April 15, 2022 By Stephen Leave a Comment

As we are aware, the primary purpose of the EDC flashlight is to illuminate everything when all is dark. It is hence essential for the flashlight to be easily accessible in case of an emergency.

The question arises then as to how to carry the EDC flashlight?

It is obvious that it must be placed somewhere easy to find and close to you so that you don’t have to go searching everywhere in the dark. The flashlight must also not be placed amidst clutter so that it becomes difficult to find in the time of need.

How to EDC Flashlight (Using Different Techniques)

If you are a woman, the first thing that you can think of is your purse. Although that seems like an easy option it is not advisable as the flashlight might get mixed up with other stuff.

First of all, one must consider the weight of the flashlight they are carrying. The EDC flashlight comes in many sizes so the amount of space it occupies. Obviously, the size would determine where the flashlight should go.

The second thing that should be considered is the weight of the flashlight. Depending on your need and the piece you have acquired, the weight will make it difficult for you to place the flashlight in certain places.

Here are some ways you can manage to carry the EDC flashlight.

Keychain

Keychain flashlights would help you place your flashlight with your keys. As one cannot drive without the keys, it would make sure that one doesn’t travel without the flashlight either.

The keychain flashlight is small enough to be placed in your pocket or your dashboard providing ease of access.

Pocket

The pocket-sized flashlights are small and light enough to be carried in either the breast pocket or the side pockets. It has a pen-like clipper that can be fixed to the edge of the cloth making it easier to pull out in an emergency.

Pocket flashlights would ensure that the flashlight is close to you even if you are not heading out and staying home. The breast pocket is as close as the flashlight can be to you, although the heavier flashlights would be more difficult to carry in the pockets.

Belt

Similar to those pocket flashlights, the belt flashlights can also be clipped to the belt making it easily accessible while working. The belt can either hold other tools as well as the flashlight on the edge of the belt or they can be holstered in different pockets in the belt.

These belts can be worn while going to special work conditions and are able to hold heavier flashlights but can be uncomfortable to wear while sitting or being in the comfort of your own home.

Backpack

This is the obvious choice when going on a camping or a hunting trip or traveling somewhere. The backpack can carry both heavy and light flashlights but may provide hassle when the flashlight is thrown haphazardly along with other stuff.

If your backpack has an organizer or a side pocket specifically designed to carry flashlights, it would be convenient as well as appropriate to adjust the piece in that pocket.

Of course, you don’t carry a backpack at home and you may forget the bag somewhere making it a less efficient way to carry the flashlight.

If you are doubtful about choosing the EDC flashlight, we have also made a detailed guide about it.
