Found this EDC pouch on cheap online Chinese dollarstore site Temu. Anyone use this or something simila? How do you carry your core EDC items "fashionably"? As someone that doesn't always have pocket space, I ordered and can't wait to get it!

Here's where I found it https://share.temu.com/8IilwA6TlnA

I just keep it in my backpack as an organizer.

Anything I carry with me every day goes in a specific space in my backpack 🤷

I have a small pouch, just one compartment, that fits in my back pocket. I keep any relevant cards (ID, credit cards, etc) in there as well as the things I like to have on a daily basis like my earplugs (because noise sensitivity is a fucker), mini multi tool, lighter, my meds, fidgets, and whatnot.

On days when I have more stuff I want to bring, I have a Lunchbox backpack that’s actually a really great size for day to day stuff but isn’t a massive backpack

Aside from my phone and wallet, I only carry my keychain. Each goes in a separate pocket.

I do keep two small tools on my keychain:

  • A small, bladeless multitool. Can take on flights. Looks like this particular one is no longer being manufactured, but there are a number of vendors that make a variety of tiny keychain multitools. Just a bit over 1 3/4" long.

  • A tiny folding knife, which IIRC is a Spyderco Bug that I got on sale. Slightly smaller than the multitool. I remove it if flying.

Doesn't really require much storage space.

I have that same pouch. I just chuck it in my bag.
