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.
