How to Choose Your EDC Stationery: 7 Tips for the Perfect Setup
Do you revel in the joy of putting pen to paper, capturing your thoughts and ideas in analog form? If you're anything like me, who can’t travel anywhere without my trusty notebook and pen, you understand the importance of having great everyday carry (EDC) stationery items by your side. Whether you're a student, a professional, or someone who loves the feel of a good pen, here are 7 tips to help you find your ideal EDC stationery.
1. Choose a Versatile Pen
A reliable pen is fundamental. Consider a tactical pen, which combines writing functionality with self-defense features. A brand like Gerber has tactical pens that write smoothly and can be handy tools in unexpected situations where you can use them as a glass breaker and write in all conditions.
2. Opt for Durability
Your stationery should be able to withstand the wear and tear of daily life. Quality notebooks from Field Notes are designed to withstand water, dirt, and harsh conditions. These notebooks are perfect for jotting down ideas even in adverse environments.

3. Embrace Minimalism
If you prefer a sleek and minimalistic EDC setup, slim-profile pens are a fantastic choice. A popular choice is the Fisher Space Pen brand which offers pens that are not only compact but also deliver excellent writing performance even in space. Slip them into your pocket or bag without any bulk or keep them protected in a Pencil Case.

4. Prioritize Functionality
Save space and add versatility to your EDC by choosing multi-function stationery items. Get a pouch that organizes your stationery along with your essentials and can be converted into a sling bag that you can take with you like our Elements Tech Case or Utility Pouch.
