At my last job (an academic job, with many of the usual hand-wringing types), coworkers saw it as carrying a weapon. I always responded "it's a tool, and one of the oldest ones that humans have benefited from- why should I avoid carrying one? Besides, there are plenty of weapons around the office..." That knife has been useful for countless small fixes and a couple of serious emergencies, and I feel strange if I don't have it in my pocket. The only other EDC I get into is shoes- they can't impede running or balance.

First aid in an accident without them already left me once with blood-borne pathogen infection. I keep some in the car nowadays, as having to provide first aid in an accident is far more likely than SHTF scenarios.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18252994838965155356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14473417.post-66807081528017050332013-08-15T18:06:05.806-07:002013-08-15T18:06:05.806-07:00I carry too much junk too.
