What do you include in your EDC?

None of the above.

How can a guy NOT carry a knife ?
Always something needing cut ,poked , sliced ,or opened
Barely a day goes by I don’t use mine for something
Men been edc knives for 100 000 years, give or take . Starting to sound like a trend ;-)
Keep a flashlight and a bigger knife in the truck

My EDC changes a bit between home and "away from home".

Home is usually a J frame, knife, pepper spray, creds / cards when out with the dog or walking down the mountain to the mailbox. (Sometimes a sap instead of pepper spray.)

Away from home is a Glock, spare mag, pepper spray / sap, creds & cards, flashlight, knife.

Same basics with adjustments. YMMV.

Gun, wallet, phone, reading glasses, car keys.

Two knives—fixed blade fighting knife, folding all-purpose knife
Lighter
Hand cuff key
Cravat/large handkerchief (first aid tool)

add to the above;

Reading "cheaters"
key ring....... extra car key, and all three houses
Wallet
money clip
two quarters...... hate being handed a handful of pennies nickels and dimes

Well yeah, wallet, car keys and a handkerchief but those weren’t offered, so none of the above.

LCP or 365, extra mag if going to shop in town
always a pocket knife, usually a Spyderco
Steramlight if in town at night
and if out for a walk with the wife's mutt, a chunky little Puggle (half pug/half beagle) that thinks he's an attack Rottweiler

Knifes, but seldom a defensive knife. Handkerchiefs, handcuff key (no real need, but not exactly a burden). No excuse for no pepper spray, except that it is bulk that I find unhandy in summer. Lighter and matches, but not in my pockets. Sometimes no flashlight in summer. Gun and two speed loaders, or occasionally two speed strips, are at the top of my list.

EDC

Check out some of the EDC videos on YouTube, some include guns and some don't. There's some pretty good ones on there.

Additional EDC items:

Front pocket: cravat and leather pouch with small items including space pen, rechargeable flashlight, mini multi-tool, lighter, cuff key, consecrated oil vial.

Rear pocket: folding knife, pepper gel, comb (Yes, self defense application possible).

Not an EDC thing but regarding flashlights:

Been in bands for over 25 years and dealing with end of night load outs. By far the most effective piece I found was the 5 D cell Rookie Cop flashlight. Even drunks recognize the impact this would have on their melon and part like the Red Sea.

Wallet, knife, gun, reload.
Other stuff as needed. Wallet has a few essentials in it. Mostly a bank card that has solved more problems than any gun I ever had.
I cannot remember the last time i was wearing pants and didnt have a knife. Might have been when I was in first grade.

Along with gun, knife, ammo and flashlight. I also carry the other essentials keys, phone and wallet. When I’m out performing service calls. I do have 2 rubber coated brass doorstops and pepper spray in my tool bag just in case.

I don't think keys and wallet really count for the purpose of this topic however... one of the "keys" on my key ring that is indeed always with me is the S&W internal lock key.

I only own a single revolver so equipped, it's my 460XVR. With a strictly kept log, 614 rounds (all full-nuts) and this revolver has never managed to lock itself, so I have never actually needed this little key.

I figure since it's always with me, one day I can use it to assist someone else at the range that has a S&W with a locked internal lock.

From the list:

A mouse gun and an equally mousey knife.

I always have a pocket knife, a pen, a small amount of cash, my DL, and one credit card. The car or truck hauls all the other stuff.

I’ve seen posts where people claim to EDC an amazing amount of stuff w/them. I’m a minimalist: Besides my wallet, keys & cell phone it’s just a J Frame (LCP sometimes) & one reload. I do have more ammo in the car, but it’s just a speedloader or spare mag.

Everybody in the World has an EDC, even if you live in a nudist colony everybody has stuff they don't leave home without.

I've told this story before but it really was a Benchmark in my life. When I was stationed in Germany I got sent to a M16 qualification off post. I'm pretty sure it was the very first time I had to qualify on Active Duty. To make a long story short when we arrived at the Range (Vilsek?) it was a blizzard and I wasn't prepared. Due to circumstances beyond my control I ended up in the field for five days with no clean underwear/socks, no personal hygiene items, no wet weather gear, no sleeping bag and no smokes. I learned my lesson and I never again left main post without a small pack with the above mentioned items. It came in very handy more than once.

ETA

When I worked as a security guard tbere were certain things I learned from experience, I should have with me for every shift.

I always had a hat and sunglasses even if I was working nights. I always had at least one pen and one notebook on my person. I always had my phone and a charging cable. I always had a Flashlight (usually two and a spare in my work bag) and a charger for it. I always had my Buck 110 and a Multitool. I usually had a smaller folder in my pocket because a Utilities Admin Assistant freaked out one day when I pulled out my Buck to cut open a box for her. Every company I worked for had me AED/CPR certified and I was required to have a barrier device and gloves all the time. I never bothered with a watch because the company phone or the computer on my desk was always the "official" time. I always carried at least a 40 ounce water jug. My last 3 years I carried a bag of Catfood in the trunk of my car.

I always carried a pack with me to work with clean socks, underwear and T-shirt, a rain coat, a complete set of Waffle Tops. Wind proof fleece. Several extra pens and notebooks and phone chargers. Gloves, winter and work. A Bible and whatever book I was currently reading. I also kept an emergency radio that would double as a battery pack in my pack.

When I worked armed I was only allowed to use the gun and ammunition and OC they issued me with ZERO modifications or alterations. I once had to DX ONE ROUND of ammunition and write a statement as to why (it got a bunch of oil on it)I was DXing it. They also issued me my duty belt, holster and handcuffs, I was allowed my own magazine carriers and radio holder but they had to match the belt.

Now I'm retired and I carry what I want.

I don't carry sunglasses because the VA bought me photo grays but I have a spare set in my car. I always have my hat I always have a water bottle. I always have my wallet and keys. I still carry my Buck and my Multitool and a smaller knife. I always have the same flashlight I carried at work and OC. I always have a handkerchief. I always carry my phone.

And of course a Glock 19 and two reloads
