I was just curious what everyones views on EDC capabilites are...what do you consider the "MINIMUM basic every day carry" and what should you be able to accomplish with what you have on you...I am thinking of the "every day carry" in a normal everyday urban situation, NOT necessarily a wilderness survival situation and NOT convenience items. What would you consider the absolute basic minimum everyone should have in their pockets every day and why?

I would appreciate any thoughts or comments.

I appreciate everyone's comments on their own personal EDC but that is not what I'm looking for...(thats another post <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />)...I am just interested in knowing what you consider the minimum basic gear everyone should have in their pockets...kinda' like Doug's "don't leave home without it" gear.
