EDC- Everyday Carry Thread

Hello lainons what do you carry with you every day? What kind of tech? In my wallet I have my 2 nano USB keys, one for OS one for personal files. I have different SIMs and sim tools, small screwdriver. What do you have with you?

how dare you own a gun don't you know that guns kill people?

>>54514 -knife -hipflask of whiskey -precision toolset -3 wallets, 2 with cash, one empty -pepperspray -a set of adaptors for different widespread connectors, some of them self-made (because fuarrrk paying 5 bucks for a piece of plastic and metal.) -smartphone (I really don't care about trackers, and there's not even any personal info on it to begin with. I use it mostly for leeching WiFi and Torrenting in public libraries) -dumbphone for calls and SMS -a few thumbdrives -toothpicks -matches -cheapo rain poncho -spare change to throw to homeless people, when I don't want them to bother me -a few cans of beer to share with homeless people, when I actually want to listen to their stories -a sling bag to carry it all. Pic related, it's my precision toolset.

Backpack gets a little heavy, but this is my absolute bare minimum. I keep one in each rig with spare clothes and a glock .40 + extra mags. Picrel would be really sweet. The x200 gets left behind often due to weight. A 10" screen and physical keyboard to manage terminals would be sweet. Using the smartphone keyboard and screen drives me crazy.

Lots lains really prepared with the iron here, i dont carry a piece since its too heavy and all that, but i should. List of items in my standard inventory: keychain with swiss knife attached(and a bunch of other smaller useful crap). Old catphone i just use as telephone, its supposed to be water proof but sadly its not. Wallet, since im poor i only got like some change i find and my id. A tin box to collect seeds and other small useful crap i can find. Lighter for obvious reasons. Last but not least a pair of pliers like in >>54549, but without the whole set, cant understate how useful one of these is, dont leave the house without it. Sometimes i carry a small set of binoculars and a small camera with me when the weather is good and i go further out. >>54515 Thats like the point of a gun, theyre not just there to look cool you know. >>54541 This dude is really prepared for everything.

>>54514 I've got a question off topic. What watch is that on the picture? It looks solid and neat, I like that.

Nice data mining thread. Thanks for the valuable targeted advertising insights fellow Chinese cartoon forum posters.

>>54593 damn shawty you really are pwning by seeing through the jewish trick or whatever. LOL My edc varies wildly but its just your standard nornie fare plus a good folding knife and a small jar in case I see a cool bug or rock or sonethibg similar. I also always carry an extra cardigan in case I get cold.

Also I carry... >wallet with some cash >keys >phone

>>54541 Ah yeas, good old mobile rotating shield phones. My grandpa used to carry one on daily basis when he was young.

Any bags you can recommend that are snaller than a backpack but can safely carry my 14" laptop? Backpacks feel like absolute overkill when everything I put in there is laptop, charger and perhaps a book, laptop bags are less practical than backpacks and I haven't found anything better yet. Bike messenger bags look quite interesting, but the famous timbuk2 models are either to small for a 14" or as large as my backpack. My criteria for a good bag: >durable >safely mounted on my body so I can use it on my bike, so no classic laptop messenger bag >less than 100€, I wouldn't mind buying used Any ideas?

>>54713 Just use the space for other stuff. I normally carry a few cans of beer with me, and a bunch of tools and a boltcutter.

>>54582 I like that little screen shade thing. I guess that solves the issue with screen brightness under the sun.

>>54519 >This technology saved me from dying a few times. You can't just say that and then not tell us about your near death experiences.

>>54713 A smaller backpack Carry a waterbottle, a raincoat, a hat and some snacks in your backpack

>>54550 >anything Sig pleb... its got a comfortable grip though. Too bad its not drop safe Present Day, Present Time! AHAHAHAHAHA! >>54582 >CRKT M16 A man of culture. What bag do you use?

Burning down your elementary school amiright? >>54598 Rock and bug collecting is a patrician hobby. I wish it was more accepted by normal people tho. >>54660 Tell me moar about this mystic cream? >>54713 What kind of size you looking for? 15L military style can fit a lot of stuff. But style is also very important. I think even the trashy jansports that work great for hiding weapons even have laptop pockets now. I recommend everyone have some sunglasses and headphones. If you put them on, it makes you invisible. People don't want to talk to people who are wearing glasses and phones. Also protecc from the sky light ball.

No pics sorry >knife I was about to say pen too but I guess even that's not true these days. I am a man of simple tastes. Used to carry a wallet but wallets are bloat. I used to say I didn't carry an ID so I couldn't buy booze but now I just don't carry money either. Used to carry keys habitually too. Probably a good habit to try and resume. So knife is the only thing that really sticks. And ya know they're pretty darn useful. Not just for stabbing people, any more. So Ill turn the question back on y'all. What the hell should I be carrying ? what things are useful and vital ? I've sometimes been tempted to get into prepping and start carrying fishing wire or whatever in my shoelaces but never gotten around to it.

Someone, if you have the old Miku-anon EDC pictures, could you post them?

>>55129 What flask do you have? I have a thermally insulated waterbottle but I'm thinking about getting one for my caffeine lust Hard to find such things second hand though

>>55130 NTA, but have you thought about going the caffeine pill route? i take 2x 100mg per day, combined with 250mg l-theanine per serving.

>>55135 Coffee and occasionally hot chocolate are so refreshing and tasty though A big cup of strong black coffee is so nice while out hiking or just whenever I'm tired and walking across town or coming out of the pool and waiting for my car to defrost enough to drive. If I didn't care about the hot drink part I'd just drink cheap energy drinks or something

>>55130 i have a large stanley container thing, as it was giver to me as a gift. just use whatever you can get your hands on honestly. no real reason to look for a spesific brand >>55135 coffee tastes too fuarrrking good to replace with pills, however cyb pills are. plus the morning ritual of brewing helps set up ones day and mental state.

>>55209 No more tech anyway Gloves, hat, waterbottle. You people lug all this technology around but don't have any of the basic soykaf?

>slavephone with microg >wallet, both cash and cards >student access card >70% alcohol for sanitising and degreasing stuff >FFP3 mask (if I have to have a mask may it actually give me decent protection)

>>55214 can't agree. Sometimes certain tech is required because of jobs or school. Other tech is just more practical or more comfortable in use, or does something better than a combination device. I use a separate MP3 player for music, but i use my smartphone for browsing, data handling and writing (I have a text editor and a pdf reader on it, also got an adapter for connecting thumbdrives to it). It's preference, but sometimes preference stems from practical thoughts. >>55209 Add a knife, and probably a set of precision screwdrivers. I always carry those, and on the rare occasion i need them, i am deeply thankful for having them. Maybe a piece of string , and, something i always keep in a pocket, a box of matches. Those come in handy in the weirdest ways. Need a light? matches. something stuck between your teeth? sharpen a match, Boom, toothpick. need to store something small, like a couple screws or a ball bearing? put it into the matchbox. Having a matchbox is great, and you're only limited by your imagination. Actually, i really like to keep other things in my matchboxes. The one i carry with me only has about 20 matches, the rest of the space is filled with other useful stuff: a length of strong thread, a sewing needle, a paper clip, a razor blade, a piece of tapewrapped graphite, and on rare occasions, a foilwrapped caffeine pill.

