Every Desire Covered
Our Take
This EDC loadout presents a rather eclectic and unusual mix of items, leaning towards a preparedness/utility focus with some… unexpected additions. The aesthetic is a blend of practical tools and personal indulgences, with a slight emphasis on potentially discreet carry. The inclusion of a radio and a substantial amount of cash suggests a degree of self-reliance or anticipation of situations where conventional methods of communication or payment might be unavailable. The other items are… less easily categorized in a standard EDC context.
Pros
The loadout includes several genuinely useful items. The Baofeng UV-5R is a capable two-way radio for communication, particularly in emergency situations. The Victorinox knife is a classic, versatile tool. The cash provides a backup payment method. The Ray-Ban Wayfarers offer eye protection and a stylish accessory. The carabiner is useful for attachment and organization.
Suggestions
The inclusion of a stainless steel buttplug is highly unusual for an EDC and raises significant questions about the user's intent and the context of this carry. While personal items are part of EDC, this item is likely to attract unwanted attention and may have legal implications depending on location. The cigar, while a personal preference, doesn't contribute to practical utility. The gold-plated Zippo, while aesthetically pleasing, is less practical than a standard lighter. The Durex packaging is a personal item, but its inclusion in an EDC photo is questionable. Consider replacing the non-standard items with more practical tools like a first-aid kit, a pen and notepad, or a more robust flashlight.
