+The other day I was taking care of a fresh mosquito bite with the heat-it that's part of my EDC ("everyday carry"), and that reminded me that I'd been meaning to do a quick write-up about my EDC for ages. 
+
+On top of my keys (with some meds and my second factor tokens) and my phone (currently a Pixel 6a) I usually carry a little pouch with me as pictured above.
+
+Unpacking it fully, it looks like this:

+
+So what is all this stuff? Here we go:
+
+1. a full miniature RPG dice set (you never know when you need to roll on something) 
+2. Troika Liliput pen (ballpoint pen, ruler, stylus, screwdriver)
+3. small pill tube with painkillers (I tend to get weather related headaches)
+4. Leatherman Squirt PS4
+5. small rechargeable LED flashlight (white light, red light & UV, plus emergency flashing)
+6. small lighter (I don't smoke, I just prefer to have a fire and emergency light source on me)
+7. 3d printed emergency whistle
+8. small refreshment towel (in case I need to wash my hands but can't)
+9. hygiene baggy & tampon (in case I misjudge my cycle or need to help someone else who misjudged theirs) 
+10. USB-C heat-it (little gadget I can plug into my phone and control from an app that helps with mosquito bites through heat - consider it a really portable form of the popular bite-away wand)
+11. two glucose sweets (always good to have something on hand for myself or others)
+12. meds against motion sickness (which I sadly suffer from greatly, especially in cars I'm not driving myself)
+13. short USB-C to USB-A cable for charging my phone, plus a SIM tool
+14. (not pictured) a key for a safe
+
+And that's it with regards to my EDC! I'm currently thinking about sewing a custom pouch, as the store bought one I currently use could really use better zippers and a slightly different internal organisation, but that's a future project.
+
+I'll do my best to also add a post about my portable solder kit soon 😁 In the meantime, feel free to get in touch [on Mastodon](https://chaos.social/@foosel) for questions or comments!