I don't even smoke. I'd like to carry precision screwdrivers and pliers, but thats already pretty heavy for an EDC. I also need to carry less normal person soykaf.

>>55214 In a populated area you dont need to. Want some water ? pull a gun on the next guy you see with a waterbottle. Want a snack ? Same, or do it in a ship. Want some gloves or somewhere to stay warm ? likewise, gun is the answer. Guns are incredible tools. But re: carring laptops yeah I never could get into the habit they're stupid heavy and fragile and annoying to use. I only carry one when I'm actually using it. Would hate to need one with me all day.

>>55233 match-lain here. No problem. As to screwdrivers. Look into Picrel. I got one of these for the cases, when i don't have my bag with, in my coat pocket. It's for those situations when my glasses decide to fall apart on me.

>>55234 Have you perhaps considered that for the significant noise and police attention shooting someone may or may not bring you could simply take your stainless steel water bottle out of your bag and brain a child or potentially a pensioner to death with it and collect their blood? Its less noisy and cheaper, bullets are expensive and blood is a good source of iron, warming too, like natures bovril. I really don't understand bringing tons of technology with you but not basic soykaf like a warm layer/gloves/raingear delete as appropriate or a drink/snacks, people worry about having to hack the gibson or reinstall your OS on the go but not about the much more likely scenarios of your hands getting cold/ potentially having to handle something you don't want to touch or getting caught out in the rain?

>>55236 no soykaf. People always forget about gloves. Don't forget about warming your phonegrabbers

>>55235 Should've thought of this before. I'm ordering one from the china's. I have the xiaomi wiha kit rn, which is a pretty big carry. But this seems nice as a portable/backpack edc! I switched to contacts, so got rid of the glasses when out, but thats pretty relatable. I don't live in a country where weapons/gloves are really applicable, more EDC suggestions? Lockpick set maybe?

>>55242 Just got up. Yeah, same here with the weapons >Lockpick set maybe? Can you pic locks? Are you much into physsec? Do you move in an environment, where this could come in handy? Then sure, go ahead. I don't carry one, as it's pretty much outside my expertise. If I need to get in somewhere, I ask someone, or I look for other entryways (doors, windows, someone holding open a door.) >I don't live in a country where weapons/gloves are really applicable Not to worry, me neither. Everything around you can be a weapon, again, only your imagination limits you (and maybe your brutality). Bricks, trash cans, fvcking spoons... But if you want a weapon no one can question you for, carry a screwdriver. Philips head, small point, PH1 is best for this. It's basically the best stabbing tool you can get, other than an icepick (the bar variety, absolutely brutal) and if you sharpen it slightly, you can still get away with it, since it would just be a finer screwdriver (I just carry it in case I need to repair *insert tech here*!). Still, if you want a completely different suggestion, carry a folded trashbag. Pretty much a lifesaver if you have a spill or need to protect something from moisture. Or maybe you want to collect trash as I do. Either way, they fold down quite much, and can fit in your back pocket. Another suggestion would be lip balm or a Chapstick, but you mentioned that gloves don't apply, so it's prolly not cold enough for that, still a suggestion for others. If it's hot where you live, maybe a small bottle of sunscreen can be useful. It pretty much comes down to where you live, where you move, what you do. All those survival type EDC kits are either far from reality and weighed down with useless sh!t (who needs a ferric rod and tinder in a damn city?) Or their owners really have to work out there a lot, where they can be caught outside for a few days, without help from outside. Oh, if you do want to get into trash collection and materials reclaimal, look into pocket ratchets, or just entire sets with a small ratchet that can accept standard 1/4inch hex bits, and are filled with different bits, sockets and hex to square 1/4 inch adapters for putting those sockets on the ratchet. Those are extremely useful when one has to disassemble something big in the field, like a bike or a household appliance. They're not even that bulky and heavy, though you do need a bag for it. Still, that's only if you wanna go into the whole trash and scrap thing.

>>55259 Trash

Remote working no So I carry my home with me

>casio a100wegg-1a >kate spade tulip cardholder (very similar to pictured just more subtle design) >celestron upclose g2 10x25mm monocular >stainless steel multitool >s10+ Used to carry a roxant 7x10mm monocular which was probably half the size. I like the celestron one good enough but the exit pupil is quite small and there is a fair amount of glare compared to the roxant. Which is odd since I don't have those problems on my celestron upclose g2 10x50mm binoculars. I work from home so don't have much of a reason to bring much anywhere. Monocular is mostly for birding btw.

>>55579 >Kate spade Always found their stuff to be fashionable... Are you a femlain or some kind of homo who likes fashionable things? I wear girl sunglasses because they are fashionable and ft my face better, nohomo

>>55580 Nope just thought it looked cool and needed a new wallet. Also wanted something smaller than a trifold that tend to be quite bulky and not great for your spine if you keep it in your back pocket. It is falling apart after about 2-3 years though, so not sure if I will replace it with another kate spade or look for something similar elsewhere. No homo, it actually gets compliments from girls that probably think im homo

Seriously disturbing how many of you carry guns and knives

>>57811 What's so disturbing about that? Carrying a weapon doesn't mean you have any intent to use it. For many women being armed is an absolute necessity for personal safety.

>>57811 >disturbed that people would carry knives friend, a knife is one of the most handy, generally useful tools I have carried around. A good pocket knife is a single, small tool that is good enough at doing any of a massive range of every day applications. I use my pocket knife all the time to cut threads and cords. To open packages and cut tape. If you don't have a tweezers a knife can help you pull out splinters a lot better than nothing. It can be used as an alright lever/wedge or screwdriver, or just as a probe to stick into something you don't want to stick your fingers in. They can be used to mark objects and write, to scrape things clean. To cut and eat food, and cut up any other random object within reason. I'm probably forgetting dozens of things even I've used mine for. And of course they can be a weapon, which is also perfectly a reasonable thing to carry about. A knife is just a friggin handy thing to have, even if you're a crazy pacifistic fagg0t. Guns obviously are less generally handy, but they've certainly got their purposes too.

>>57811 Lots of twinks carry a dildo in their EDC but that doesn't mean they use it every day.

>>57811 Psst... Things are about to get bad again in the coming years. You won't live in a high-trust society anymore. Your safety is your responsibility and yours alone. Nobody can come to save you in time. If that scares you, it's time to get over it.

>>57817 >>57817 Not him but quit being such a tool. So sick of mental children talking about SHTF, boog, coming collapse or whatever other dumb term. Maybe you should stop obsessing over the news and media so bad and go outside.

