Minimalist Everyday Carry (EDC) | What's In My Pockets

About this video

McGoff presents his personal everyday carry (EDC) philosophy and the specific items he intentionally keeps in his pockets as a minimalist. He explains each item—phone, wallet, keys, sunglasses, watch, breath mints, and tissue—and discusses why he chose minimal versions of each to reduce bulk while maintaining functionality and style.

Key takeaways

• McGoff prioritizes minimalism in his everyday carry, intentionally selecting only essential items to keep in his pockets rather than collecting ‘pocket jewelry’ as a hobby
• McGoff recommends the Anson Calder minimal calfskin wallet, Warby Parker prescription sunglasses, Hamilton Khaki Mechanical watch, and Altoids Smalls as his preferred EDC items
• McGoff argues that small touches like carrying breath mints and tissues demonstrate consideration for others and can improve social situations
