My EDC is actually pretty light compared to a few years back when I carried extra things like a laptop and loads of paperwork. I have 3 businesses in 3 different locations so it wasn’t ideal to always have to carry so many things around, even though the car would be the one carrying it. So a few years back, I decided to have my businesses go paperless, and that changed everything! Now I just use my iPad mini with LTE to VPN into the corporate servers to access everything, including security systems, audio/visual, security cameras, and all the files that I need.
- Apple iPad mini 64GB with LTE – Does everything that I would ever need on the road. Complete access to the corporate servers with full control of the smart office. We even have a custom corporate app that we designed to streamline everything.
- Sony NEX 6 with 18-200mm telephoto lens – I recently sold my NEX 5 and upgraded to the NEX 6 because of the added features of a standard hot shoe and electronic viewfinder. Also, the new 18-200mm telephoto lens takes amazing photos!
- Bandit wallet – I’ve used this many years, but they have discontinued making it. Simple and works great!
- NFC key fob – Used to access doors and login to systems in the office.
- Gerber keychain multi-tool – I picked this because of the small size, and it has been useful in many occasions.
- Keyport – Holds 6 keys in a sturdy and light slider case. I also backed their version 2 design on Kickstarter. Can’t wait to get the new one!
- Aston Martin Vantage 2013 crystal key – vrrrmmmm vrrrrmmm
- Bulova Mechanical Watch – Self winding so no batteries are needed…ever!
- HTC One Developer Edition – My first real Android phone. Works amazingly well so far and definitely an upgrade from my iPhone 4S. Got the developer edition because I didn’t want the AT&T branding and bloatware, plus it came with both factory SIM and bootloader unlocked!
- PNY 128GB USB Flash Drive – I put 3 partitions in this USB drive: 1) Ubuntu for quick bootup to access internet and mail; 2) Mini Windows XP for Windows proprietary applications; and 3) data drive for all other things.
- TYLT PowerPlant – Comes with 5,200 mAH to keep my electronics all charged throughout the day.
- Kindle PaperWhite 3G – I enjoy reading when I relax, and this Kindle is the best one for it so far.
