FAQs

What does EDC mean?

EDC stands for Everyday Carry — the essential items you take with you daily for work, commuting, or travel.

What power bank size is best for a UK commute?

10,000mAh is the sweet spot — it charges a phone twice, fits in a coat pocket, and stays well under airline power bank limits.

Is an AirTag worth putting in a commuter bag?

Yes. If you leave your bag on a train or bus, the Find My network makes recovery far more likely. It costs under £30 and the battery lasts a year.
