>>993904No it's not. The name is clear. EVERY day carry. If you don't have it with you every single day when you leave home its not part of your edc.
>>1004799>>989661>>989215Why the flashlights? I was leaning into a prometheus myself but it didn't make sense to me when I carry a cell phone that already had a light on it.
>>989194I highly recommend doing a mini Bic on your keychain instead of a separate item. Keeps the clutter down and duct tape fits around the lighter perfectly.
>>989729Going it alone just becomes a reality of outdoorsman life. More so as time passes and age accumulates. A lot of people who "like camping" really just like partying in the woods or telling people they like camping. This is the impression I have gotten over time. Just go it alone and make sure someone knows where you are going and when you are expected back.
Pic related is my EDC currently. I debate a great many additions and changes quite often but have a hard time justifying items. My philosophy is two fold.
First is that an EDC item must actually be useful and used just about every day. Carrying around a bunch of just in case stuff is a whole different focus of preparation and I personally feel is better done with a car kit or something. Trying to cram a plethora of items onto your person daily just doesn't make sense to me.
The second requirement I seek to meet is multifunctionality and application in emergency situations. An item with one purpose and function is inefficient unless that function is extremely significant.
Hand guns are a perfect example of an exception to both rules. Generally speaking they are not used daily and serve no real practical function in general day to day activities they are also single function items. The clincher is that it can be a life changing item in specific scenarios where no other item would have the same affect. That life saving functionality is not able to be improvised in the field and is unique to the item.
