Guide to Customize Your Everyday Carry

Before we head out the door everyday, our mind runs through a checklist.

Did I feed the dog, and where are my keys?

Our hands scramble for the daily tools we use to make the grind straightforward and we get the day going.

As we travel from one task to the next, between work, school and passion projects, we reach out to grab our keychain, wallets, knives, or check the time on our wrist. These items are referred to as your everyday carry -- simply because you carry them everyday.

What is EDC gear?

“Everyday carry” refers to the accumulation of belongings you keep with you on a daily basis. EDC gear is meant to be efficient, durable and timeless inevitably making daily inconveniences easier.

Before working at Trayvax I was guilty of carrying around a hefty wallet and an excess of things I did not need. As I embraced the minimalist lifestyle, using my new trayvax contour, I found places for cash and cards that I would just shoved in my front pocket in the past. Which led me to fine-tuning my everyday carry.

Everyone has an everyday carry, whether they are spending time researching the best minimalist products available or have been carrying around that bulky wallet for years.

What things do you always carry with you?
