22 August 2020 - Every (and Occasional) Day Carry

Re: acdw's EDC

Not like I've actually left the house in a very long time, but if and when I do:

In my hands

Phone - lotek Sony-Ericsson 3G "feature phone", unless I'm going to need mobile net access, then i'll take my iPhone
Wallet - I am attempting to strip this down to the bare minumum, maybe to the point of eliminating the wallet itself - Basic Debit Cards, ID, Store Loyalty Cards... My bank is a hold-out for Apple Pay, so I can't use that, and don't really like the idea of it from a privacy perspective, even if it is entirely secure - the metadata alone is very invasive. Mind you - I hand that profiling data over to Visa, Mastercard and FlyBuys in the name of pragmatism, so...
MiniDisc Player - I usually carry either my Sony MZ-NH600 HiMD player or my MZ-R700 MDLP unit, unless I'm carrying the iPhone. Sometimes tech-minimalism involves carrying more stuff ;)

In a backpack or laptop bag

If I plan on being out and about for more than an hour or so, I usually carry a bag with me, and the stuff above tends to go in there. If attending a professional workplay I usually use a small Dell laptop bag. Otherwise, I tend to opt for my Dakine backpack, unless I am on a creative photography mission, in which case I carry Lowepro camera satchel. Depending on what I'm up to, some items listed under one bag below may migrate into the bag I'm using if required for the planned activities.

Dell laptop bag

My MacOS MacBook Pro if attending a workplace that hasn't supplied a SOE machine, or if I need my MBP's data or software, otherwise my iPad or Haiku MacBook Pro ("HaikuBook") if I'm planning on recreational or lite-use computing
Thunderbolt to DVI converter
DVI to HDMI adaptor
Thunderbolt to VGA adaptor (required more often than makes sense)
Tiny pocket mouse with retractable USB cable
Power Adaptor

Dakine backpack

Sanitizer and disinfection wipes in a zip-lock bag (have carried these for almost 2 decades)
Disposable surgical masks and latex gloves in a zip-lock bag (I have also carried these for almost a decade - call me a trend-setter)
2 spare zip-lock bags
Chewing Gum and/or mini mints (I like the Ecplipse mints in the metal tin - robust, life-hackable packaging and robust flavour)
Micro medi kit: bandaids, alcohol wipes, paracetamol (acetaminophen to those of the American persuasion), ibuprofen, 2 days supply of my prescription meds)
Mini dental floss
Laptop/iPad as above, if use desired or required
10-pack TP wipes
10-pack facial tissues
Opinel carbon blade folding pocket knife
Micro watch battery LED torch
Pen Pack with Medium point waterproof Sharpie, Artline fat waterproof marker, blue and red ballpoint pens
Charger pack - flat stackable power banks (however many I think would be of use) and a set of rechargable AAs and AAAs for the devices I carry
Phone/Laptop AC Adaptors if required
My "out and about" Kindle and/or a paperback
Sometimes - Soeks Quantum Pro Geiger counter (cos that's how I roll on some days)
Sometimes - Superbright tactical mini torch for night adventures
Sometimes - A change of underear/clothes/deodorant for extened-play adventures

Lowepro camera satchel

Canon EOS 550D (Digital Rebel to you Americans) DSLR and/or Canon EOS 500N 35mm SLR
Tascam telephoto lens
Circular Polarising filter
3 x spare battery packs
Car/AC/DC battery charger
Rain camera hood
Camera lens shade
Micro telescoping portable full-height tripod
Spare SD cards
Sometimes a Samsug point-and-shoot
Sometimes a Polariood 600 Land Camera
Sometimes Polaroid film
Phone/wallet/MiniDisc player etc as needed
Sometimes Sanitizer/mask/medi-kit etc if I deem it to be of potential use (these days - yes, if I could actually go on a photography adventure without being fined)