>>57837 What do you think collapse looks like? Looks like this. Yes, it actually will happen (is already) and yes things are gonna get nastier and more dangerous as we go through the domestic version of electroshock therapy. You're in denial. It's not gonna be SHTF. It's this. It's what is happening in real life right now. You go outside you prick

>>57837 >I am in denial You know collapses normally occur over decades right? The type of Ukraine life total collapses can occur too as you've seen, but are more rare. These lainons >>57849 and >>57817 are both correct. If you're not already aware or training how to defend yourself and your family you are doing them a disservice. Nobody wants or hopes for a collapse (only edgy larpers), but you'd have to be blind to the world you live in, not to take it into consideration in your EDC. >2019 EDC: Shemagh = conspiracy theorist, weirdo, creep, and future bank robber suspect. >2021 EDC: Shemagh = practical, intelligent, wise, and responsible citizen with their head screwed on.

>>57852 >>57849 not him but you guys are in such a bubble. like stop. what is this. you have been browsing *chans too much and watching the news too much

>>57849 >>57852 Every generation has thought themselves to be the last and that the world/society was going to collapse in their lifetime. But you think this time its different and you're correct because you got hyped up on main character syndrome, neuroticism and anxiety.

>>57854 >horseshite non-argument >>57855 >collapse has never happened before and societal quality has only ever gone upward stellar discourse, guys

friends, lets get back to discussing our personal EDCs! >>57811 if you don't carry a knife or gun, may I ask what you do carry ?

>why do you carry pocket knife? Why not? Unless you are from Germany where 99,9% of knives are illegal unless they are a microscopic fixed one sided blade or from the UK when you can get arrested because you had a freaking butter knife in your pocket it makes a lot of sense. Knife is one of the most universal tools known to humanity. It does not automatically make you a cold blooded killer of infants or other mentally ill fantasy of some schizophrenic lawmaker who lacks any creativity in resort of inventing reasons why electorate should vote for them. t. lainon from a country where it's legal to walk with a two handed sharpened longsword in public places and knife crimes are almost non existent outside of domestic abuse gone murder with a kitchen knife cases. We can also own legally any black powder gun or carbine including military ones from times before some year in second half of 19th century without any permit or even registration and I cannot even name a single case of a murder committed with black powder gun in recent decades. Some of these carbines can kick as strong as AK-47, some possibly even harder.

>>57811 You're an idiot.

>>57854 >getting followed by random cars or people >homeless people trying to get into my car or home or rob me for drug money >frequent muggings/assaults where i live >police turning a blind eye to crime but i'm the crazy guy for having a gun on me

>>57868 Have you considered moving out of California?

>Phone >Wallet >Keys >Clothes Anything more than that is just bloat. Unless you live in an area where you can get attacked by a wild animal, carrying a gun is just LARP. If you're worried about the people living around you, just move somewhere better.

>>57879 A watch and a knife are definitely useful. You're right about the gun though, I don't normally carry mine since its uncomfortable though. I will carry it if I'm going to sketchy places at sketchy times. I'm a big guy so most of the time I feel safe with just my little pocket knife, plus a knife has many other uses, I use it all the time to be honest. Multiple knives is cringe though.

>>57854 >you guys are in such a bubble I do hope so. I'd rather not suffer from blind faith in a supply chain that is an aberration in the history of the human race not an everlasting constant. Your post says you're *that* lost guy who was standing in the Walmart with shocked expression like a deer caught in headlamps when Convid hit and the shelves were empty because he had no plan. Sure! A crisis has NEVER happened to humans, and to suggest it ever could is a conspiracy theory! ;^) >>57855 >the world/society was going to collapse in their lifetime. >you got hyped up on main character syndrome, neuroticism and anxiety. >neurosuggesting: >Ukrainians are hyped up on main character syndrome, neuroticism and anxiety and their society has not collapsed in their lifetime. Some of us carry an EDC 'umbrella' on a metaphorical cloudy day, but as you've made clear you're not one who believes in umbrellas. Yet you have an irrepressible need to complain about those that do. Hmmm. EDC: Paracord. A 'ladder' in a burning building is good life insurance.

>>57884 > A watch and a knife are definitely useful. That's fair. Those can be useful, specially if your job evolves some manual labour. You might not be able to be pulling out your phone just to check the time, and might need a knife to open up boxes. My comment was mainly directed at the average office worker in a city.

>>57891 >>neurosuggesting: >>Ukrainians are hyped up on main character syndrome, neuroticism and anxiety and their society has not collapsed in their lifetime. Try again, Ukrainians have had a collapsed society for 30+ years, longer if you consider it "collapsed" when they were under the boot of the USSR. This is just the latest of a long, *long* string of bad things happening in Eastern Europe which no Ameriburger should never be so pompous as to think they've experienced anything like.

>>57899 >Ukrainians have had a collapsed society for 30+ years, This much cope in one Russian poster Once Moskal, always Moskal

>>57854 Projection. You know why I am the way I am? Because I have to pay bills, rent, taxes. I gotta buy groceries and gas. What do you do that you haven't noticed all this? Live with your mom and work from home on your laptop? I got my truck stolen and rammed into a concrete divider, and right now a used geo metro from like 2003 costs eighteen thousand dollars. A tank of gas costs a day's wages and I gotta refill that less than every two weeks, effectively killing nearly 10% of my money. I walk outside and there's crackheads camped out across the street screaming at me. They get in my yard and rustle around and tap on my windows at night. Everyone I know has been mugged. About half of my friends have gotten evicted and lived in cars in the past two years. A lot of them are still homeless. My damn roommate can't make the full share of the rent because of his job now, and I can't just kick him out because then I'd go broke and end up out there with the crackheads too. And this is 1000% going to get worse. Yes, it will eventually catch up with you as well. Online bubbles? Fuсk you, cunt. This is real. The only way you can avoid noticing it is being in those bubbles yourself. You're huffing copium and that ѕһіt is going to run out. I don't even watch news.

>>57855 Oh ffs I don't think my generation is going to be the last. "Collapse" doesn't mean mad max or fallout. It means Russia in the 1990s. It has happened a million times in history and it WILL happen again. It is starting now. Don't reddit me with that "everybody in history thought they would see the apocalypse." I'm not talking about seeing the damn apocalypse. I'm talking about going broke and surrounded by even broker people who might stab me for what's in my pocket. Yes goddamn it that DOES actually happen in the real world. You have been the one living in a false peace, and that is about to revert back to default. The other world is the default, not yours. Main character syndrome Jesus Christ the conceited arrogance on you

>>57897 >My comment was mainly directed at the average office worker in a city. Different things work for different people. That's kind of the point of these threads. For instance, I work in an information security area where cell phones are not allowed, so I always wear a watch.

