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.

Hiw do you deal with people who don't understand why you carry a knife?

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.

Suggestions needed for a New backpack

What kind of backpack do I get? I am confused. Can you give me some suggestions?

  1. I would go to gym and swimming
  2. Where I live would rain for the next 6 months
  3. Would like to have laptop compartment to carry laptop
  4. That I can carry if I travel by flights so that it can be as carry on bag
  5. Lightweight so that I can buy groceries

I can get at max two bags for these requirements

New EDC-watch

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:

  • Durable
  • Low-maintenance
  • Accurate, low service requirement (preferably quartz)
  • No extra features, just the 3 hands
  • It would be nice to have a sapphire or zirconia crystal
  • Available in the EU and priced between $500 ± 10%
  • If possible, Japanese, but I'm not excluding other watches
  • High-quality strap (and clasp if steel/titanium) is important

Thank you!

New Favorite EDC Bag

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.

Anyone with the Viperade VE1 or Alpaka Pouch Pro X PAC ever have trouble with the zippers opening in your pocket?

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.

Can a guy just get some consistency this year?

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)
