I wear shorts practically every day, even to see clients, so my pocket urban EDC is my survival kit.

I carry my wallet which includes the usual cards including AAA and a phone card. It also holds a fresnel lens, a couple of band aids, a sparklite, a tinderquick, and some jute cord.

I also carry a phone, a pen, an index card or two, some cash, and a whistle. I always wear a watch and carry an alox farmer with a BSA hotspark and a NiteCore EZ AA attached.

Most of the time, I wear shoes. And when I remember, I carry chapstick, a disposable lighter and a bandana.

And I take water with me. If I am out and about, the water will wait in the car.

I used to carry a short hank of cord as a lanyard to my SAK, but since I removed it, I haven't been carrying it. I will likely stick it back in my pocket as I have used it many times for many things. Maybe, I will substitute the cord with a roll of dental floss.