>>57926 I don't get why everyone is talking about like the boog or WWIII or Ukraine something all of a sudden and then telling me I'm the one who is watching too much news. Obviously they are the ones doing that if this comes to mind unprompted when I say I carry a gun and suggest others prepare because things are getting worse. I don't carry a little .32 auto handgun because I'm worried about world war three. I'm worried about world war ME, motherfuсker. Because rarely a night goes by that I don't hear mag dumps a few blocks over around here. Because the last time my place got broken into and a significant amount of stuff taken (like the guy came inside, didn't just grab what was in reach from a window) I called the police at 9pm and they showed up at 3am. This was last summer, by the way. And halfway through filing the report, the cop got called off because they're short staffed and there was a shooting nearby. Said he'd come back, never did. Never amounted to anything of course. If I had been home and things went sideways, who would be responsible for my safety? Me, that's who. And what would have happened if I left that piece at home and the guy took it and murdered somebody with my gun? So it's always on me. And no, I can't move. I'm in the rent trap. I go closer to work, rent triples. I go further from work, and gas is too expensive by the time I get somewhere significantly cheaper. No public transport. Avoid this trap if you can, life is long and it rears its ugly face often. If people don't get this, it's because they are lucky. Economic crashes happen all the time. Money gets tight. People get desperate and end up in tents and smoking meth and ѕһіt. So you aren't in that kind of area, good for you. But do you think you're elite? No, you're a kulak. And kulaks get liquidated when economies crash. Ours is definitely gonna crash, the inverted yield curve and flooded repo market since 2019 is proof of that. This is a trend, not a fluke. And if the petrodollar ends? Hooo get ready, your life is gonna change. Being prepared doesn't make one a paranoid fool. I swear, how many times to preppers have to be right before people stop making fun of them? If you hedge now you might be fine later and not have to figure it out on the fly if it happens. If a person doesn't get this, then he is the one who needs to listen most. Yeah, I'm mad. I'm seething. I'm bitter and angry. Wasn't always like this—what did it to me is still out there, so prepare and maybe you won't become like me.

Damn, I see lainons carrying fuarrrking guns in public and I am afraid of carrying a butterfly knife and getting V& for it. Scandies are fuarrrking retarded with their bullshit laws.

>>57960 >I share the same specific social affliction with a norse >mfw I live in a hick town in south america LOL. I've got caught by the police with a knife once, happily one of them just yelled at me with a gun in my face and the other took it away from me. People here stab each other for nothing and cops have an itchy trigger finger. I carry a wallet with basic documents, some cash, mandatory cellphone for work, cigarettes, lighter and keys. When I'm with my backpack, I carry a rain suit, external HDD, some tools and sunglasses.

>>57960 >neurosuggesting all lains follow local weapons laws

>>58051 "Collapse" has already happened, but it's more like a controlled demolition. It was intentionally brought down in a specific way to keep it from imploding in a spectacular way. So yes, we are seeing a "hard times" collapse, not the meme "innawoods fighting zombies under a nuclear sun" collapse. Duh-doy, and anybody making fun of people for predicting the latter is strawmanning. This is like watching an incoming tidal wave from the shore. The hApPeNiNg already happened a while ago. We are just watching it get closer until it affects us personally. Some people are still debating over whether it will hit us. Yes, it will hit us. Don't listen to those idiots anymore, they failed to predict a single thing accurately these past two years despite having the full might of every institution on earth behind them. It's time to admit those institutions are lying to cover their asses. They aren't dumb or mistaken. Lying. At this point crazy street-corner preachers have more merit than they do. These same ѕһіtheads did the exact identical routine before 2008. Expert-trusters are dumb people. Too dumb to be taken seriously. It's kind of sad, like seeing a dog try to operate a tractor or something. The economic burst was already very clear by the end of 2019. Much of the coof hysteria was put in place by governments worldwide to obscure the very clear fact that governments worldwide had utterly screwed their citizens financially. Ukraine hysteria is there to cover up the waning coof hysteria (even the aforementioned dickbrains are starting to wise up and think hey maybe these mega-pharaohs running big medicorps don't actually have my best interests in mind). Ukraine is also going to be the excuse for collapse of fertilizer and food exports and heating oil killing hundreds of millions. Then they'll shift to blaming it on climate change once people return to not pretending to care about some eastern European craphole country. This will also be a smoke screen, and they will trot out the experts to protect the globalist exploiters (who happen to be the same people). The best time to stock up on some food and water for a rainy day was yesterday. Second best time is now. Everyone should stop listening to the "rational" "adults in the room" NOW because come on, what have they said at any point in your entire life that didn't turn out to be a lie? Yes I do have autism how could you tell

>>57960 >Damn, I see lainons carrying fuarrrking guns in public and I am afraid of carrying a butterfly knife and getting V& for it. Scandies are fuarrrking retarded with their bullshit laws. Well how about fixed blades? Butterfly knife ban is retarded mostly because butterfly knives are not the greatest assault weapon in knives world (blade attachment points are weak points). Additionally most of them IRL have really soykafty handles decreasing assault qualities even further. You can do cool tricks with them or peel an apple but trying to sculpt wood with them might put many of them on too big strain. Many countries derezzed various folding knives while leaving fixed blade - the most reliable form of knife also as an assault weapon the most deadly not derezzed at all or introducing some limits to blade length at which fixed blade still is more deadly than any folder. Yes, most knives laws are purely aesthetics based than having any logic behind them.

I know Lainanons like to larp as secret agents but how many of you actually get in enough trouble or criminal activity to warrant it? I think for most of you the gun carrying and anonymity obsession comes from unwarranted paranoia.

>>58290 mhm people on here love to larp like they're living in their cyberpunk realities. we do, but it's a lot more boring than they'd wish.

When I go to the police station I'm gonna say and quote; give me back my blindness guns. :D

Are there any Lain-approved backpacks? I am looking for something that is spacious enough to fit something more than a laptop (45/50/55L), but also something that is not a burden to carry around.

sage for me for doubleposting >>58431 does that color version look as embarrassing as on the pictures? It looks like something my 7 year old cousin would have. also >diet coke >white monster jewelry. studies on this topic vary, but some note that artificially sweetened sodas have links to kidney and heart diseases or even fat gain (in case of aspartam). take it as you wish, but if you replaced regular soda with diet soda for health benefits, just have in mind that these offer little to no benefits. just a heads up. I am not an expert though.

Gun owners are LARPers. Owning a gun is ok if you actually know how to use it and your threat model involves attackers but boasting about owning guns on a public forum is LARPing.

>>58595 I mean, considering that an average lainon lives in low income city in Brazil or some bum-fuarrrk metropolia in the US where crack is cheaper than water and is a hard schizoid* it's pretty understandable for them to carry a piece. At least I can understand it. If you live anywhere else, just carry a fuarrrking knife, pepper spray or a stun gun/zap stick. It's better to get a fine than get listed and V&. But of course, it depends on your threat model. *or that's what my idea of an average lainon. don't take this as an insult, just an overcolorized description of (supposed) reality.

>>58588 >Are there any Lain-approved backpacks? Go to a thrift store and find one that is big enough. Marrying yourself to a brand is the least Lain you could ever do.

This entire gun thing in this thread is such a massive cultural difference to me, it's like when you watch a documentary about cannibalism in Papua New Guinea or some out-there Bollywood movie. Like whoa, this is wild, I don't get it, people walk around with firearms, like what? Why? Where I live you own a gun either because you hunt and it's a hunting rifle or because you need it for work, think law enforcement, military, security force etc. You can get a gun permit, it's not super difficult or anything, it's just basically nobody does that. It would be considered really weird and anyway there's no point, it's safe, people feel safe. I don't even know anybody who owns a firearm. In the last 10 years I saw an actual gun maybe twice, when security guards were loading the ATM or carrying money from the banks or something and that's about it.

