EDC pouch. How do you carry your EDC?
Found this EDC pouch on cheap online Chinese dollarstore site Temu. Anyone use this or something simila? How do you carry your core EDC items "fashionably"? As someone that doesn't always have pocket space, I ordered and can't wait to get it!
Here's where I found it https://share.temu.com/8IilwA6TlnA
Front left - Phone (iPhone 13 Mini)
Front right - Knife (Victorinox Cybertool L)
Front right - Slim Wallet (https://amzn.eu/d/2ZMOQfr)
Back right - keys (https://www.printables.com/model/530841-airtag-key-organizer-m3-attachment-loop)
keys and knife are both attached to a belt chain

I tried multiple EDC Pouches. One very similar to the one you ordered. And I don’t like any quite much. I do have one with some tools to enhance my carry, but it normally sits in my car or my backpack depending on the carry of the day.
Pockets, whatever doesn't fit in a pocket doesn't get EDC.
Plus a man purse/satchel for the most days carry.
I have that same pouch. I just chuck it in my bag.
Eh, not quite like that. I have a pocket organizer that's similar, and a passport sling that I use when I can't carry my phone in my pocket and want room for a few extras.
Can't say that this particular design would work for me, but I tend to dislike weight from my neck. Cross body that partially hangs from the neck is okay, lighter things are okay, and I can usually cope with something for short spans. But this is something you'd carry all day, and none of the carry options would really work out for me.
Myself, I favor pocket carry for the kind of things pictured there, with a smaller organizer for one pocket. Anything else is in my big bag. The size of this one to accommodate the phone makes it bigger than what I settled on for my pocket organizer.
The benefit of this kind of carry though, comes in when you're going to have to leave your stuff somewhere temporarily. Like, if you're in and out of a place that's restricted, it's nice to be able to shove this kind of thing in a locker or your dash pocket rather than emptying your pockets every time. I ran into that post COVID at the town offices. I was having to meet with the sheriff a few times a week, and didn't feel right bypassing the rules just because of the situation. That's why I got a pocket organizer. I could just pull it and leave the knives in the car along with my kubotan, pocket my keys, and not have to fuck around.
I got over that eventually though lol. When I go there now, I don't even bother stashing my 45 in the car safe. I just go in the side entrance where the deputies know me and head in.
