During November last year I saw a trend on [Bear Blog](https://bearblog.dev) of people posting their "_What's in my inventory_"-posts, after [absurdpirate's writing prompt](https://blog.absurdpirate.com/bear-blog-carnival-november-whats-in-my-inventory/) for the Bear Blog Carnival. Wikipedia explains _Everyday carry_ like this:

> _Everyday carry (EDC) or every-day carry is a collection of useful items that are consistently carried on person every day._[^1]

This reminded me of the `/edc`- or `/carry`-pages people around [the small web](/blog/the-internet-is-fun-again) are showing of, and I wanted to do the same!

## My Inventory

## The Items

- **iPhone 13:** My current mobile phone - I just put my case there as I took the photo with the phone, keeping my Gengar-Pokémon card close by!
- **iPod 6th Gen:** This is a (currently) unmodded 6th Gen iPod, with stock parts. Also has some Apple EarPods attached to it.
- **Keys:** Apartment keys w/ my Spiderman lego figurine. Also a flash drive with Arch Linux on it lol - maybe I'll change it out with NixOS soon ([as that's my current OS](/uses)).
- **Wallet:** My dads old wallet. Contains a bank cards, IDs, bandaids, allergy pills, paracet, a picture of my SO, and a stencil of a tattoo I wanted some years ago - but never got.
- **Headphones:** A pair of Sony WH-1000XM4. Best headphones ever.
- **Kobo Clara BW:** My newest addition! I love it and use it almost every day when I don't read a physical book.
- **Nintendo DS:** A green DS that I use to pass the time. The case also has a tech-deck in it.
- **Olympus AZ-200 Superzoom:** This is my new camera - can't express how much I love shooting film on it!
- **Ballpoint pen:** With 4 colors!!
- **Moleskine Plain Cahier:** A pocket notebook for quickly jotting down notes, todos, etc.
- **Antibac, kleenex & gum:** Can never be to safe for the germs out there, nosebleeds happen, & gum is essential!
- **Casio watch + black ring:** Some accessories I typically wear.
- **Flightbag:** A brown LACOSTE flight bag I found in a thrift shop - super nice for small walks when I only need a couple of things (+ a Kirby dangling on it, which a friend won in South Korea at a machine lol). 
- **Shoulder bag;** I use my shoulder bag for typical work days to have my stuff in; work laptop, food, waterbottle, etc. Also inherited from my dad, love the National Geographic theme.

So if I died in a videogame, that's basically all the loot you would get!
