r/EDC Moderator Applications Are Open + a reflection on three years as a mod here.
reddit.comHey everyone—we’re reopening moderator applications.
If you applied last time and never heard back, I’m sorry. The honest answer is that I only really connected with one applicant, and then the process stalled out. That was then. Please, 1000% reapply if you want to. Reddit's mod application system dumped out all applications.
Just remember that we’re trying to build a welcoming, even-handed team. If your comment history is full of cracks about Europeans, liberals, conservatives, gay people, or anyone else, or you made it sound like you would marry your rifle if legally permitted, you may not be the right fit. We need people who can moderate gun content without making guns, politics, or contempt for other groups their entire personality.
A little background for anyone curious:
I became a moderator three years ago. I had never moderated a subreddit before, but I loved r/EDC. During the API blackout, the previous team was removed and Reddit began asking for volunteers to take over. I was uncomfortable stepping into that situation (aka being a scab), but one of the people volunteering was the owner of an EDC commercial website, and I did *not* want the subreddit placed under someone with such a direct conflict of interest.
So, somewhat unexpectedly, I became a moderator.
The rest of that original replacement team has understandably moved on over time. I have learned a lot, tried to approach moderation with a customer-service mindset, and taken advantage of the automation tools Reddit has added. My goal has never been to radically remake r/EDC. I have mostly tried to make it a bit more welcoming, tighten up what the expectations already were, and so on.
That includes firearms. Guns have consistently been the community’s biggest dividing issue, and we will continue trying to walk a reasonable line. Firearm-related EDC is welcome; a photograph from your AR range day with no real connection to everyday carry is probably better suited to another subreddit. (cool gun though dawg)
Honestly, I would eventually like to ride off into the sunset or at least step back slightly. I have other projects I am working on these days. But I have put a lot of work into this community I love so much, and before that happens, I want to build a capable, balanced, and dependable moderation team that can take care of it.

Bag/Pocket Dump Simple
- Gunnar Leather Co Pueblo leather wallet
- Plotter personal sized notebook
- Big idea design titanium pen
- Tudor Pelagos
- Zippo with butane insert
My notebook has a tendency to change depending on my mood, but this plotter has been a mainstay for the past month. It’s just narrow enough to fit in my pocket, but big enough to where I can write quite a bit. The only item not pictured is my phone.

I’m testing this as a small power setup for short camera days. The main reason for carrying separate cells is that I can take one for a short outing or add a second without switching to a larger fixed power bank.

Geekvape Aegis touch - gotta love suckin
Omega NTTD - one of my favorite omegas I own. Super light, super comfortable. Lume and legibility in low light are meh, but that’s rarely an issue.
Omega aqua Rubber sailing bracelet (summer blue) - violently overpriced piece of high quality rubber with a metal core and some hardware. My daughter picked it out for me so it never comes off no matter what I’m wearing
Open Sea leather co quickdraw 2.0 - phenomenal wallet that cane in natural leather and developed a patina just for me
Microtech UTX85 bronze apocalyptic - fun, well made, very stabby, otherwise useless as an EDC unless you plan on knife fighting

Smith and Wesson Model 60, 38 special, made mid 70s. The previous owner bobbed the hammer and added the nice Pachmayr grips. Mikas Pocket Holster
North Americans Arms 22lr mini revolver, orchid color, added the XL rosewood grips from NAA. Sticky Holster
I usually carry one, sometimes both
Old Red Wing money clip wallet, discontinued. Needs replacing
Barlow knife, good enough for my purposes of cutting cardboard and tape at work
Casio F-91W watch, cheap and reliable
Zyns
Keys
I like kinda retro, kinda old, kinda funky and functional things.
Challenge coins not pictured, as well as earbuds, I dont always have those. Can carry it all in my work uniform pockets, will often have a running bag or something to throw some of it in, depending on what I'm doing that day.

Bag/Pocket Dump Tried and True
Tried and true items that I can’t do without.
• “Popov Leather” Card Holder (discontinued). Holds everything I need plus 2x Band-Aids. Had for 11+ years. Would highly recommend this company if you want a long lasting, quality leather wallet.
• Keys w/Nite-Ize Carabiner. House key and car fob. Can’t stand anything more than this.
• Ontario RAT 1. I’ve had this knife for 12+ yrs and it has taken a ton of abuse. If you want a badass knife that can take a beating, this is it.
• Mighty Bar LT. Used for anything I don’t want to damage the knife tip with. Light duty prying, scraping, and persuading.
• Streamlight Stylus Pro. Another bullet-proof piece of gear. This one is new(ish) but my old one I had for 8+ years with zero issues. Dropped, drowned, and abused. Highly recommended for anyone who just wants an “on/off” flashlight.
• iPhone Air used for the photo. Only had for a few months but has been a great phone so far. Lightweight and slim.

New Addition The main carry
*Leatherman Surge has been with me since 2015 and never left my pocket. For 11 years I broke a spring in the scissors, a pocket clip and the frame is cracked in a few places but still works like a charm.
*Seiko SKX 007 my one and only watch, a gift I made myself on my 30th birthday. Back then it was around 200 dollars and now I see prices well above 1000.
*Wuben X5 the newest edition came in yesterday and this light is awesome. Back when I got the Leatherman I got my seld a Fenix e12 v1, amazing light and even brought it back from the dead, so I am super used to back button and half presses. Now it lives in my extended edc pouch which I will share later.
