RULES Please use the 'Report' feature for any post/comment you feel is in violation of the below rules.
1.) Post a list of your items
When posting pictures of your EDC, please provide a list of items in the comments within one hour of posting; otherwise, your post will be removed.
2.) No Spam
We consider spam to be posts/comments that try to take advantage of the subreddit, automated or otherwise.
This includes, but is not limited to:
Advertising your own products/company/social media
Shilling for a third party/Thinly veiled advertising such as "Hope I can get this into other people's hands" or " Items I produce"
Affiliate/referral links
You can include items that you make/sell in EDC posts, so long as it includes other items.
The one and only exception to this rule is special deals offered to the members of this sub. Before posting such deals please message the Mod team.
3.) No Incivility
Comments/posts that include name calling, insults, mocking, condescension, gatekeeping, or any other form of incivility towards users or items will be removed. Criticism of an item itself is allowed, but keep it civil.
4.) No Politics
Discussion regarding any political party/ideology/group, even those you agree with, will not be tolerated. Do not debate the politics of a country/state/city, user or of an item they choose to EDC. Posts are allowed to contain political imagery (stickers, flags, patches, etc.) so long as they aren’t the primary focus of the post, and don’t violate Reddit TOS.
5.) No Inappropriate Content
Inappropriate content is content that doesn’t fit the theme of the subreddit. This includes, but is not limited to: content unrelated to EDC, news articles, nudity, and injuries/gore.
6.) No Videos
Video posts are not allowed. They are difficult/time consuming to moderate and often contain advertising.
7.) No Memes
No memes, petitions, screenshots, or clickbait. Satirical EDCs are allowed, so long as it follows the traditional EDC post format.
8.) Meet Minimum Posting Requirements
In order to post or comment, an account must be at least 48 hours old and have a minimum of 50 Karma. This is to prevent spam. Please do not message the mods asking for your post to be approved. Be patient and repost/comment once your account has met these requirements.
9.) Do not ask why someone carries a knife or a gun
Please read the FAQ before asking why someone carries a knife or a gun. These questions are often asked dishonestly, and this rule exists to discourage political debate stemming from loaded questions.
10) Do not give unasked for advice regarding firearms or knives, or ask why they aren't carried.
Do not give unasked for advice regarding purchasing or carrying firearms or knives.
Do not ask users why they don't carry.
Both of these actions are the flip side of not asking why they are carried. Doing so serves no good purpose and pushes users who choose not to carry such items into justifying their choice, or explaining the fact that laws are not the same everywhere.

I am still a young guy but I've been carrying a knife one me every day for about 2 years. Today the new knife i spoiled myself with arrived at my work as I ordered it online and knew I wouldn't be at home (for context: im a mechanic so it's useful to carry one). As soon as my coworkers heard it was a knife they started questioning why I carry a "weapon" with me, even though I kept telling them that I don't see it as a weapon but as a tool. I want to know how you guys handle that conversation. Any advice would be great.

Dear EDC Group Members!
I'm in a dilemma!
I'm looking for an EDC watch and want to find the best value for money option... I have a Citizen BN0150 with a steel bracelet and a Casio 5610U with solar power and radio control. I thought they were perfect, but I want something else.
Criteria:
Thank you!
Got a pretty interesting drawstring bag for Christmas, and I’ve been using it every day for the last two weeks. It’s definitely my favorite in my collection now. I’ve taken it to work, the gym, and out in public and it fits in perfectly for pretty much any normal situation.
I’ll post some pics of my setup inside the bag later this week, but the one they have on the website does a good job showing off the cool features.

Trying to decide between the two. The current pouch I have has the issue where the zippers open in my pocket and I want to make sure the replacement I get doesn’t have this issue.
Just the Ti things I’ve got on my person currently (featuring a new watch).

I’ve been trying to carry less as the years have gone by. Moving more stuff into my backpack that I don’t particularly use everyday. Narrowed it down to this. (Knives are on rotation but the yonder seems to always find a way into my pocket)
