Junkyard - TBH that's kind of been my overriding feeling about this EDC lark since finding out about it. It all seems to be about preparedness, and yet keeping fit and nimble, and learning basic self defence probably does more good than carrying pocket fulls of tactical gear. All the knives and torches in the world won't stop a fat boy from being the first victim of a zombie onslaught.

Mind you, if it's anything like MTBing, on EDC forums there's probably already threads entitled [i]"Have self defence courses become the latest de rigueur accessory?"[/i]

By the way, I think the fact that this thread has turned mainly into a gun conversation perfectly illustrates the image problem EDC suffers.

I also love the statistic that owning a gun increases your chances of being shot

Correlation, not causal link....

I was about to say that. My first visit to Walmart was an eye-opener. It's exactly like ASDA, only with a heavy-duty firearms section inbetween the dairy aisle and the baked goods.

I love the fact that he didn't take a firearm to Disneyland was because it would have been too much paperwork at the airline and not that its frighteningly paranoid to carry one in what would seem to be a relatively safe children's environment! Freak!

Tactical Pens for those who aren't scary survival types are designed to operate in environmental extremes (underwater, deserts etc) and are strong enough to be used as tools/weapons if need be. Some are even sharpened at the tip so when the nib is retracted you can stab people.

We have some at work for marine salvage work as they hard to break and work in the wet and filth, haven't tried stabbing anyone as yet.

Small but known to cause damage and allow an opportunity to escape when thrust into an attackers face.