>>58607 idc about brands, I just want the good stuff, and these being near military grade brands I thought they will serve me for at least 10 years. I am not the biggest fan of throwing soykaf out after a year, that's why I am asking. Thrift stores in my city aren't what you would find in the US or eastern europe (namely Poland, where you can/could buy soykaf by weight. idk if it's still the case). Stuff isn't that cheap and there isn't much there anyway. But w/e, I'll drop by there tommorow and see if there's anything of value. >>58608 >hunting >nobody applies for firearm license >has seen a weapon only once smells like Ikea

>>58606 >considering that an average lainon lives in low income city in Brazil High income anons are the ones who own guns. Pieces ain't cheap. Big issue is that the nice neighborhoods are surrounded by jungles full of monkeys

>>58595 Carrying a gun is easy and low impact if you can afford it. Everyone's threat model should include being mugged by a junkie. A free man owns himself and so has to take responsibility for his most important property. If you can't decisively end a threat to yourself, you belong to someone else. Buy a gun and train as much as your funds will allow you to.

>>58606 >It's better to get a fine than get listed and V&. But of course, it depends on your threat model. no clue what that means. I think the general weapon carryer justification is more along the lines of better to kill a guy then be the guy getting killed. >>58611 >guns so expensive. fam they're cheaper than smartphones. >>58595 what even am I supposed to say to that. Lol, ok. Nice pen you've got there in your backpack, I take it you're trying to give the impression you're literate, some sort of writer ? ahaha, nice LARP, F@GGOT. Bet you cant even read lol.

>>58620 by "listed" I meant getting onto a gubmint watchlist or whatever, basically black VANs cruising around your house. if you don't know what "V&" means, then you know what to do.

>>58609 There is no brand that is affordable and not expensive. If you can, buy military surplus. There are webstores for that, or you can look around your local flea market, there may even be something else you want there. If it survived grunts for 10+ years, it'll survive you for another 20. If that's not an option, try buying stuff made from denim or leather, I can recommend the canvas hiking backpack by Aoking, it's about 30€ from Amazon if I remember correctly, but I got it used on a flea market for a fiver. It comfortably holds about 20 kilos without showing even the slightest weakness. Good luck on finding something you like lain.

>>58624 Seconded. Dunno about the surplus, never bought it, but I also have an Aoking canvas backpack, the 35L model. Bought it for 25 yurobucks, it's probably more expensive now. Still holding up very well, and I put through intense use over the 5 years I have it.

>>58609 Osprey makes great backpacks. I have two and they both have served me very well.

>>58619 >Buy a gun and train as much as your funds will allow you to. dry fire master race... its freeeeeee

I can provide different recommendations if lains want something outside the USA, or if you have a specific use of packing list, style, or use (Like cameras, computers, hiking, camping etc.) Arcteryx made a contract backpack for the Marine corps that you can find for around 30USD used surplus as a "marine corps backpack", the commercial variant costs around 200USD

>>58590 No, it looks pretty normal, if you mean the watch. I got it on clearance a few years ago, so I wasn't really concerned about the color. I just needed a watch & it currently goes with most of my outfits pretty well when I wear it. About the diet drinks, I'm aware of the studies, they just taste better to me. For me it's the fact they're less sweet. I also smoke, so I'm already kinda gambling with my health. I haven't drank as much of it lately, though.

>>58620 >fam they're cheaper than smartphones. The anon you quoted may not be talking about gun prices in 'MURICA.

>>58707 >Iphone whatever - $999 >Used Glock 17 - $350 + $30 for a box of 50 rounds No, this could still be in America. Just because you use a Huawei that cost $20 does not mean everyone else does. Street prices are also not too atrocious. People were buying ammo off the dark web at normal prices during the supposed "shortage" which was just a code word for we can charge more because we want to. Reminder that Remington had a million rounds lying around to donate to Ukraine. Having a $1200 custom scoped pistol with a laser wont fix most peoples poor ability to shoot anyway.

>>58323 >>58322 School shooter, or tactical operative wannabe?

>>58708 There is more of a price spectrum for phones than you seem to know. Most of them are in between the extremes you mentioned, but whatever serves your agenda I suppose.

>>58740 1- I like the idea of having my name (or my friend group name) wherever in the city 2- It pisses off rich people 3- It's an effective way to fight against gentrification 4- Also a good way to deliver political messages Your reaction is the exact kind of reaction I try to induce

I already posted here but recently i made a habit of not leaving the house without my military vest that has useful/emergency stuff right in designated pockets so i dont need to go trough searching when i need something and can put it right back in. Contents of said vest are: small binoculars, compass, gloves, tissues, earplugs, pincers, lighter with flash light, pen, mini pocket knife, micro usb cable, earphones, pepper spray, generic plastic "key" for water hoses and such and a small canteen for collecting water. It also provides both thermal and slight kinetic protection(incase ukrainean "refugees" want me to "donate" them food). My minimal equpiment consists of keychain with pocket knife attached, wallet, lighter, phone(just for phoning) and a pair of pliers for various things. It hasnt gone to the level of having to carry a baynette and a gun, but once it does im gonna be ready. Id carry more equipment but currently the systems are packed.

Wondering if I should carry more with me? When I buy food I bring money and bag but usually I have just keys with me. Sometimes my cat if he wants to join my walk. Then again I don't go too far away from my home.

>>58970 EDC kits are LARPing to some extent. take with you whatever suits you. If you don't need a weapon where you live, that's perfectly fine, same with most stuff people here list. If you want to be prepared for unforeseen circumstances, think about what may happen on the way to buy food, and just pack accordingly. You may fall and scrape your knees? some band-aids will do. Maybe you come across something interesting, that you don't want to put into your clean pocket? plastic bag it is. Generally, something that can always come in handy, are a few plastic bags, a spare pair of shoelaces for your shoes, and a box of matches or a lighter.

This is mine. You can pretty much tell what it all is without me making a list.

>>60586 Why is your table-cloth so dirty? Are you so poor that you can't afford a washing machine? Do you live in some kind of soykaf-hole?

>>60586 >no car key on keychain what are you, poor?

>>60596 maybe he just lives in sanfransisco and figures there's no need to lock the thing

should i be carrying more soykaf around? i only have my keys, wallet, and phone with me on any given day...

>>60587 Camping trip. >>60596 Don't need one where I live.

>>60598 yes you need to be carrying more stuff. I suggest investing in some nice cookware, such as a cast iron dutch oven. In order to make its use practical, you'll likely also want to carry fire starting materials. If you don't live in a dry forrest, this should consist of 10 pounds at least of firewood, or a propane stove system if you're a modernist. If you are in a dry forrest, consider a large steel pan in which to hold your fire making materials safely. Additionally, you're going to need something to cook. The best option is to carry a good hunting rifle and a good multipurpose knife, as well as a generous supply of ammunition. If you live in a city you may instead opt for a handgun and a crowbar. You mention carrying a phone, but as anyone here will tell you, phones are an insecure medium of communication, fully dependant on easily targeted infrastructure for any long range (beyond wifi) comms purposes. You need to invest in a high power portable radio system, as well as an easily errected long range antenna, ideally the type you can throw up in some trees in just a few minutes. To power it you'll need at least one car battery or equivalent. The unfortunate thing about radio is that it makes you an easy target, and here is where we get into self defense. Radio installations are highly vulnerable to anti emissions missiles like the HARM. You're going to need at least a couple of high power radio decoys, ideally that can be launched at some speed and short notice, as well as a missile approach warning system. Last but not least, a portable guided missile launcher is always a handy thing to have, the price has lately gone down a ton what with the war in ukraine. These can be quite disruptive to attacking aircraft as well as armoured vehicles and should give you time to evade. Hope that helps.

