What is you every day carry (EDC)?

Keys, wallet, phone. I say that every morning before I leave my room just to be sure I've not forgotten anything, keys have a bottle opener and LED which are both very useful.

Pockets: 2 pens, Phone, room key, plastic pouch with various cards and a £10/20 note, tissue (for blowing my nose one.... OBVIOUSLY).

I take a small backpack most places as well and that'll have at least 500ml water bottle, vaseline (for dry lips.... OBVIOUSLY), my big key set (all the random ones I don't regularly use, with my handy OcUK branded USB stick and a safety pin also on the ring), 2 more pens, more tissues, a pad of paper, a plastic bag, a jacket/coat if I think it might get a bit chilly/wet, a USB cable for my phone, and if it's a long day a portable battery pack to charge my phone with, and my wallet, which will have about £10 in coins usually, along with some membership cards and stuff I don't regularly need

Edit: Oh, and not forgetting the pack of biscuits brown for emergency sustenance, and my spare minigun I put down my trouser leg).

A towel, it says, is about the most massively useful thing an interstellar hitch hiker can have. Partly it has great practical value — you can wrap it around you for warmth as you bound across the cold moons of Jaglan Beta; you can lie on it on the brilliant marble‐sanded beaches of Santraginus Ⅴ, inhaling the heady sea vapours;

you can sleep under it beneath the stars which shine so redly on the desert world of Kakrafoon; use it to sail a mini raft down the slow heavy river Moth; wet it for use in hand‐to‐hand‐combat; wrap it round your head to ward off noxious fumes or to avoid the gaze of the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal (a mindbogglingly stupid animal, it assumes that if you can't see it, it can't see you — daft as a bush, but very ravenous);

you can wave your towel in emergencies as a distress signal, and of course dry yourself off with it if it still seems to be clean enough. More importantly, a towel has immense psychological value. For some reason, if a strag (strag: nonhitchhiker) discovers that a hitchhiker has his towel with him, he will automatically assume that he is also in possession of a toothbrush, washcloth, soap, tin of biscuits, flask, compass, map, ball of string, gnat spray, wet-weather gear, space suit etc., etc.

Furthermore, the strag will then happily lend the hitchhiker any of these or a dozen other items that the hitchhiker might have accidentally "lost.". What the strag will think is that any man that can hitch the length and breadth of the Galaxy, ruff it, slum it, struggle against terrible odds, win through and still know where his towel is, is clearly a man to be reckoned with.
