Tinder - spark-lite tinder, lint, vaseline soaked cotton, atm reciepts and lottery tickets
Blade - Leatherman Wave, mini-mult-tool on key chain, Xacto blades, Razor blades
Signalling - Whistle, Mirror, Cell phone, Ham HandyTalkie
Water - 1 liter bottle, Potable Acqua, Filter Straw, Latex Tube
Food - Power Bar, Snare-wire, Slingshot band,
First Aid - CPR Mask, Gloves, pocket FAK, EMT-B First-In bag
Entertainment - Chess Board, Cosmic Wimpout dice.
Edification - Buddhist teachings, biblical tracts


That doesn't cover all of my EDC just the major categories.

Perhaps I'm over prepared, paranoid, Or just plain crazy but after a while folks just expect me to be wearing my vest and carrying a small bag of goodies.