>>61978 Backpack and accessories is a cute, weed is degenerate

Forgive me, I live in cunt with extreme laws against carrying lethal weapons in public. And you can forget getting a gun.

>>62016 Agreed. Backpack is cool but weed is lame.

Do you people walk around with backpacks?

>>62078 >Hello everyone I'm American, boy how could you tell

>>62087 Do Americans think backpack in an EDC is uncool

>>62089 >tfw american >tfw includes a backpack as part of his EDC

>>62078 Why tf not? Are you more concerned with fashion than functionality? Everyone point and laugh at this guy.

>>62089 >>62087 Yes, I am American. I am not critiquing. It does seem a bit unusual outside of e.g. a school setting, but maybe I should regularly use one (or maybe even a briefcase) for carrying around various useful items

>>57811 If you ask yourself, "Are these things offensive or defensive weapons?", you'll find the answer is that they are defensive (if they are even weapons; pocket knives aren't). What's wrong with someone having the ability to defend themselves until everyone's favourite person, Mr Cop, shows up? Gun ban advocates seem to think that their political candidate can just protect people with telepathy as soon as they get into office, with no need for asshole cops or asshole gun-owners. In fact, just gas everyone without a liberal arts degree and let peace reign forever more.

>>62117 If you live in a place where you, as a civilian, need a firearm to protect yourself it's already over. You live in a failed state. Move to a safer place.

>>62117 Why does that Lain not wanting to carry a weapon himsrlf translate into OMG BAN GUNS in your brain or have anything to do with what he studied at college? And you do know, liberal arts and liberal as a political position have as much to do with each other as a liberal sprinkling of salt, right? You DO know these are different applications of the word, right? People would be more inclined to listen to pro-gun arguments if they weren't so used to you people jumping down their throats before anyone's even brought up the legal issues in the first place.

>>62128 What if someone run out of "safer places" already?

>>62117 >>62128 I carry a gun as an offensive weapon. People want me dead unironically... It's all so tiresome.

>>62750 Imagine living somewhere where you NEEDED that protection all the time though.

>>62757 imagine living somewhere where you're not allowed to defend yourself

>>62760 Belgian stated didn't allow me to defend myself against my child sex abusing mother who is a special education teacher/director. But they totally framed me, tried to kill me, tried to have me incarcerated, ... I have to take like a knife to extremist damaging pedo cult order of doctors if I need medical help I guess. And then they probably won't diagnose real medical conditions again. An they will probably organize fraud, diagnose "psychosis" again. And that's in a case where "psychosis" was previously organized for suppression of child sex abuse scandals, and this "psychosis" was claimed by my mother's doctor who damaged me, tried to kill me as a child. "Psychosis" being induced PTSD, mutilation of brain, suffered abuse, ... I have heart problems and no diagnosis of the heart. A lawyer here will choose to trust in extremist damaging pedo cult order of doctors, they choose to trust against their own client. A lawyer chose to trust the contents of what I regard as evidence of organization of fraud. Judicial system is sham. I never lived under rule of law. I was indefinitely convicted to circumvention of the judicial system for what others organized for suppression of child sex abuse scandals since I was a child. I was elaborately mutilated for presentation of scandals.

>>62761 Belgian state* Mutilations I suffered: genital mutilations: my sadistically child sex abusing mother severely twisted, bent my penis when I was a small child. More recently genital injections with infection doctor made me treat by applying acid. Pectus excavatum: repeated hits to my chest as a child chemical weapons bio weapons hits to my heart hits to my brain infections applied to my face likely punctured through my ear to damage my brain, in relation to the organization of "psychosis" PTSD Depression Of course, selective normalization of child sex abuse is mutilation ... Files in relation to the organization of "psychosis" aren't retrievable from 3 different doctors.

Belgium is in fact not ruled by law nor by democracy. Belgium is in fact ruled by trust in extremist damaging pedo cult. I've alerted lawyers, public prosecutor, press, politicians, police, ... The Belgian state owes me enormous damages. They have the means to grant them easily. In the case they use extreme unethical means such as abuse under drugs administered without consent. Not using unethical extreme means to acquire justice in the case would be unethical given use of it against me for the framing, so that would be exclusivity, unjust. But judicial system is sham and Belgium is in fact not ruled by law.

I'm disgusted by all the gun carriers. That's just crazy. You need to move somewhere better. I'm disappointed in my fellow lains

>>65035 Relax... none of them will ever actually need to use one. People who do don't participate in threads like this.

Like I'm gonna tell CIAnon I keep a small .38 in case the supply lines ever stop and city dwellers become a horde of cannibals. >>65035 It is a comforting idea that any occupation of our country would be way worse than Afghanistan though? In all seriousness it does seem only practical to take advantage of any right you have. You don't have to be a psyco who fantasizes about hurting people and you don't have to shoot someone in the head. Just by having the power to escalate a situation and using it responsibly can probably prevent most violence.

>>65035 I'm saddened by how many lains think this way. Reminder that you're not peaceful if you don't have the capacity for great violence. You're harmless. It's an important distinction. Stay strapped or get clapped.

>>65035 it is honestly embarrassing the amount here who carry guns

>>65038 You don't know if you have the capacity for violence until you do it. You stop being peaceful when you do. "Walk softly and carry a big stick" is not peaceful behavior.

>>65894 >fuarrrking and killing are really almost the same thing You can't be a peaceful independent person if you are incapable of reproducing or killing. The importance is in using your discretion for both.

I really hate that I live in a country where gun ownership is common and encouraged. I just want to be safe and comfy. I'm disappointed in the lains who carry guns everywhere. It freaks me out so bad.

I wonder if such persons ever used those except for occasional shooting at their yard / showing off as a matter of threat. If you lack the feeling of safety you might as well learn how to think of yourself as a valid threat too.

>>66093 failed cypherpunk. Don't rely on government systems to protect you. Might as well get a clipper chip as well

>>66128 Laws won't protect you, but generally people won't just stand around and watch a murder be committed. Also, unless you actually have enemies that want to kill you, you probably will never need to defend your life by taking another. A gun is a device for killing and it cannot be used as a reasonable response to any threat that is not the immediate threat of death or great bodily harm. It can only be a deterrent in other situations, when put on display. People who edc handguns are either criminals or LARPers.

>casio f105w >victorinox multitool >wallet dont need anything else to be honest

>>66129 >but generally people won't just stand around and watch a murder be committed you'd be surprised how useless the average person is in times of need. >A gun is a device for killing Not if you know how to aim. A gun is a device for stopping, because not every shot is a headshot or even gutshot. You sound like you've never used on in your life. I'd try using one before talking all this philosophical soykaf on it.

