NYC street-minded carry (17M student)

This EDC loadout leans towards a practical, urban preparedness style. It's a mix of tools for everyday tasks, self-reliance, and navigating city life. The color scheme is fairly muted, with a lot of dark tones and earth tones, giving it a low-profile aesthetic. The inclusion of the transit card and the small size of many items suggests a focus on portability and blending in. The Emerson knife and Ti-Pry indicate a preparedness mindset, while the other items cover basic daily needs.

Pros

The loadout contains several high-quality items. The Emerson Mini CQC 7 is a well-regarded knife known for its durability and deployment speed. The Streamlight Microstream USB is a reliable and compact light source. The TEC Accessories Ti-Pry is a useful tool for various situations, especially the glass breaker. The Mean Gene Leather coin purse appears to be well-made and offers a secure way to carry small items. The inclusion of a dedicated transit card is practical for urban commuters.

Suggestions

The "knockoff" AirPods are a potential weak point – investing in a reliable audio solution might be worthwhile. While the carabiner is functional, a dedicated key organizer could streamline the key carry and reduce bulk. A small first-aid kit or a dedicated pen could be beneficial additions. The loadout seems a bit heavy on cutting/pry tools (knife and pry bar) – consider if both are truly necessary for your daily routine. Finally, carrying a knife to school is generally prohibited and could have legal consequences.
