I stumbled into the EDC/pocketdump community on Instagram because I've been looking for leatherwork project ideas and oh boy is it weird. Three things that you apparently must have: 1. A tiny prybar 2. A small tactical flashlight 3. A tactical bead Also extremely common are knuckle dusters, a minimum of two knives, and some kind of gladiator helmet design Tactical forceps!    Knuckle duster mustache comb!    Beads   I'll post more from Reddit later but lol it took this guy a year to figure out to carry a wallet, knife, vape, chapstick, and tactical bottle opener.  The bead thing is just puzzling to me. It's just a manchild version of teenagers hanging plushy keychains off everything. And the flashlights. What caveman isn't carrying a phone with a light on it these days? Or is every edc enthusiast a computer toucher who spends their days poking around in server racks? Actually that might explain all the tiny prybars too.

On second thought, maybe the beads on lanyards are so you can distinguish your third knife from your 5mm hex wrench/screwdriver/bottle opener by feel in your cargo shorts pocket full of angular metal poo poo.

Oops, I left this one out of my post: Most of the knuckle dusters are similar to that one. The steampunk patina on everything is hilarious too. Fuckin tactical pens: why over-engineer the poo poo out of something and put a weak-rear end scrub-tier ballpoint filler in it? How have these goobers not glommed on to tactical fountain pens?

Roblo posted:I have some sympathy for the EDC stuff, I mean I like to carry some stuff around so I know I can deal with things. Tiny knife (I'm in the UK, so it has to be tiny) and a little multitool. But some of that stuff is bizarre. It's a bit cargo cult. You have to have a pen, a 'tactical' one at that. You have to have a little notebook, to... I don't know. Shopping lists? And the tweezers. When was the last time you needed tweezers? Sometimes you see a pair of tweezers in their own little holster. Why? quote:Friend of mine works at a jewelers and we're planning to make some beads to fleece EDC people. They're like nerds, big disposable income, it seems.

autism ZX spectrum posted:If you spend time in tall grass for whatever reason it's nice to have tweezers ready to pull the ticks off. Definitely not an EDC item unless you're ranch hand or something though. I work in a lab and use anywhere between 2 and 4 different pairs of forceps on the daily and the idea of carrying them around with me sounds like a big pain in the rear end. I definitely get for a ranch hand though, hadn't considered that. They're nice for getting cactus spines out too, maybe I should get a pair for my field kit.

Tactical clothespin! This one was titled "wedding carry."  Four watches.

I've seen the cell phone cases a bunch. I think they're just placeholders for the phone, which is taking the picture.
