A couple of years ago, I shared a look at my everyday carry in a “What’s In My Backpack” review. It’s a popular format, and for a good reason—we’re all curious about the gear that helps others be productive and organized. Despite my backpack lacking any portals to other dimensions or super-powered gadgets, the response was fantastic. People genuinely find value in seeing a practical, real-world setup.
Given that positive feedback, and considering how much my life and work have evolved since then, I decided it was the perfect time for an updated tour. My gear has changed, my needs have shifted, and I’ve learned a lot more about what truly makes for an effective everyday carry (EDC). This is my 2017 gear and EDC update.
