I’ve finally found a bag which nicely fits almost everything I want to carry every day, and alos makes everything easily accessible - it is about the same size as what I used to carry, but now I no longer need to dump everything out to find what I neede, even with some lose parts still in there.

I have some larger and more specialized bags as well - but those are not EDC. Everything in that kit is USB-C (or at least has adapters for it), so worst case the complete bag is usable just with my phone.
Phone is a Unihertz Titan Slim with hw keyboard. Also have the Titan, great for the big screen, but for daily carry the slim is better.
Additionally I have a swiss army knife, flipper zero and another chameleon ultra in my pockets. I moved from a multitool to a knife with lots of stuff as I still can do most things, and have a higher chance of keeping it when I forget it on my belt at the airport yet again.
Oh nice! I haven’t heard of Unihertz out the Titan Slim before today, and I was looking for a phone with a physical kb. I’ll keep them in mind for next time. Are yet Android AOSP? Because I may get one for the penpack just to have some more tools.
The airport allows you to keep your knife? I lost a small SnapOn to airport security, because I forgot it was in my pocket.
There’s also planet computers - though the cosmo had some reliability issues at least in the early versions. My gemini still works, and I’ll eventually get another cosmo. As daily phone the unihertz is more comfortable, but the two communicators allow you to do proper work with touch typing - on a keyboard better than the larger GPD pocket.
It is a Victorinox swiss champ. Only flew twice last year - both times forgot the pocket knife. First time I stuck it in my backpack and hoped they don’t notice, which they either didn’t, or didn’t care. At the destination I realized that I also had my multitool in the backpack.
On the way back I forgot it yet again, and just was trying to put it a bit deep under my jacket - and while waiting to go through saw from some distance two police officers opening the blades, discussing it, and just putting it back.
