This is my EDC.......not yours......MINE!!!!
I have been debating for a few days whether or not to make this post but have decided that tis better to make the leap and not make it then to wounder about the leap for eternity. As a red blooded, liberty loving, evil hating, vigilant American these are the items that I carry on a daily basis. Now don't get me wrong there are times and places that some of the below items can't accompany me but for the most part, if I go they go. So without further ado, here is my EDC:
I have decided not to post pictures of these items because I would like to try and keep this post rather short and easy to scroll through. These items include: wallet, phone, keys. I consider these the DUHH items. Next are the three sisters so to speak and they are a lighter, lip balm (I prefer chap stick), and a pocket knife. Side note on the pocket knife; I prefer to use one that is in the $20 range so that if I ruin, loose it, or have to throw it out (which I have had to do on an occasion or two lol) I'm not devastated.
Ok...if you have made it this far into the post I'm going to assume (i know ass-u-me haha) that you are interested in what I would call the meat and potatoes of EDC so here goes.
Lets begin with the items that you can take anywhere and not have to worry about having them on your person. I always have, and recommend that you do as well, a good flashlight with me. A good flashlight comes in handy all the time and if you have ever needed a flashlight and not had one you know lack of light sucks. I have chosen to carry a Streamlight ProTac 1L-1AA seen below.
The next two items that I carry all the time and it doesn't matter where I go with them are a note pad and a bandanna. I prefer the write in the rain kind but you should use whatever works for you. Didn't think anyone needed a pic of a bandanna.
For my "sharp knife" as my girls call it, I carry a Spiderco Pacific Salt. It is made from H1 steel and according to knife gurus this blade will not rust, which for me living in Florida is a big plus.
Last but not least is my sidearm, PDW, pistol or whatever you wanna call it. I have chosen to carry a Smith and Wesson M&P. Just my personal choice, I'm not saying anything bad about any firearms, I just believe that a polymer striker fired handgun is the way to go.......you do what works for you boo boo.
So there you have it my down and dirty EDC. I'm hope I do not loose followers over this post but I am almost certain that I will. This post was not made without careful consideration and was in no way meant to anger anyone. However if this expression of my thoughts and beliefs has offended you then you may need to harden up and re-evaluate your definition of freedom and liberty.
Why were you hesitant to write these? If they work for you, surely they're important.
The hesitation came from the unknown....unsure of how it would be received in this community. I am very new to the block chain and social media has been a bit of a bugga boo for me personally. I would like to thank you for taking the time to check this post out and commenting.
You're welcome. I think you should post more about these stuff. Survival is a need for everyone, we don't know on when we need it. I am a nurse, maybe that played a part of it :)
Hmmm I bet the confidence you show as you're walking and carrying all that with you. Is enough to say I'm not the person you should mess with. Hehe
lol i have confidence this is true but i try not to portray "the most dangerous guy in the room" image for opsec reasons. thank you for reading this post and I hope you will enjoy my future content.
You should also be carrying a medal because you deserve one :)
Well as always @karenb54 your support and comments make me blush. It is nice to have the knowledge that a soon to be whale is interested in what us minnows post. I hope you are having a great day.
I will always support a firemen and nurse your amazing people who should wear capes everyday :)
I also carry the Spyderco Pacific Salt, my favorite blade out of many I own. I wash it off in the saltwater all the time when I'm fishing and it NEVER rusts. The new GIF looks great!

Thanks to you
Ugh, how you make fire?
Shooting iron missing hammer, must be broken.
Lmao
Seriously, you can get a multi pack of bic lighters for about $5.00
I carry a bic lol @theblindsquirl
Oh, sorry, there were pictures.
Easily distracted by pictures.
EDC for me: cheap "food" knife, cheap "everything else" knife, small ax (we live in the woods), foldable Badger .17 for snakes etc, Solaray ZX-1 flashlight, machete, trauma pack for bleeding because we're not making it to a hospital in time without it, a dose of Benadryl, and a backup battery pack in case my phone dies and Im not near my truck to charge up. We are in Florida too and, as you know, everythings trying to kill us Lol
Lol yes in Fla everything is out to get you. That sounds like quite a bit to carry on your person so may I ask if these are carried in a bag/pack?
My pockets for the small stuff, a sling for the gun on my back if Im away from my truck (off the farm I dont bring it). I need a CCW. Machete is on my belt or strapped to my leg in case I miss the snake (Badger is a single shot, I like it tho because no one ever runs out of 17 ammo!). Battery pack fits in my back pocket.
Sounds like you have a system that works for you. If I had land i too would carry a rifle but i do not currently have land 😣. I do however carry a bag most days and depending on the adventure depends on the bag but thoes are for another post. Thanks for spending time with me and look forward to hearing from you on my future posts.
My 14 yr old carries the rifle. Were always together and he chases stuff down faster Lol. Nice to meet ya neighbor!
