... I like lights...so what!!

 

[Lachiepower0402]

I carry my Thrunite 2C V2 in the included holster with a 18650 on my belt.

Then I carry three spare 18650 in my pockets.
