I forget everything that was in my EDC when living and working in NYC. Now that I remain mostly in the burbs, I rely of my car kit and fewer things in my pockets.

However, I worked five miles away from my office and always considered that it might not be an option to return home. So, I was very loaded with gear in my EDC. I kept multiple firestarters, paracord, a sewing kit, tiny fishing kit, scapel blades, emergency poncho, garbage bag, escape mask, multitool, small first aid kit and a few other items. That EDC was designed to give me tools to allow me to get or adapt other things to keep me going. The fishing kit was overkill, but so what.
