Whats in the Kit?
Here is the gear I keep in my daily tech kit. Somethings may rotate depending on the needs of the day.
This is the smaller one. Great for on the go. You can wireless charge or hardwire. Must have for those who use their phone a lot.
Anker Magnetic Battery (MagGo), 5K Foldable Magnetic Wireless Portable Charger and USB-C for iPhone 15/15 Plus/15 Pro/15 Pro Max, iPhone 14/13 Series (Interstellar Gray)
This is the larger version. Again, great option for those who may need some extra power when mobile.
Anker Magnetic Battery, 10K Foldable Wireless Portable Charger with Stand, 20W USB-C Power Delivery for MagSafe, iPhone 15/15 Plus/15 Pro/15 Pro Max, iPhone 14/14 Pro / 14 Pro Max/13/12 Series (Black)
Call me old school, I like having a pen on hand just in case I need to jot something down. Pairs perfectly with a small field notes book.
Fisher Space Pen Matte Black Bullet Space Pen with Clip
If you carry a pen, you should carry some paper. Small book to jot down notes, grocery list or maybe just a doodle.
Field Notes 2-Pack Pitch Black Notebooks (4.75" X 7.5"), Ruled, 64 Pages | Thin Pocket Sized EDC Notebook With 90 GSM Paper & Paperback Cover | Work Notebooks For Note Taking | Made in the USA
Like having a pen, I carry a sharpie too. You can write on almost anything and sometimes you do need to write on anything.
Sharpie Mini Permanent Markers, Fine Point, 4-Count (4 Markers, Black)
Should always have at least one around, if not for yourself, you know your buddies will need it.
Apple Lightning to USB Cable (1 m)
I don't always carry one but I should. If I did it would be this one with both USB A and C.
Anker USB C Charger, 735 Charger (Nano II 65W), iPad Charger, PPS 3-Port Fast Compact Foldable for MacBook Pro/Air, iPad Pro, Galaxy S23, Dell XPS 13, Note 20/10+, iPhone 15/Pro, Steam Deck, and More
I switch between this and another wallet. This one can hold a little more then just cash and cards.

If you are a mac user like myself, these will come in handy at some point.
Anker USB C Adapter (2 Pack), USB C to USB, High-Speed Data Transfer, USB-C to USB 3.0 Female Adapter for MacBook Pro 2020, iPad Pro 2020, Samsung Notebook 9, Dell XPS and More Type C Devices
If you are a photographer or hybrid video shooter, these will be useful. I keep one in my bag at all times.

Tech Bags
Here are a few bags I have used or highly recommend among the community. Some are dedicated tech bags, others are ones that can be used for that purpose.
I love these pouches, and have them in a few colors. I have used them as a tech pouch and camera bag. My current tech pouch.
CIVIC Access Pouch 2L
Highly recommend within the community. Interior dividers are great for keeping everything organized.
Peak Design Tech Pouch V2 Black (BTP-BK-2)
Love Alpaka Gear. Their version of a tech pouch.

I have two of these. Use one for keeping my mics organized and the other is to hold my Atomos camera monitor. They offer great protection.

Alternative to the others. Growing brand.

These have come in handy on several occasions. Small enough to be tossed into your edc bag.

Classic tool to keep on you. Should always have at least on type of multiool around.

Good alternative if you can't find the orignal Leatherman Squirt.
GERBER GEAR 31-001134 Dime Micro Tool,One Size
Currently my favorite EDC light. I have one on my keys, and one in each bag. They're small enough you forget is there but bright enough when you need a little light.
OLIGHT IMINI 10 Lumens Tiny Keychain Flashlight, Portable Quick-Release Small Flashlights with Magnetic Base, Powered by 3 LR41 Button Cells for EDC and Emergency (Black)
My other favorite little light. Leave one in each bag, because you never know when you will need one.
OLIGHT I1R 2 Pro Eos 180 Lumens EDC Rechargeable Keychain Flashlight, Powered by Built-in Rechargeable Battery with Type-C USB Cable, Slim Mini Handheld Light for Everyday Carry
I always keep a knife on me. Lately this Elementum has been my work edc. Easy deploy and lock. Holds the blade sharp relatively well and is easy to sharpen. Plus its a fraction of the cost of others out there. For a beater, they work great. Plenty of color options out there, I choose the black blade with orange scales for easy visibility.
