    What is an every day carry really when you get down to it?

    Are you sure they are money and not challenge coins as a lot of Americans seem to carry them? "EDC" is a habit from the Cubs and it just carried on from there however it was called being Prepared then. A lot of the old uniforms had lots of multiple uses.

    You are going on a 3 day trip and have to stay UK legal so what do you carry?

    Sorry I tapped out a bit after reading some of the replies. The question was not about legal carry and more about what jobs can you not do with a UK legal knife that you would want to? Location not really a thing except you are going to bushcraft.

    Is a psk really needed in the UK?

    Yes and it what can you use to survive? I have had fishing kits in survival kits as long as I can remember and I do not fish so a bit of a waste of space. That was one of turning points for me. One of the big issues is that they are in reality escape and evasion kits. I have sort of gone the...