>>66144 Getting shot in a limb can still kill you. >You sound like you've never used on in your life. Wrong.

>>54515 Weapons: CC Revolver, 8 rounds Pepper Spray Electronics: Chinkphone Battery Bank Flash Drive (encrypted) Vape Headphones Tools: Lockpick Leatherman Misc: Wallet Keys some joints

>>66149 >Shot in a limb can kill you Not really though, unless you just watch yourself bleed. The main "limb" danger is around the hips where you can't put a tourniquet, and still technically center mass. Is a sword meant to kill people? Is any weapon meant to kill people? It's quite the philosophical gymnastics since most gunshot wounds aren't fatal and even militaries hold the doctrine of "shooting to maim." See, when you shoot to hurt, it takes 4 guys to drag him off the battlefield. By only hurting, not killing, you successfully removed 5 enemies from the fight. Doctrine, statistics, history and common sense all aside, simple math is proof that guns are not specifically for killing. The NATO 5.56 was even specifically designed and chosen to maximize the survivability of whoever gets shot while also inflicting serious life threatening wounds.

>>66172 >Is a sword meant to kill people? Yes > Is any weapon meant to kill people? Many of them >most gunshot wounds aren't fatal and even militaries hold the doctrine of "shooting to maim." Mainly because its really hard to get somebody to flat out kill a guy who they have nothing against personally. You can easily die of being maimed. Just because most gunshot wounds aren't fatal doesn't mean they aren't potentially mortal wounds, including shots to the hand or foot. This is like saying cocaine isn't addictive because most cocaine users never get addicted. >See, when you shoot to hurt, it takes 4 guys to drag him off the battlefield. That would make perfect sense if everybody stopped fighting to drag their buddy off the battlefield. Thats not something you can rely on at all. Prussian trained infantry would literally step over the wounded and dying to continue pressing forward. It's also pointless in a self defense situation because a) you're almost certainly not a soldier on active duty b) you're probably in really close quarters

>>66172 This guy is a totally clueless larper who just watched too many action movies. Trivializing a shot in the limb is beyond stupid. You have zero clue how people behave

>>66179 >You have zero clue how people behave That's unrelated to how trivial a limb wound is. Why are you so mad?

>>66179 >Trivial as a shot in the limb Your words not mine, I said rarely fatal. Gunshots can shatter bones in particularly devastating ways and most people's reaction to being shot anywhere is shock. >>66174 None of that changes the fact that the 5.56 was designed to not kill and selected to not kill. If one "gun" violates your principle of "designed to kill" then your principle is false. Adapt your terms but "guns are meant to kill" is demonstrably false. Weapons are meant to be a threat.

>>66181 >>66184 You're a joke man

>>54541 Reminds me of this joke they keep telling of a local guy here: >Be on late 50s/early 60s. >Nazareth. >Landline infrastructure present in city, but hookup takes quite a while (govt' monopoly). >Smart retard figures out he can buy a phone without waiting, useless without a line though. >Carries it everywhere nonetheless. >Find some random line when visiting someone. >plug_in.png >"it's my phone, so I paid for it" >???? >Profit!

>>66172 Stop watching sniper movies. This larp is hard to stomach. You assume comradery but thats not real outside of movies. Armies arent made up of lemmings yelling "Oh no! My fren!".

>>66204 This isn't a debate, I'm correct in every assertion. US and rival powers all came to the same conclusion, even. Your focus is too narrow, "Oh no, my fren" + the gas, supplies, food, space, logistics, and everything in between. You're being blindly unrealistic to support some internal political fervor. Who do you think I represent? Why are you so passionate? This is simple math in regards to global powers' military doctrine in handling peer adversaries being opaquely contradictory to your worldview.

>>66215 >Who do you think I represent? I think you represent yourself, a fool >Why are you so passionate? Why are you? > US and rival powers all came to the same conclusion, even Haha, sure.

Where have you been?

>>66123 Laws don't do soykaf. Its unironically easier to leave someone as an unsolved shooting victim than to claim self defense by reporting yourself. Lawyers will try to get money no matter what, and cops have to treat every shooting as a crime. Look at places with huge homeless, drug, or migrant problems. Also consider that people who carry guns are usually also not normally prepared to use them, and they get treated as comfort objects or fashion statements. >>66129 Wrong... The bystander effect literally refers to peoples uselessness, but you are right, guns exist to kill, but the threat of death does deter violence sometimes. >>66172 Most criminals don't use expensive ammunition, people die because of saturation of fire, improper first aid, or not wanting to go to the hospital (gunshot cases are automatically investigated as crimes). You can carry hollow points to reduce over penetration, and also inflict more bodily harm, but most people carry cheap fmj with their poor knowledge if weapons just causes entry+exit wounds and minor trauma. You would be amazed at the number of people who think they are dying from a minor shot to the arm or leg, chest wounds kill by causing the torso to fill with air, but that takes a while. >>66204 >"Oh no! My fren!". This is literally something militaries have to train troops to avoid. The tldr of carrying guns for EDC is that you probably wont use it, but most people hesitate to use it anyway. I'm not saying you should not carry guns for EDC, but if you do, make sure you know when and how to actually kill someone (especially don't use "warning shots" or "leg shots" or any of that gay soykaf and learn to not mag dump, you have a gun to kill, not to act tough like some kind of larping faggit). The same goes for any self defense tool. You should have someone spray you with pepper spray, because being in close proximity means you will have to deal with it getting on you, and knife fighting requires skill. Batons are also practical, but you cant hesitate or go easy on someone or they can take it and kill you.

>>63331 Why is there cum all over your keys? That makes it harder for me to dupe them.

>>66235 He sticks them in his pee hole

I heard that the US Army has a trick. If you get sodomized enough in the barracks then in battle you leak more cum than blood therefor you are likely to survive long enough for help to arrive. I dont know. Might just be a rumor.

>>66234 >you have a gun to kill True, any shot fired should be considered instantaneously lethal; This is the respect we share for guns and their use, but reality is far removed from expectations. Most gunshots do not kill, 80% of pistol shots aren't lethal, probably because the people using them don't realize how hard it is to kill somebody. t. Tactical Combat Casualty Care with the US military. Guys with 10 holes in them have to be told they're going to die if they don't sit down, others see blood and think they're dying. The difference between instantaneous death is how fuarrrked up your plates are and millimeter differences in round placement. For you shy liberals, an excellent example is that stab wounds are almost never fatal. It's almost always blood loss from slashes. The same is true of rounds that enter the body in weird circumstances. No I'm not a medic. >O no my fren >Armies have to train their soldiers to not do this >Specifically because "shoot to maim" is the most successful military strategy since the phalanx And enemies have exceptional desertion rates as a result. That's why we broadcast to the enemy that we take prisoners; No death penalty, no more fighting, a comfortable, safe cell and 3 meals a day. They roll over and become informants, we even give them phone calls back to their soykaf holes.

