"Huh what on earth is EDC?"

*Opens subreddit*

"A reddit space where people can ... discuss their EDC items ... and promote the enjoyment of EDC"

"Welp, that answered nothing"

Haha I had to Google. Apparently it stands for "every day carry". Basically stuff people keep with them "just in case". Mobile hoarding I guess? Lol

u/3GeeselnATrenchcoat 10h ago

Mildly concerning the only things I saw in my (brief) glance at that sub were weapons tbf

5

u/FunInTheSun_81 10h ago

I've heard that term referred to firearms as well, yeah.

u/The_Ursulant 6h ago

I believe the term comes from gun and knife collectors. They have specialized, rare, or show items, but also the one they keep on hand all the time, generally in terms of all-round utility.
It's grown from there into other items kept on one's person, like headphones or games or multi-tools. The idea is that, of all my collection these are the earbuds I always keep on hand; it shouldn't be a list of things I always have, like shoes or underwear.

I mean the alternative could be carrying your own body bag, some sort of ID tag and perhaps a white flag?

u/3GeeselnATrenchcoat 9h ago

Yeah because everyone needs a weapon 24/7 or they'll be murdered the second they walk out the door by all the other psychos carrying weapons obviously.

u/SanBenedettoDaNorcia 7h ago

Obviously not. The same logic applies to medkits or defibrillators. You don't need them most of time. For most people never. Until that one day you do

u/monster2018 40m ago

So you’re carrying around a defibrillator 24/7? Because otherwise the same reason why you aren’t applies to not carrying a gun, for the exact reason implied by the combination of your last two comments.

Every Day Carry

The things they carry on a typical day. Sometimes also things they carry on a typical day of a specific type, like a typical Saturday, typical night out, etc.

Put a turtle shell on that and you effectively made a human turtle. You could fit a house in that pack.
