I am so glad I am only on this partcular "Edc" sub. Lol. And even my flashlight buying really slowed down.

I see it this way.. I can only wear one watch each day or I am a clown. No reason to have more than two or maybe three different ones to match an outfit. I could get by with only one.

All knifes cut. Of course you want a nice and sharp one. Of course we all love nice cutlery. Some are bigger some are smaller. But overkill for me to carry more than one bigger nice blade and a small vic classic.

Bangbang tools are no bueno where I live, so I can happily skip this moneysink. On the upside.. almost zero risk of getting shot on the street. Nice.

Pens.. Disposable items just like lighters. I lose my pens. People borrow them. I would be stupid to sink more money into that.. I now just buy a few nicely writing 3$ pens and hope each will stay with me for a few months.

But flashlights.. Oh boy.. Flashlights are the best. So many beam patterns, LEDs and use cases. And since mother earth lets us have darkness every night, there is a daily need and reason to have one or two or three or four and then some more.