>>66252 Yeah I dont know how many periscope vids ive seen of darkies in shootouts with 15 holes in them and they get in their car saying "We out errr real soykaf nigga!". Its like the 9mm is a toy gun unless you get a headshot. Stabbings the same thing. People are just really difficult to kill apparently. Quickest I see are like you say slashes and then 5 gallons spurt out and they drop. So with that said, if you want to actually kill an attacker and not maim, perhaps look into a karambit.

>>66243 This is actually more of a russian tactic to be honest >https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dedovshchina >>66252 >Virgin TCCC, not Chad CLS >>66253 >So with that said, if you want to actually kill an attacker and not maim, perhaps look into a karambit. LMAO not that gay soykaf, Karambits require significant training to use. Use it wrong and you get it stuck. It is practical as a control device (digging, clawing, dragging) but not as a defense weapon without training and a ot of practice. The SOCP is a contemporary concealable dagger, and combat daggers have been in use for centuries. For EDC, using a craft knife, scalpel, or small dagger, and even a well made writing utencil or screwdriver works fine. Knife wounds are all about placement, slashes will cause people to bleed out for sure, but stabs/cuts to vital areas (nerves, arteries, soft tissue) will do much more damage than a superfcial laceration. Think about most kitchen injuries and how survivable they are. Or carry a hammer, nobody questions a good handyman.

>>66294 >lol, Glock 40 problem solver go bang >>66297 Depends on the type of tape, I usually carry one because it beats dragging around a full size a ruler, but I also tailor clothes for people and do odd repair jobs where knowing dimensions helps a lot. I also usually have a flashlight, safety glasses, a small inspection mirror and assorted tools when I am working. On the weekends I carry keys, knife, mp3 player, and some money. All these anons trying to carry covert self defense tools make me laugh. You aren't some kind of assassin or hero, and the odds are most would be better off investing in a good pair of running shoes to get in shape. If you need a weapon, go all out, not saying to be a larper, but don't try improvising as your go-to. Consider your threat model, you seem to be exceptionally good at scaling cybersec to who might try to get you, so do the same for physec. In many cases a bulletproof vest is more valuable than a gun. If you expect to get into a gun fight, you will probably also need trauma medical supplies and at a certain point may as well carry a buggout bag. Most cases being able to go to a doctor is fine if you are within 30 minutes of a hospital. But will you need to fight your way there, will people come at you with heavy weapons, or are you in a warzone or gang territory?

>>65038 Why not just pepper spray or baton? If a gun owner goes mental, people are bound to die. You can run away from a sword, not from a gun...

>>66301 at even a slight distance how well does pepper spray hold up against a gun. pepper spray is good for preventing up close and personal crimes not for anything with any distance. simply put - you need a gun because they have guns.

>>66302 depends how tight a space you're in. but you're gonna be breathing it almost as hard as he is, and crazy people can do crazy things even with soykaf in their faces. Knife on the other hand, standard claim is if you're about 20 about feet away from a guy he won't have time to draw and shoot if his gun's not in his hand but your knife's in yours. the most popular anti gunman weapon is probably the gun though idk.

What do you guys do to have functional/useful strength for everyday situations? Stuff like pull ups, weighted carries, walking with a pack, and the like. Lately I've been getting into strongman routines/exercises to build up my ability to carry awkward things without hurting myself and building neck muscles to prevent strains and injuries there, but I supplement them with the usual compound movements and supporting exercises. My current goal is to be able to lift a small car/medium log off someone if need be WITHOUT breaking my spine.

>>66362 squats my dude, squats, kegels, hip and calf workouts, ESPECIALLY CORE (planks/leg lifts) and whatever the fuarrrk those lumbar exercises are. Also ladies like a nice ass on a guy. Imo endurance is better than strength. Sure you can lift a car or a log, but how often do you expect to be doing that unless you are a firefighter or paramedic or something. I can think of dozens of scenarios where being able to run a marathon or walk long distances is more practical everyday. I walk to work, which saves me money, and I carry a rucksack with my lunch and misc. edc items. I could survive with everything I have on my back.

>>66372 Bro... you're gay if you focus that much on the ass muscles. The illustration is of a woman which should tell you something.

>>66372 >but how often do you expect to be doing that the point is not wanting to be caught offguard in case that happens. If something really heavy is on someone else or myself, I don't want that to be a hinderance >endurance is better than strength no one said you couldn't have both. >kegels excuse me? Anyways, i like this guy's stuff. The title of his pram is aptly named, lol: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u0mKcLraJWE

>>66374 The man said he wanted to not blow out his back. Strong legs, glutes, and core are crucial to preventing lift injury. The fuarrrk you think lift with your legs means. Unless your EDC consists of an exoskelton or cybernetic strength enhancements, you're going to need a strong base. >>66375 >If something really heavy is on someone else or myself, I don't want that to be a hinderance How much weight are you expecting to direct lift? you will probably have other people to help in most situations and also have leverage. Unless you have a large frame that can support lifting 200+ kg, the return on investment just isn't there unless you just want to be a strong man. That becomes a full time job itself. Lifting and pushing are also vastly different motions. >excuse me? You heard me nigga, it helps with strain injuries that harm your man parts. It also helps with male sexual performance if you care about that. Hernias are no joke either, so learn how to breathe.

>>54514 For you guys that carry vapes, which ones do you use? I have two Vaporesso Sky Solo Plus but I only ever use it at home for fear of it leaking inside my backpack (and possibly ruining notebooks/USB drives). I smoke one cigarette after work everyday while waiting for the bus, but I'd much rather vape.

>>66394 Stop vaping, just stop. There are better ways to release stress and anxiety.

>>66378 >That becomes a full time job itself. It really isn't. I added strongman movements to my exercises and, apart from helping with mobility, is fairly easy to progress in. I'm only 6', but I'm up to 100kg farmers walks and 175kg stone carries in about 6 months of training, but for the compound movements that allow the lifting of 200+kg, I've been doing that in squats and deadlifts for a while. It hasn't been a "fulltime job", just training regularly for a long time. I believe most men and women alike can do this if they feel the need to (which they should). >you will probably have other people to help in most situations There aren't many people that can lift nearly this much, if any. The point is that I don't want to depend on others, which is largely the point of EDC in and of itself. >It also helps with male sexual performance if you care about that. Well this is an EDC thread, so no.

>>66399 >There aren't many people that can lift nearly this much, if any. I'm pretty sure I typed ", if any" by reflex. There are definitely people stronger than me, lol

Hi lains... I like to carry a tote for my stuff when I travel. In my tote I normally have a smaller bag for my wallet Bluetooth headphones, and toiletries, and a book. I walk to go shopping so the tote mostly functions as style until I buy groceries or something. I would like to start making more use out of my big ass bag by bringing books, but I read off of PDFs so I should just put my PDFs on my kindle. Thought to reply to this thread since I lurk it often, learning what other's carry is a bit of a culture shock to me.

how do you all (in places where it's illegal) hide the scent of your spliffs so the k9s units dont stop you while walking down the road. I get harassed a lot by the local PD. They mostly just tell me to destroy it (since its a small amount). I live around an area with pretty high crime so I carry a gun too.
