Practical Perspective: RECOIL's Everyday Carry Equipment Setups in Real Life
In the world of social media, the "every-day carry" (EDC) loadouts often showcased on platforms like Instagram, Facebook, and forums are frequently considered as "gear porn" - a glamorised, unrealistic depiction of what an EDC might look like. But a recent article on RECOILweb, titled "Every Day Carry for Real," provides a refreshing reality check.
The article, written by Kevin B., features photos of real everyday carry gear found in a dirty bathroom repair. The gear, far from pristine, is shown in less than perfect conditions, providing a stark contrast to the polished images often seen online.
The real-world EDC loadouts offer a reality check, showing that tools used frequently will get dirty and scratched over time. Carrying such a large amount of gear as depicted in the summarized EDC kit may make one look like Batman with a utility belt.
The kit, as summarized by RECOIL staff, includes a pistol, holster, backup gun on ankle, mini-IFAK, beard comb, Zippo lighter, folding knife, fixed blade knife, wallet, task light, tactical light, watch with man-bling, multitool-keyholder, custom Ti prybar, spare mags for primary and BUG, cell phone, inkpen and notebook, bootknife, Firefly IR beacon, extra TQ, x-ray glasses, and hand lotion.
While such a list might seem horrifying due to its less than perfect conditions, it is a reminder that EDC is about practicality and functionality, not aesthetics. For more photos of the carnage, the full article can be found on RECOILweb.com.
