I Tracked My EDC for a Week… Here’s What I Actually Used.

Last episode, I challenged you to track what you actually use in your EDC for one week — not what looks cool online, not what’s in your pocket organizer, but what you reach for in real life. So I took my own advice. I used my Joy It Down notebook (yes, the one I sell on Amazon — link in bio) and wrote down every item I used from Monday to Friday, adding tally marks each time I reached for the same tool. And the results honestly surprised me. The gear I thought I’d rely on? I barely touched. The gear that helped me most? Simple, practical, everyday items. Carried this week: • BigiDesign Bolt Action (Ti DLC) + Pocket Pro (Brass) BIGIDESIGN | ‘mikeydailycarry’ gets 10% off https://bigidesign.com/mikeydailycarry • Microfiber from Gondek EDC https://www.gondekedc.com • Wallet rotation: ADD1D → Lost Dutchman https://collabs.shop/oi7shc https://www.lostdutchmanleather.com • AirPods Pro Gen 2 + Gen 1 backup in the truck https://amzn.to/47RQoPV This changed how I look at EDC. Preparedness isn’t about how much you carry — it’s about how much you use. 🎙️ Not Another EDC Podcast — where everyday carry meets everyday life.
