Not made a thread for a while just thought I'd randomly ask what peoples "EDC", as people like to call it today, is.

I never go out without...

Glasses
Phone
Wallet - even though there is rarely anything in it. :blush:
Keys
Also 9 times out of 10 I bring my trusty Swiss army knife if just walking the dog or something but I don't take this if I'm going somewhere busy like hospital or a restaurant.

    It very much depends if I’m going alone or taking the kids out. If it's just me, I tend to take my door keys, car keys and wallet which contains some loyalty cards that I never use, as well as my debit card and my driving license.

    If I'm taking one or all of the kids with me, it might be quicker to type what I don't end up having to bring!

    My glasses never leave my face except when sleeping and showering basically. I can't see too great without them.

    Keys
    Phone
    I no longer have a wallet! Everything is on my phone now really.
    10+ receipts in my jacket pocket that I always forget to clean out

    @Sandy_123 good one about the anxiety, I always take that, wish I could leave it at home as well, or even better take it out and dump it and then not have it at home either.

    @Jimm_Scope I should really use my glasses all the time as well, I can see reading distance fine but I am not too good seeing distances, to the point that without my glasses, if I was ever able to go out without someone with me, I would not be comfortable crossing a road or something.

    I always take my wheelchair (for obvious reasons)
    I generally take my wife (same reason as above)
    I sometimes take my phone - but the length of cable limits how far I can go......
    I tend to forget my wallet and keys - the  wife deals with those !
    I always forget my memory

    If I do ever leave the house, I'm always armed with;

    Phone. 
    Keys.
    Lighter. 
    Cash card. I don't use a wallet any more, I kept losing them.
    Earbuds/Loops earplugs.  To help with any possible sensory issues.
    Painkillers, just in case.

    Phone, the wallet of which contains bank card, cash, driving licence, bus pass, photos of my parents. Keys, wheelchair, waterproof control cover & a couple of little pots of erythritol sweetener. Crutches, dependent on where I'm going.
