I don't understand why so many seem to carry so much stuff around with you. Is your EDC actually useful?

I've never been out and about and thought 'dang, if only I had a knife, torch and compass' so why do so many seem to carry it 'everyday'?I see more downsides of having the bulk and drawing attention to yourself than these items actually being useful.Is it just a trend? via /r/CCW https://ift.tt/Y6XxNRO
