Frequently Recommended Gear
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.

Looking for a 3-4L EDC sling bag with much organization:
I'd buy the Snacktime Sling v2 if they were ever available but I also love the bigger bag Greenroom136 MetroRunner. Looking for something like these. I'm a smaller guy so I should stay in the 3-4L area. I do own a nutsac moral sling and may end up using that through some time of molle organization.

Looking for a new carabiner for my keys. Recommendations?
Looking for something a little higher end, but not insanely priced. Pretty minimal and simple. Preferably comes in black. I usually only have a couple keys and a key fob on there. What do you guys (and gals) use or recommend?

Can anyone recommend a small EDC backpack that’s still big enough to fit a small laptop?
I currently own the Tom Bihn Paradigm and love it. I think my next job may require me to take my laptop to work daily and unfortunately can’t fit the laptop in my Paradigm. If anyone has any suggestions for a Small EDC backpack like the Paradigm but big enough to fit a laptop, I’d be grateful. Thank you.

I just realized all my edc shit has some sort of fidget factor… watch has a spinning bezel, knife compression lock, flashlight bolt action, and pen bolt action. I know there throwing fidget into a lot these days but I never really thought about it till I was messing with my light today lol

JerryRigEverything utility knife in clear acrylic.
Husky 600lm inspection light
The new knife is the Schrade Girder, Stainless Steel handle, with TiNi coating on both the AUS-8 blade and the handle, frame lock and unfortunately, non reversible pocket clip and tip down carry. It's heavy and meant for heavy duty use, weighs around 10oz. Opens and closes super smoothly because of Ultra Glide. Best thing is I only paid about $5 for it because of a glitch 😂. Nice inexpensive EDC setup.

Looking for: Self Contained Lunch Box
I am looking for a lunchbox with food containers that nest or snap into it. A lot of the stuff that I found when I tried to Google search was either too small, or looked like it was cheap junk. The lunch boxes I’ve tried before all seem to be awkwardly sized for most container sizes. I work at a metal shop, so I’m looking for something that is hard sideded, and can handle being tossed around. Was wondering if there was something that other people in the trades have found that they liked that can handle daily use.

Something more about Nextool sailor?
Hello everyone! I want to buy some multitool with pliers that is not expensive and I am thinking about Nextool mini sailor. My question is after what time does it start to rust? The size of the sailor suits me as well as the size of the Victorinox deluxe tinker pliers. I think the mini sailor's pliers are stronger because they are bigger and fit better in the hand.
Your advice?
